Tachyon Graphics Monitor 2.0  
PART V: Overclocking your Tachyon Graphics Card  
Under “VPU SPEED,” you will find both the factory default speed setting and the  
current speed of the VPU. Under “MEMORY SPEED,” you will find both the  
factory default setting and the current speed of your memory. In order to change  
the speed of the VPU or memory, first point and click on the slide control button  
provided and then pull the button to the right (increase) or to the left (decrease)  
until the desired speed is selected. Second, you must click the “Apply” button  
located under the System Information display to execute the desired settings. In the drop down  
menu located under the System Information display, you will see two choices: “Default  
Settings” and “Preferred Settings.” “Default Settings” will set the VPU and memory speed back  
to the factory default settings. “Preferred Settings” will set the VPU and memory speed back to the last applied personal  
settings. After you click the “Apply” button, a confirmation dialog window will appear. This window will display the  
desired clock speed settings. Confirm these settings by clicking “OK” or cancel these settings by clicking “Cancel.” You  
will have ten seconds to make your decision or the new settings  
will be canceled. If canceled, the TGM will automatically set the  
VPU and memory speeds back to the last applied personal  
settings.  
PART VI: Understanding the System Information Display  
When loaded, the TGM will automatically extract the following information: AGP  
MAX Mode, Driver Version, Memory Size and VPU model. “AGP MAX Mode”  
refers to the maximum AGP bus mode supported by your motherboard. “Driver  
Version” refers to the current driver version installed with your graphics card.  
Compare this information with the driver version available on the Tyan website to  
determine whether or not you have the latest driver. Installing the latest driver update may give you new software functions  
and improve your card’s performance. “Memory Size” refers to the amount and type of memory on your Tachyon graphics  
card. “VPU” refers to the specific model of the graphics processor used on your card.  
PART VII: Reading the Hardware Monitor  
The TGM’s Hardware Monitor was designed to help  
you determine in real-time the safety of your system  
by monitoring key indicators such as fan speed and  
VPU temperature. To enable the Hardware Monitor,  
go to the main Video Settings Window and click on  
the “Enable Hardware Monitor Feature” button.  
**NOTE: PLEASE DISABLE the Hardware Monitor while using graphic intensive applications like computer  
games or benchmarks. As the Hardware Monitor shares the same AGP bus, the performance of your applications and the  
hardware indicator readings in the TGM will be affected. However, even if the Hardware Monitor is disabled or the TGM  
Window is closed, the program will still beep if one of the Hardware Items falls below or exceeds the designated safe range.

PART VIII: Hardware Details Window  
List of Hardware Items that can be selected  
Description of the selected Hardware Item  
Real-time Graph of recent changes in the  
value of the selected Hardware Item  
Display of Current Value and Safe Range of selected  
Hardware Item  
Fan Speed Manual Control Mode Slide Control  
Beep Test Button  
To view the status of hardware items other than VPU temperature and fan speed, click on the “Detail” button in the main  
Video Settings Window. In the Hardware Details Window, you can choose from a list of 7 hardware items: Fan Speed,  
Memory Core Voltage, Memory I/O Voltage, Memory Temperature 1, Memory Temperature 2, VPU Core Voltage, and VPU  
Temperature. In each graph, the Y-axis was set according to the “safe range.” The thin red line indicates the recommended  
value of the hardware item being monitored. Please note that this value is just a reference point. The card is considered  
“safe” as long as the “current value” remains within the indicated “safe range.” If any of the hardware item indicators  
should exceed or fall below the designated “safe range,” then your graphics card  
will alert you by making a beeping sound. If you click on the main graph in the  
Hardware Details Window, another higher resolution graph will pop up in a  
separate window. This graph allows you to view in more detail the slightest  
changes in each hardware item’s value. You can think of these real-time graphs as  
helping you to “monitor the heartbeat” of your Tachyon graphics card. To  
familiarize yourself with the sound of the beeper on your card, please click on the  
“beep test” button.  
PART IX:  
Fan Speed Adjustment (Currently only available on G9500 and G9200 Series)  
Reducing the fan speed will lower the overall noise level in your PC system for a more pleasant work environment. First, go  
to the Hardware Details Window and select “Fan Speed” in the Hardware Item List. Next, point and click on the slide  
control and then pull the button to the desired acoustic setting. If you click on the “Start fan speed manual-control mode”  
button in the main Video Settings Window, the TGM will automatically set the fan speed back to the last applied manual  
settings. If you wish to change the setting, please go to the Hardware Details Window and use the slide control to set the fan  
to the desired speed.  
**NOTE: The TGM will not allow you to completely stop the fan, as that may cause serious damage to your graphics  
card. If you forget to re-adjust the fan speed while you are using graphics intensive applications, the TGM will  
automatically return the fan to the MAX speed once the VPU temperature reaches 60 degrees Celsius.
