    Ok I just flashed a Prema vBIOS onto my 970m. I was looking for a suitable OC utility. The thing is, most of the common ones are a bit problematic. Nvidia inspector always errors when I try to apply clocks at startup or use clocks shortcut. Afterburner has been really great to me, but there is a +100mv limit. I can go into the profile text file and change the voltage value but I'm not sure how that will turn out. PrecisionX seems like it doesn't have any of these problems, but I really love rtss and I don't think PrecisionX can show cpu stats as well as GPU stats. Now I need a way to either get workarounds to these problems or just another OC utility that doesn't suffer from these issues. Thanks.
    TLDR; Neither inspector, AB, or PrecisionX full fill my needs, what is a better OC utility?

    When you say inspector errors, what error is it?

    I don't really remember, but something about corrupted memory when I try to auto apply clocks or use a clock shortcut. Also, sometimes the clocks don't take affect.
