The following was taken from Planet Hardware's site regarding overclocking Geforce Cards:

"First, if you don't see the overclocking options tab from within the 'additional properties' area of the driver properties window, you'll need to enable them. Bring down the Start menu, choose Run, and type in 'regedit'. Now, navigate over to the following directory (or 'key') HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NVTweak. Create a new DWORD value, named CoolBits and set its value for '3'. Now when you open up the 'additional properties' area of the drivers, you will see the overclocking tab. "

Question: How do you do the 2nd to last sentence..."Create a new DWORD Value, named Coobits and set its value for 3"

thanks

It is quicker just to use NVMax, but to answer your inquiry "Question: How do you do the 2nd to last sentence..."Create a new DWORD Value, named Coobits and set its value for 3"

You simply right click and go into New(only choice available) and it will give you several things to pick from including "DWORD Value". Then you name the DWORD "CoolBits". After that you right click on the CoolBits DWORD and select modify to change the value to 3.
