OK, then I won't bother......I have integrated gfx also, but, like all of them, it is crap

Unless you OC to a stupid point ... no amount of OCing will threaten the heat integrity of the GFX5200 ... it wont OC that much...but I want to know if I can use an old CPU fan to cool it. If so, could I just tape it on with electrical tape or something?
Because if its hot enought o need active cooling then the tape will melt.Why can't I just tape the fan to the heatsink on the card?
Temp sensor doesnt affect OCability. You can OC it for sure but it wont do thaaaat muchg given the overal poopiness of the cardanybody know if the 5200 is OCable? I know it doesn't have a temp sensor
You wont ... unless you OC to a stupid point ... for which ... if you're really doing crazy stuff like that then you deserve to.just don't want to fry it if I OC.
Thermal glue is for attatching the heatsink to the chip... translation: get a new heatsink first .. then worry about fan... of course this is all under the assumption you can OC it that much to start withWhat good would thermal glue do?
Huh?It has a heatsink, currently it is sitting on top of an IDE cable blowing air into the heatsink.
Since when is a GFX5200 clocked like that? ... oh you mean the limit ok nvm ... well thats not happening eithersorry, it's 460/1GHz
YepGuess it is just the limit?
Because it wont.How come it won't run any faster?
Has nothing to do with heat. Has nothing to do with programming. Simply has to do with the analog quality of the materials and the process which is all luck of the draw,But it's not even hot! Is it just programmed like that, regardless of the heat?
There's nothing activing stopping you from OCing ... so thus, nothing to "bypass"Is there any way I could bypass it, without blowing up my card?
Aye quite trueassuming the manufacturer used the fastest rated modules which is unlikely
Try and see.But what about the core speed? Even if the mem can't go any higher, could the core speed?
Yes. But in this cases (1) its not worth it (2) do you really wanna be doing a funky voltage mod? (i.e., how good at soldering are you ... presuming the voltage mod works of course)Is there any way I can let it have more voltage?

P11 said:well some games like HL2 are sensitive to overclocking so in some cases you might get less performance by overclocking.
Probably because it requires stable clock speeds to process the gfx.why would it do that?
Why not? do your parents care about the ratings on games?I can't play H2, i'm inly 13
I highly doubt u can play HL2 on Full Gfx -btw on what resolution?funkymonky8u lol look at my sig amazingly i can play hl2 on full blast with only lag in massive explosions lol crazy but true o and i think that my 5200 is the best 5200 there is (lol not to brag when theres barely anything to brag about be ne way) but when i went on newegg.com and search for all the diff 5200's and mine was 2nd to last (asylum 256mb) so would my oc capability be diff?
I read the reply and hence I qualified my statement with the word activelyYes there is, I posted the message in a previous reply...
My query was that you said you had a heatsink blowing on then card -- not a fan blowing on the card. Now if you meant "fan" then thats one thing (at which point it would have been expected to say fan), now if you mean heatink-fan then you're best off picking a heatsink and using it in conjunction with the fanThe fan is not attached to the card, it is just blowing onto it
Quite right but it doesnt affect the ability to OCA temp sensor would help to see if it is overheating......
How do you figure? The game doesnt have a built in database of stock settings for all the cards or anything.... it just makes DirectX function calls ... the speed at which those calls execute is independent...well some games like HL2 are sensitive to overclocking so in some cases you might get less performance by overclocking.
1. You mean BFG 5200. Asylym is a series name not a company.lol look at my sig amazingly I can play hl2 on full blast with only lag in massive explosions lol crazy but true o and I think that my 5200 is the best 5200 there is (lol not to brag when theres barely anything to brag about be ne way) but when I went on newegg.com and search for all the diff 5200's and mine was 2nd to last (asylum 256mb) so would my oc capability be diff?
Even at 640x480@32 16x 6x ... theres no way in hell you're running it fast .... hell even my box lags out from time to time :|btw on what resolution?
why would it be any different, its the same parts just running a little faster out of the box and a different brand name on the finished productfunkymonky8u said:so would my oc capability be diff?
yes but the same model uses the same base parts for the finished product. this means that the OC limit will generally be in the same area for all each product line. Sure sometimes you get a really high OC or a really low one but more often than not they all hit in the same ballparkP11 said:every card oc's differently even if u have the two same models u may get a higher oc on one of them
At what resolution?whoa ok I said this in another thread I didnt mean to say hl2 sry I mean ut2004 and it all depends on wut maps im playing
i though ocing my card would b diff than bobo's cuz mine has twice the memory so I thought mine mine would be a lil tougher to ocing and as I said somewhere else and I quote w/o quotes lol I dont no much about ocing im just getting started
Not the kinda posting attitude a forum admin wants to see....this time I mean it so lets not start a whole new thread about an accident post, k?

Ok now to set things right.
1. The 5200 is a part of the GeForceFX series
2. The GeForceFX series sucks ass running the DirectX9 codepath
3. HL2 is a DirectX9-based game
4. See the attatched image for the GeForceFX5200 Ultra -- on a faster system than yours too. For the rest of the article: http://www.tomshardware.com/business/20030911/half-life-01.html
To play HL2 you need to have direct9 installed if im not mistaken however as I understand it, you do not need to make use of the directx9 codepath ... by running HL2 in directx8 mode you'll get a significant performance improvement.You sayin I would get better results if I used directx 8->?
