CoolBits working great with 12.90 drivers here too. One other thing, what are you guys using to monitor the heat from GF2? I have a Leadtek card and the old WinFox drivers had hardware monitoring software built in, but the latest drivers don't have that cuz I guess all GF2 cards don't have hadrware monitoring... Any suggestions? Reason is cuz I'm obviously OC'ing GF2 and I would like to know what the limit is... (Is it heat related as well?)

If you use the NVmax (http://www.tweakfiles.com/video/) program you can enable overclocking on WHQL drivers. I'm using the 12.41's and its no problem.
BTW I tried the 12.90's and got some strange artifacts on some menu buttons - it benched better than the 12.41's but I decided it wasn't worth the bugs.

I'm using 12.60 drivers and i know after installing coolbits i didn't have the extra tab for overclocking the video card till i ran the following line at windows run command:

rundll32.exe nvqtwk.dll,NvHWCtl

I get best perfomance with the 12.90's. I am having some problems though, with the 12.90's I have no options to change any setings at all! What is up with this? Even if I run coolbits, there just arnt any tabs to select from for geforce 2... any help is apreciated!!
