XFX 6600GT OC

[imported_Infinity3]

Hi, I'm new.
I think the above statement just completely weakened my stance in this thread. Moving on...
I am a somewhat proud owner of the above mentioned card. Moving up from a MSI G4 4800. After much deliberation I had decided to settle with the 6600GT over the 6800 as most argue that the 6600 can be brought pretty close to 6800's performance with better cooling and overclock. However, my issue seems to be... I can't find the overclocking option anywhere. The Nvidia drivers do not offer me this option. XFX very excitedly told me that they do not support overclocking. You know, usual stuff to save their ass in case I get a little audacious with the clock slider.
Anyway, I'm sure some of you might have this card, seems to be the most popular 6600GT AGP card on Newegg, which was one of the many reasons I chose this card.
Any ideas?
My old MSI card had a nice screen which had all the overclocking and speed options built into Windows Display settings but for the life of me I can't find similar settings in this new card.
Thanks in advance.

download rivatuner and unlock the slider

Ahh, thank you very much.

Uggh, yeah. How exactly am I supposed to unlock the slider. There are all these options and the ability to put light bulbs on them and such. What am I enabling and disabling. Is there a Newbie FAQ on this or something...

Umm, anybody?

Well, RivaTuner can be a bit much for a guy that just wants to do some simple overclocking.

Instead of that, you can get coolbits.reg and merge it with your registry.

It's a simple 1 entry change that enables the good stuff in the driver.

(You don't even need to reboot.)
