give me your email address i will mail it to you ... its a fantastic utility because mine was 200/400 stock and now running @ 235/451 quite stable..
when you install this .reg file and increase the core and mem speeds you will first click the below button Test Settings it will show you if new settings will run stable or not...

I found the file, it worked fine and I got an overclock of 306/520, it works pretty good but if I raise the chip speed it locks up in some games.

I think it was 250/400 or something around that I'm on stock heat sink to be more precise but I leave my case open and there is a 80mm fan blowing toward the card.

be sure to uninstall all of those other programs you put in there.
Use coolbits only, try the 5303 drivers from nvidia and stay away from the card manufacturers driver sets.
When you update a driver you will likely have to reinstall coolbits though.
Does that FX5200 have a GPU cooler on it? My daughters does not but I set up a fan for its huge heat sink.

well done, don't try to pry it off to put a gpu cooler just in case something happens.

I don't think you will kill it, maybe a memory dump is about all I ever experienced overclocking a vid card too much. A little cooling goes a long way.

I got to 325/550 stable on my mad dog 5200 plus

I think the mad dog has a more overclockable memory.

I also had an evga and couldnt get it past like 300/430.
