i cant get my GPU higher! :mad: only 320MHz @ 1.77V.
upping the voltage decreases stability. GPU is watercooled.
any thoughts?

A2 or A3 core? My A3 core aircooled doesn't hit really high either :\ I max out @ 327... I was hoping for like 340 after hearing results from others. It all depends on the diff. chips I geuss.

my VRs regulate from 0 to 5k in only 1 turn :(

try to change them, probably better solution ;)

Sys, you might want to update the first picture with Pin information (e.g. GPU Chip: Pin X, Mem Chip: Pin X) to help for those "at a glance" looks :)

i just tried to solder the wires on the chips, guess what? i failed. The wire just can't stick to the leg of the chip. So i gave up.

What do you think is the problem? don't know y the damn wire just can't stick.

boys, i think to have found a very good Abit ti4200
today i'd tryed with MCW40, and it can do 365/650 without any artifact!!! the problem i that antec 400w can't manage my 1800@3ghz 1.85v & 80w pelt with this ti4200... so tomorrow i try with antec 350w for the pelt & 400 fir the system, and try to mod the ti4200 :D

I set volatages to 1.85 & 3.7V I can currently hit 350/670 no artifact, my deafult oc. was 320/615
You can see my cooling in liquid cooling part of the forum, a little later when I upload new pics.

ok i spent 10mins to read 4pages of this thread, and no one said anything about the ALBATRON GeForce 4 TI4200P TURBO.. im depressed :(

im going to buy this card in about a week, and id like to hit 320/720 that a few ppl have gotten. Now i dunno if the stock sinks will allow that high, but would anyone like to post a pic of this card and point out the exact spots?

im thinking of getting some pomona grabbers like the ones used on mobo vmods, incase i happen to try anything.
What kind of pot would i need? im not looking to vmod it that high.
but i just dont really wanna remove the stock cooling. at least till like 6months after the card is old. so i cant ööööö about breaking a 200 dollar card :)

Thanks

well if you want to reach 320/720 don't buy the albatron p turbo, the most of them won't reach near that, 2 guys on unreal.pt forum had only reached 300/650 that is not nothing special for a so expensive card, think twice...

Ehh, that's because the albatron 4200p turbo is totally different layout than the 4200's we're working with.... and ya know there is a whole other thread on the albatron. Go check that one.

sorry but now i've modded my Abit ti4200 but have some doubt on it's mod...

i've connected the 2 pin11 of volt regoulator to a 5k trimmer and so to ground...

set resistance for vmem to 1k, and read about 3.6-3.65v...
set resistance for vgpu to ~0.85k and read about 1.92v...

this is the maximun overvolt that card can do without problem.... if i set vmem over 3.65 i have a lot of artifact and crashes.. the same with vgpu over 1.92...

this with watercooling+plet for gpu & ramsink for mem...

isn't it strange???

Just recieved one of these Albatron Cards from NewEgg,
and I must say im quite disappointed with it.
I'm not sure what card the hardware sites are usin to write their reviews by :confused:
but I assure you it must be different then what I got.
The one I have is only clocking 290/620 without lockups
or SERIOUS artifacting at anything much above that.

My lil abit 4200 (rest in pieces) kicked this pos's ass!!!! :mad:

edit: After work today im gonna pull all the h/s's off
and clean it all up and put it back together with some
A/S and see if that improves anything. But I kinda doubt it.

I see a RMA by the end of the day :(

Peace

Dam, Wanna...that really sucks. By the sounds of it, the first shipments of those Albatrons really clocked like mofo's while the latest ones don't seem to be fairing very well :(

RMA that thing and try another Abit....save urself a few $ anyway.

ok i emailed Albatron usa (there actually local to me about 15mins away) About why the cards artifact at low overclocks. So hopefully they'll be nice enough to send me an email back w/ some advice or a fix. Cuz i didnt pay 200 for a damn card that wont do ti4600 speeds w/ modding. :(

Amen to that!!

Especially one that boasts (and i quote new egg)
"Wanna Get Ti4600 performance with Ti4200 price???"
in their sales pitch.

Most likely I will RMA it and just replace my broken
Abit ti4200 with another of the same, and save myself 50 bux!

Please post back if you hear from Albatron,
as I'd be most interested in their reply.

Also, if you can be a bit more specific about
what numbers you would like I will be glad
to post them here for you.

peace

i just did this mod to my AOpen Geforce 4 4200 128MB.....very nice

so far i'm at 325/477 (rivatuner reports 324.5/472.5)

i just finished soldering the vmem pot on however i have no way to measure the voltage (caps are not the same and there's only one cap that i can measure from and thats for vcore) so i'm kind of shooting in the dark....isn't that scary? hah

i guess i jack up the mem frequency and if i get artifacts i give the pot a turn :)

finally 375/720 & 16.8k in 3dmark :D :cool:

vgpu 1.92-3v
vmem at 3.6v

doesn't accept any highter overvoltage... soon gpu lapping ;)

Is that without heatsink on your ram?

just wanted to show off my modding work. the ramsinks with vmod netted me 53mhz over stock overclock. the vr's are glued to the pcb so as no accidents happen when working around the card

What cooling do you have on the GPU to get 340mhz?
12-14-2002, 08:53 PM

Currently the gpu is stock cooled, want to put a larger cpu heatsink on but dont really know the best way or a good one to use.
