What did you use to overclock it? I don't know what coolbits2.0 exactly is, but it sounds like something of an equivalent to cool 'n quiet for amd cpu processors which keeps it at stock speeds. If that is so, remove coolbits.

not really alien...

Coolbits2.0 is kinda of a registry update, which will show the hidden overclocking functions of nvidia graphics cards. Like when i installed my gfx cards at first, in the display properties there was no sign of the overclocking functionality...after using the coolbits2.0, i can overclock.
But it doesnt stay there..evertime i restarts...it returns to no overclocking funtion

I Would Go with a HOTKEY to Overclock the Video Card. For Example I Only OC my 7800GT when I'm about to PLAY Games or run Tests... No Need to have it ALL THE TIME... What does NE1 else think?
