LINUXGAMES

A reader pointed out that Phoronix has posted a NVIDIA CoolBits Guide, which examines the overclocking feature recently made available for Linux users:

For those unfamiliar, CoolBits is an overclocking utility for NVIDIA based cards. Support for CoolBits has been built into the Windows NVIDIA drivers for quite some time, only requiring a small registry tweak in order to enable the control window. However, CoolBits has finally made its way to Linux! In this short guide we’ll share with you how to enable CoolBits in the latest NVIDIA 1.0-7664 drivers along with our successes and failures we experienced using this new feature on a few of our machines.

As noted in the article, overclocking your graphics card can destroy it and void your warranty, so be mindful.
