    Guys,
    I followed the tutorial at laptopvideo2go.com 'bout overclocking and I got nowhere with NVTweak. I got an error message when trying to change the control panel to classic. Apparently the overclocking features are only available on the classic control panel. The newer control panel didn't change so there is no option.

    How is everyone else OC'ing?

    If you are using RivaTuner can someone recommend a tutuorial.
    Looks confusing to me.

    Thanks.

    I'm running 169.25 as of yesterday but playing really old game. Don't seem to have problems. Got 50~60 fps from Unreal T3 demo without OC obviously.
