GeForce 4 FX5600
I just put this card in my computer, not a great card but much better than the mx440 that it was using. I was curious if anyone knew any way of overclocking this card? Any solder points or anything like that. Any help is appreciated.

No need for hardware hacks. Just download the Coolbits registry hack (link) for nVidia's drivers. This basically adds tabs to your normal driver interface, "unlocking" the capability to overclock.

Have fun with it. Just be sure to run a few loops of 3dmark or something similar after every 5 or so mhz to see where the limits are.

*update*

core speed: 450 mhz

memory speed: 675 mhz

With proper cooling I could push the core higher but if you set the memory frequency above 675 it crashes. I am assuming this is just because that is all the card can handle. Is thier anyway to get around this?
