Overclock utility for GeForce 7600GT ?

[Yoshi64]

Just replaced my Radeon 9800 with a GF 7600GT, and need some tips for good overclocking programs for new Nvidia cards...

I used coolbits to overclock mine.

If I were going to overclock my 7900GT, I'd use coolbits also. There's no need for a 3rd party utility to overclock NV cards.

Oh and if you need to test the stability of the o/c, try RTHDRIBL. If your card passes several hours of RTHDRIBL torture you've got a good overclock going on.

Where can I download coolbits? It is a registry-hack, right?

I would like an app that can overclock the card when I run certain games, and keep it at stock otherwise.. Is that possible?

Yes it just enables the registry settings that nvidia built into the software but disabled on install. Here ya go. I don't think it has a selective overclock ability though.

Honestly I use RivaTuner. It is a lot more specific in what you tweak, at least I think it is. Coolbits does a good job to, but I like the versatility of RivaTuner.

Hi! Not to threadjack, but I am thinking about getting some more juice out of my 6800 vanilla. I currently have a Dell XPS Gen4 with a 6800 256MB PCIe card that came with it. I've never overclocked a videocard before and am a little hesitant. I'd like to get a bit more juice in my Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source games. I downloaded and installed Coolbits 2.0 this morning from Guru3D and it says my card is currently running 325/600 for the GPU/mem. I had it detect the optimal settings and it came up with 422/796! Is this what my card is capable of or is this a bit extreme? Are those speeds safe? I'm anxious to hit apply, but I don't want to burn my card up!

I have stock cooling on there right now and my card is idling around 54C with the ambient reporting 41C. I'm thinking about picking up the NV Silencer 5 (please correct me if this is wrong) for my card before I overclock. Is there any significant danger I could encounter in the long-run from overclocking?

By the way, is this the right cooler for my series of card? (6800 vanilla PCIe)

Thanks!
