OC the 8400GS DDR2, What is the fastest?

EIN502 · 04-03-2008, 07:58 PM

I just put Halo on my laptop to see how that would work and it was OK. I still need to learn how to work FRAPS so I can really see my fps. When I OC I did notice that the game seemed smoother. Some how my temps still did not go up that high, only 58 when OC. I am trying to get some other games to see what it can do now.

hi EIN, could you please give clue how to fix the 799Mhz mem hw monitor bug?

EIN502 · 04-03-2008, 11:09 PM

To be honest I don't think there is a way to fix it unless a new version of the program comes out. I used PC Wizard 2008 and it says my mem is 400 normal but my shader is 1728. Plus it says my card is 128-bit bus, but another program GPU-Z says I have a 64-bit bus. The point of telling you this is to let you know that there are problems with the free software we all use. It sucks but if you use different programs you can sift through and find out what is right. This sounds like a similar problem people have with underclocking their cpu and CPU-Z. It happens everywhere. I wish I knew of a way to fix it. It would really be nice to have a program that was bug free, but this is life.

i hope the 799Mhz rivatuner hw monitor just a fluke, after browsing awhile my monitor shows 182/364/799/55`C hope this is normal, and the highest is 57`C just doing 2D video... i`m just too afraid these are real and can damage my card near future...

Like I said it is an error in the program. Your card is not running at 799. When I check with other programs they tell me everything is normal. You and your machine are safe. Don't worry.

oke, thax EIN.. i`ve checked with gpuz1.9 sensor, and the memory clock is normal.. now running 600/1200/500 at 65`C... btw, i always use my laptop cooler when OC, better safe than sorry...
