Is it true that the new Nvidia drivers 12.41 do not support overclocking? If so are we talking video oclocking or cpu oclocking?

I was looking for a link to the new drivers and I guy replied saying 12.41's do not support overclocking and I just wanted to verify, sure if he said he is probably right...

I believe it just means that the CoolBits hack will not work anymore, but NVMax or Powerstrip should still get the job done.

That's correct, Monster. Coolbit's won't work, but there's a simpple solution. Apply coolbits, then copy the file "nvcpl.dll" from an older version of NVidia's drivers (Anything before 12.41) into C:\Windows\System (C: represents the drive on which Windows in installed)

It's as simple as that. You'll still have the latest drivers, but with the ability to overclock withough using a 3rd party software overclocking package (Like nVMax).
