    Did some searching around on here and LV2G and couldn't find any specific driver. Up until about a week ago, I could overclock my 1520 (and not go above 70C) ... Booted it up the other day and now it won't O/C ... it's like the drivers changed on me.

    What drivers (are good) and provide overclocking for my 8600GT running XP?

    Thanks

    Try switching to the dell ones...
    then try uninstalling/reinstalling your OC program...

    then try again.

    else any driver 17x.xx would suffice.

    If that don't work, the only driver that let me overclock on my card was 169.04 . A bit old, but overclocing solves the problem

    Dell's latest 174.31 drivers for XP allow overclocking for me; so have all the other 17x.xx drivers I've tried from laptopvideo2go.com (most of which are more recent than Dell's).
