    Hi all,

    This is my first post here yay :) But ive been reading the forums for a while now. So firstly hi to everyone :D

    I recently got a MSI EX700 which has the 8400M GS in it.

    Ive been trying to overclock it but it just doesnt seem to work. Ive used RivaTuner and Nvidia monitor but nothing works.

    When i change the timings from 400/400 to 450/500 nothing actually changes. It says the system is overclocked however using an actual monitor the mem or core speed neither changes.
    If i click accept then ok on rivatuner it simply reverts back to 400/400 (not that it was any higher once i click accept on OC).

    Does anyone know how i can fix this?

    Anyone else had this problem?
    Can post screenshots if needed

    Thanks all
    Chris

    Guys it still wont overclock
    Ive tried Rivatuner and Nvidia tuner. ATItool doesnt show and core or mem speed

    I think the card may be locked at max of 400/400

    Im running the latest drivers from Nvidia

    Ive got a MSI E700

    I can underclock it but not overclock
