Re: overclocking 9400GT

Is it an integrated motherboard chip or a discrete video card? Also, what are the rest of your system specs?
Motherboard
CPU
RAM
Power supply (brand, model, wattage)

Re: overclocking 9400GT

What are your power supply specs? You'll have to open up the computer and look, the PSU is the bulky unit with lots of cables where the power cord plugs in.

Re: overclocking 9400GT

You could overclock using something like Rivatuner. Just don't expect massive performance boosts, 2-5fps more at best.
