High FSB and Geforce 4

broken003 · 10-03-02, 07:04 AM

I have been cranking up my fsb and I noticed that I get to a point where it seems that the video is screwed up (I get flashing characters right at boot). I searched but I didnt find anything about correcting this...is there a way to correct this?

setup
Geforce4 Ti4200 MSI
A7V333
XP1800 (unlocked)
Corsair XMS PC2700

Once your FSB gets to the 38-39Mhz range, you can start getting problems. Hard drives are also know to cause problems at high FSBs. I have 2 questions for you.

Does your motherboard support PCI dividers?
What is your current FSB speed?

Correcting.. When the PCI-clock reaches the upper 30's you may run into problem and the AGP depends on the PCI-clock.
And if you run out of the specs you may get some problem before you know it...

I dont remember exactly what the fsb was, somewhere in the 180-190 range I believe.

I have read people hitting 200 FSB with this board, but I didnt look at what video card they were running.

I've got the exact same mbo and have hit 206fsb w/o any video/graphics problems.

yea maxima, your posts were probably the 200+ speeds that I was talking about.

I forgot to mention that I have the 128 meg ti4200. I dont know if that would make a difference though

diff cards have problem at diff speeds i was only able to get 196 fsb on my board but now that i have the 9700 pro card im stuck on 176

Are you having problems when you o/c the vid card or even at default speeds?

o770 · 10-03-02, 12:18 PM

the only way to get it corrected is by decreasing the AGP interface from 4x to 2x - this is if you have it set to 4x.
i dont think you will want it set to 1x in the case you have it set to 2x.
