Coolbits 2.0 A little bit of help required

I now have coolbits enabled. But I am unsure how to go about overclocking and testing. I’m using Everest to check actual Clocks settings

The settings are broken down in to 2D and 3D within the forceware driver

Obviously if I change 3D with-out running a 3D application then the clocks don’t change.

So basically how I’m I going to check clocks with a full screen application running?, such as a game

Oh and another thing the Memory clock = 800Mhz where as the Everest value is at 200Mhz. why is this?

Can people give me some idea's, like how they go about doing this?
 
The way I did it was just to go as high as coolbits would let me. You to run the test thing before you apply it, and if the test failed and the card was unstabe it reverts back to the original settings. I didnt bother testing it with a game until after I had finished. As I couldn't overclock it very much anyway. I managed to overclock the core by 120 mhz and the memory by 80mhz. Thats all it would let me do.

Im not sure about the values in everest. Mine showed up wrong too. It didnt even show the changes to the core clock even though I had definately changed them.
 
You can download and install Riva tuner, it has a monitor function. SO you just activate the coolbit overclock, and then turn the monitor on with rivatuner, play you game and then when you come back you will see a graph of what your clock speeds were.
 
Ah I might do that.

I have just got to a Core overclock of +50Mhz (now at 350Mhz). Everything is fine so far.

Idle temps are at 51C (before they were at 49C)
The problem I am having with the burn temps is that in the time I Alt Tab to go back to the Nvidia Control panel the temps have dropped, and the graph is crap to read from and my only guess is the highest temps I have reached is about 68C, (before about 66C)

Does Rivatuner have a Max read out so you can see the maximum you have ever reached?

And finally what temperature should I aim to stop at; because the threshold is at 145C which sounds crazy would I be right is saying about 80C is a good temp.

Oh and one last thing the memory for the graphics card does not have any cooling system apart from the just radiating it’s self. So I’m a bit worried that I can’t monitor the effects of overclocking the memory. Its set at 800mhz atm might just increase it a bit thou
 
In answer to your question about Rivatuner showing the max temp you have reached, it displays the temp in a graph and also stores it in a log file. SO you can read the log file afterwards and see how high the temp went. Although there might be a bit in the actual program that tells you.
 
I would prefer a graphical graph over log files. but I guess if you have played a game for a long time, the max might move out of range of the graph because it monitoring in real time, but chances are when you are playing a game, the temps will plateau when the game is on.
