Overclocking Nvidia doesn't work


Hi guys!

First of all, i know this is on my own risk and it is me who is fiddling around with my Nvidia card. So please, no lectures!

I try to overclock my Nvidia card just for fun and experimenting. I'm running Mint 17.2 Xfce and following this instruction. But i don't see the GPU Fan setting button under Thermal Settings nor do i see the Enable Overclocking option.

My nvidia card is the GeForce 8400GS (in a desktop system connected to my flatscreen tv). Has this type of videocard a limitation for overclocking? Did someone overclock this card?

Thanks for your assistance!

Are you using the current NVIDIA.run ?
or a deb from mint

-- use the .run driver

that card uses the older legacy driver "340.93 "
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/drive...px/91217/en-us

this old card dose NOT use the "355.11" nor the "352.41" driver


and to cover the face planting on the desk

you DID reboot after editing the xorg.conf
