Does PowerStrip need to be running in order to lock in clock settings?

If I overclock my Radeon to say...180MHz, does PowerStrip have to be running at all times in the background?

It normally does. There is a command line option that allows it to exit after it sets the clock, but it been awhile and I don't remember what it was. You can use one of the various Radeon tweakers that will set the clock speed @ boot and not run in the background. They work very well.

Yeah, but they always drop the clock back to default after rebooting in Windows XP even after checking the box that says apply on reboot. That's why I'm going to powerstrip

Ahhh... I'm not running XP and have been out of the Radeon scene for a bit. Have you tried the guys @ Rage3D?
