Guest jamesbigmac Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I have an 8600m GT 512mb card that has factory settings of 475/400 and I want to overclock those to about 580/480. When I got to set these numbers, I slide the bars in the custom tuning section to 580/480, and go to click apply. However, when I hit apply the settings automatically reset to factory settings and I am stuck with the same s***ty 475/400 clock settings. Any idea on how to fix this?

Garandhero Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 What drivers are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I really don't think it is because of the driver. I have tried both the 169.04, and 7.15.11.117 whatever that is (computer automatically found the update). Sorry that I can't give any more details into the driver, but I have no idea where computer got it from, and it isn't digitally signed.

Guest Guest Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Neither Riva or ATI tool will let me either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phoenix Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Use Coolbits to unlock the registry values, and you should be able to overclock. KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO INCREASE COOLING CAPACITY ON A MOBILE CHIPSET, WHICH ALREADY RUNS HOT, AND YOU RUN THE RISK OF FRYING YOUR HARDWARE. YOU AND ONLY YOU ARE LIABLE. OVERCLOCK AT YOUR OWN RISK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipper Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Drivers past 169.04 may not overclock - try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morris Lee Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 ther newer drivers would do, my current 169.25 can overclock with ntune perfectly, and if you want permanent, change it in bios Morris Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanKem Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I have the same problem, I recently upgraded my Acer Aspire 4520G from 8400m g to 8600m gt, and I can't raise the frequencies past the default 475/400. I am using 156.83 modded drivers for xp. I used to overclock my old card using Riva Tuner, but now it is no longer possible. Does anyone have any ideas?
