    I recommend RivaTuner, though ntune may be more noob friendly.

    Try them both, and make up your mind :) not much of a difference in overclocking

    is there any warning or something when ur CPU gets to hot because before when i did it in bios everything was just a guessing game, i remember i bought new celeron 633 back in 1998 or something when that was really good and i clocked it to 700MHz fine. Then i tried 800 and the whole thing burned and i had to buy a new 1.... sucks if i burn my CPU at my new laptop and i gotta fix it

    any tips here?

    Please note the author in the how to recommends nvTweak to unlock the Nvidia overclocking panel. If you are running Vista though I don't believe it will work. I got an error message when trying to run the classic control panel which has the overclocking tab.
