GeForce 4 Ti4200?

[davemar14]

I have a PNY Verto GeForce 4 Ti 4200 with 64 MB. I was doing some overclocking with the card yesterday. I changed the stock speed of 250/514 to 275/570. Everything was running fine. Now today I turned the computer on and I heard a low humming sound coming from the case. So I turned off the comp immediately and opened it up. I took out the video card and reseated it in the AGP slot. I then started it up again and it gave me the same sound. I let the computer sit for 1 hour and then turned it on. Now everything is fine, and there is no humming sound. All the speeds on the FSB and the card are back to stock. I only overclock when I am benchmarking. Is it possible that I did damage to the card? The screen looks fine, and there is NO flickering on the screen. Is the card OK?

no worry
my 8500LE does the same thing, I just leave it run for 5 min then the humming will be gone

Humming? Never had that happen to me and Ive done some really crazy OC jobs of AGP cards in my days....

F-DISK-Format-Reinstal DO DA!! DO DA!!

The humming soundd like a low dying sound. The fan spins fine, and there is nothing interfering with the card. I have sent the card back for an RMA, so I will let you know what happens. Hopefully they will replace the card. When I overclocked the FSB from 133 to 137, could that have messed up the voltages going to the video card. In my BIOS there is no option for locking the AGP slot, so I am assuming it is locked from the factory. I have an Asus A7N8X Deluxe Rev 1.04. Thanks

I don't think so, you got a nForce2 board, overclocking shouldn't mess ur setup unless other parts of your pc are poor

Here is my whole setup:

In Internet Options, you have to have SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, and TLS 1.0 enabled. You can try the link again, or here it is:
AMD Athlon XP 2400+

Corsair 512 MB DDR 400
Western Digital 80 GB w/8 MB
Seagate 20 GB

that system is great, i don't see any crappy part that is holding you back

 

[davemar14]

I got my replacement card and it gives me the same sound. Just like you said, I left it run for a minute or so, and then the sound goes away. Do you know what the sound is?

 

[Nights_L]

Due to its fan i guess..

 

[davemar14]

Well, I had a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 with AGP 4x, and they sent me a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 with AGP 8X, and the card looks better. It has a golden heatsink, and ramsinks, the card just looks better. Maybe the sound is until the voltages level out.

 

[addiarmadar]

No but it does increase the AGP bus from 66 to 68, thus overclocking the card.

Well, I reset the CMOS and the sound is gone, so all is good.

 

[davemar14]

I thought I had the problem fixed, but the sound is back. I really have no idea what is causing the sound. The sound comes after it starts to load Windows XP.

Definitely!

I have thousands of RAM errors, yet my computer runs everything except SETI and Prime95 fine perfectly, so I'm not doing [-peep-] about it.

Damn Rambus.

 

[pIII_Man]

god stop freaking out about it, many gpus do that because they use really cheep fans, my saphire card did the same thing, made a buzzing sound for like 1 min and then after a while the sound went away, you really didn't have to rma the card. And worrying about increasing the agp bus by 2mhz! ha thats pathetic.
