Sometimes is it vice versa to me.

If I have a high core, I will lightly to get Artifact in the beginning when finding the mem. If I lowered the core, I will find artifact untill it reach at 780+Mhz

Back to my orignal question, why are you putting the memory at 850?

You wonder why you are getting artifacts.

it is because I believe is not only the Mem gets artifacts and core too.

Secondly, I was pushing it to the max max max to see what happens.

Thirdly, in stock volts, I can already go up to 800Mhz and why not 50Mhz extra.

True that Volt occur with the Core but .. I'm stressing the card max as I can before for a short run.

Dude LOL 50 is a shit load.......................lol

Set your core to 410 and your memory at 740 see how it runs.

Also in NiBiTor you are setting your memory as 1/2 of what DDR is right?

Set in NiBiTor to 410/370(740 DDR)

Try 1.24v too please.

Hmmm... OK, took a peek around and I'm going to try it on my laptop. How'd you guys back up your original BIOS? Did you just take a copy of what NiBiTor originally read and used that?

Yes, just save it as orig.rom or something.

yah, figured that out

Ok, so the NV42, which I have, is completely screwed. I tested using HL2, which I've found to be one of the best games for stressing the entire system. I tried voltages 1.3, 1.33, 1.35, and 1.38. All of them hardlocked when I tried for 385 (my max before was 380) using software overclocking. Interestingly enough, 1.25, which I tested for the hell of it, showed artifacts and did not hardlock at 385, but I still exited because it obviously wasn't stable. Next I tried flashing clocks onto the BIOS. I tried 400/770 with 1.38v, and HL2 crashed immediately after I loaded a level, so I didnt bother going higher. Doesn't look like it works for the NV42 , but that would make sense because they supposedly are binned.

EDIT: Oh yah, temps never went above 65C, so it's a circuitry issue, probably parts that are only made to meet NU specs.

I got some bad news... after gaming for hours on end the card is reaching temps in the upper 60's... I used to never ever get that high... and that's at 1.29v so I returned the bios to normal (the backup I made by captureing the original with nibitor) and now everything is 1.1v again and my temps are still extremelly higher than usual !!!


something funky is goin on here..... is there any way to obtain the origional bios from nvidia cause I think this backup is screwed... I don't think the program is capturing the bios quite right... at least it's still working...

ozzlo... the temp limit of your card is 97'C

Me playing games, it goes up to 70-80'C +

Hey, if you have an v42 card, I can send you my original bios

PM me with your email if you need it and Ill send it later tonight

My flashback (rom not psychadelia) has gone back to 60s after ATI stress/gaming with fangui19 running, so bios is safe. Maybe something in your voltage table is screwy

think its the card waving a white flag since its above 343.5mhz core, the throttling (is that the correct term?) I saw when it got artifacts. Thats why I've reduced my OC to 340 from 350/380, think I may get better real life performance due to the card not coughing up blood

wow all this time trying to squeeze extra oomph out of an overcock in XP and I spend more time in Tiger without a proper nvidia driver! at a crappy low resolution.

This volt mod might have screwed up my card. After flashing back to the original bios, I'm getting artifacts w/ the clocks that was previously completely stable before the flash. And no, this is not due to temperature since my house is extremely cold and the gpu is idling at 39C.

Are you running 395/775?

I get artifacts at stock volt here.

Yes, 395/775 never used to give me artifacts. I bumped it down to 390/770 and I still got artifacts...Can w/ the nv42 that hasn't tried voltmodding send me a copy of their bios? That would be much appreciated!

Umm.. you are telling me that you didn't backup your original BIOS?!?!

No, I backed up my bios through nibitor before flashing. I should have backed it up with nvflash. I am saying that even after I've restored to this backup bios, I am getting artifacts when I didn't before.
