    Download MSI Afterburner MSI Afterburner
    Then just move the sliders and apply :)
    With this app you can also turn the onscreen display so you can monitor temps,clocks & SLI.

    i downloaded afterburner which was very easy to figure out and use but i immediately ran into the problem of my system freezing on restart. this was only fixed by booting into safe mode and uninstalling afterburner. do you leave your overclock on permanently or do you only apply it prior to gaming?

    There's also Nvidia System Tools.
    Also with sliders,you can create profiles so your OC will kick in only when you start a specific application/game.

    Ooor you can test some stable clocks with these two (MSI AB,NST) and flash your cards with them,won't recomend if you've never done it.

    i had that problem but seem to have fix its self :) there is others like nvidia inspector 1.94 which also looks after your game profiles as well. I use both and only over-clock when needed ie benchmarks for games i use standard clocks as most games run flawlessly
