Hercules Prophet II TI200 overclocking is death !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TimisoaraKill]

I got today 3 x Hercules Prophet II TI200's Retail Box and a good friend of mine told me to try to overclock the cards and to give him the best ocerclocking card.
Usualy i dont' do this but for this guy i made an exception.
First i get out the Heatsinks from the memory and discovered that cards hawe Samsung 4Ns DDRam (500mhz) and i was very happy with this.
Cards are 250GPU/400 memory default .
I made the first jump @ 280mhz memory on the first card and i had huge problem with textures in 3Dmark 2001 and Max Payne was allmost unplayable so i droped to 260 mhz but i still had textures problems and instability.
The only stable overclock on the 3 cards was 250/440.
The GPU on the cards work fine @ 290mhz on the 3 cards.
I replaced also in one card the Heatsinks glue with AS II on the memory but i allways got the same result.
May be is a Hercules Bios problem ,..i hawe no ideea but i never seen in my life 4Ns to overclock @ 440 stable "

Ouch.thats not good.

I had one one the way but since stocks are out here in australia i had to wait another 2 weeks.

I cancelled the order today. lol
maybe a good thing.

I ordered the Abit MX400 instead cause i need a MX anyway for another rig and that would get me through the next few weeks.

My sis has a lan party and she'll be using this MSI pro in the 1.4G athlon and the only other spare is an old MX200. i cant stand that card

The GF3 was going to go in the 1.4G.
I couldnt let her take it out with a MX 200 in it

Maybe its just one bad module.
If i got that one,I'd send it back and say i coulnt get it to run on my rig for some unknown reason.
Maybe a different one will be ok.
I was hoping to get well over 500Mhz mem out mine.
I think i'll wait for the Abit now.
The price of the herc did seem a little too good to be true. Im not a real big fan of samsung video memmory.

Thanks.

Notch another one up for leadtek.

Did we talk about the same card ? this is the Geforce2 TI200 and not the GF3 TI200 !.
If you ordered this card cancel the thing
,..i mean this thing just suck's full time .
I try the 3 cards in a P III system and also inside a Epox8K7A/1.4 TB system and the cards overclocked the same , changed also 5 series of Detonators , all AGP modes but same result and this with a solid 5.2V in the AGP rail under load !
I hawe no ideea how 4Ns can't reach more than 440
Anyway i e-mailed Hercules Today for this and i hawe priority to a fast answer ,..i realy need to know .
I personaly think that is a Bios thing but this is just my opinion .

Oh GF2 I misunder stood. There's no such thing as GF2 ti200. Its just GF2 ti. Gainward call some of their GF2 ti models ti400.ti450 and ti500 just to confuse ppl

Otherwise. just GFII ti.
Thats still possibly the same ram used on their ti200(gf3) though i have seen ppl getting 500 from the ti200's.

So i feel better about the ti200 now bit still might have a look at the abit first.
