nvidia overclocking option

[feelingshorter]

Once, i had the option to overclock my cpu in under the display > advance > one of the tabs..

I had it long long ago and i had no idea why it was there then and why its not there now. Anyone know how i can get it back? I actualy need to underclock my BFG 6600GT as i keep getting "not enough power" error (darn raptor sucking up all zee power, gonna sell it here soon, brand spanking new).

Do you have the 4pin Molex plugged in on your 6600GT? I know the AGP versions have the molex, not sure about the PCIE ones.

If you do have that all straightened out, do a search for "Coolbits" which will show you how to add a registry key to the Nvidia drivers to allow overclocking.

rivatuner is cool, too.

running on a VNF4 Ultra, i have a OCZ modstream 450....the thing might be dying or something, i do not know but its sad that its not providing my video card with enough power, and im on PCI-E so there is no molex...

Did you plug in the 6-pin PCIe connector? I'm not sure if the 6600GT needs it, but it might. And OCZ has great support, so if there really is a problem, just hit them with an email, they'll help you out.

no 6600gt has the connector...thats the problem ;(, it seems that the card isnt recieving enough power when i play BF2...
