I use ATI Tool, but i have an ATI card. I've heard that RivaTuner or nTune is good for nVidia cards.

Coolbits is probably the best. I've not overclocked mine, but I've tinkered with trying to COOL it off. But yeah, probably the best/most simple 'clock' utility.

I use coolbits occasionally, when I do want to boost my card. I normally don't though, but its a good program.

Just double click on it and it will change the registry value, click ok, then go into Nvidia settings and it should say "Clock Frequency Settings."
