Hi there!
I have Matrox G400 feaphic card what built with circuit board as G400 max with fan connector, and 5ns ram, with passive cooler.
I have defect G400 max with its own cooler and fan.
How can i mod the g400 to g400 max?
Just a bios flashing, or need change maybe an oscillator ?
I try with matrox tuning utility and see gpu and ram clock is divided from 250mhz quarts oscillator.

Try MGATweak. I used it for years to overclock my G400.

You can fairly easily do a BIOS overclock as well. These cards use text-based variable configuration called "pins" that you flash to the card to set various things including the clock speeds. I suggest using software overclocking instead because you're less likely to run into problems like a corrupted BIOS, non-working config, etc.
