MSI G4 4200 OC error

[Denis_SP]

I have a new MSI GeForce4 Ti 4200 128Mb and I can´t overclock it. When I´m using the original MSI drivers, I recive this error message every time I try to modify the "MSI overclocking" page:
AppName: rundll32.exe AppVer: 5.1.2600.0 ModName: msicpl.dll
ModVer: 1.0.0.1 Offset: 000016e9

I´ve intalled the last nvidia drivers and, in the advanced options, I can´t even see the option to overclock.
I´ve tryed other drivers also, but the problem continues.

Can you help me?!

Try using another program to overclock your card. Powerstrip, NVMax etc.

Hopefully this will work.

Good luck.

 

[Denis_SP]

The NVmax worked!
Thanks a lot!!!!

If you OC'ed your card to its max I would be very interested in the results... I have the same card and I wonder how high it can go. I have it at 280/570 MHz (GPU/memory) now... but a lot of people are telling that I could get it higher.

I've got this card and I've gotten to 300/550 no probs. Scroing 123xx in 3D Mark with the P4 2.4B at stock speeds.

BTW, I was running RAM at DDR355. I can get up to DDR395 (with some Sammy DTL) and I get 3000MB/s+ bandwidth in Sandra!

Grrr... why will your card do it and mine don't... gotte try upping that AGP Voltage.

I OCed it to 305/540 stable (more than this it crashes). Before my 3DMark used to be around 8500 / 8600. After OCing I´ve got max 9707, OCing CPU too (from 1,66 to 1,71). By the way, my system: Athlon 2.0+, 512 DDR PC2700 in a Asus A7S333. Do you know a way to get my RAM faster? I´d like to get up than 10.000 3DMark (like every one!!).

 

[chuck232]

You could unlock the CPU and then run the FSB higher.

Svol: BTW, that's without any AGP voltage increases. Would increasing it let me do more than at 1.5V?

You have a chance that you can push it a few MHz further with 1.6, 1.7V... if the stability problem is due power shortage.

Sorry, but I don´t have idea how to do it (change from 1,6V to 1,7V) on my motherboard (A7S333). Can you help me again?
BTW, I´ve break the 10.000 3d Marks changing, in the bios, the AGP size to 64MB.

 

[psykoikonov]

You can't change any voltages on that board through bios even ver 1.04.
You can set the FSB:MEM ratio to 4:3, 3:4 and 4:5 however so check that.
Do you have good ram (corsair, Samsung, etc.)? If you do decrease your ram timings other than that the best I could get out of her was 149FSB. Not bad my 1800+ at 2050+.
Also there's no FSB😛CI ratio (maybe at 166, never tried).
I use AGP 128MB helped alitle beyond that no difference.

try faster timings on your ram settings. I dont know what your board can do but if you can change your DRAM settings try these:
1T command,
CAS Latency - CL2,
Ultra timings, (or Fast, or whatever)
4 way interleaving,

You should definately be getting higher 3dmark scores. also try the 40.72 detonators on the nvidia website.
