Everytime I overclock coolbits it seems to work just fine. I select "Find Optimal" and it finds a nice and steady rate for my Memory clock and 3D clock frequency settings. Although when I restart my machine the rates return to normal. I don't know how to make them stay overclocked!

P.S. The "Use these settings until I restart my computer" option is NOT on!
 
In every version of coolbits I've used, there is a checkbox to "apply these settings at startup." It's located right under the "test changes" button.

If that doesn't work, you could always just get your frequencies from coolbits and use rivatuner.

I did select the "apply these settings at startup" and it didn't seem to work. I don't know why but for some reason the overclocked settings don't seem to work.
 
does everything look like this?

Try rivatuner if coolbits is giving you problems. Just make sure that you reset everything to defaults using coolbits before you try anything with rivatuner.

Also, list what card you are using and what your optimal frequencies that are not working are.

Yes, everything looks like that to me. My card is a 7800GS AGP 8x. My optimal frequencies are... Core Clock: 516 MHz Memory Clock: 2.65 GHz.

I suppose I'll give rivatuner a shot though.
 
Yeah, I noticed this was happening to me (though sporadically) as well. I'll be giving rivatuner a shot later tonight.
 
same thing happend to me. seems i could never "save" my OC with coolbits

2.65ghz......no way man

Tell me about it! When I downloaded Rivatuner it said it was 1.8k GHz, so I suppose that's the correct timing. But for some reason it says 2.65 on Coolbits so...

No its not, If you tried running your memory on that card at 1.8 GHZ your looking one fried puppy. The default for the non overclocked 7800gs is 1.2 GHZ if yours is the BFG model then its 1.25 GHZ.

Be carefull you may have already damaged the card trying to run at those speeds.

You're right, those timings are off. I don't know why though. The memory clock is WAY OFF! I guess I could snap a screenshot and show you my settings if you'd like.

Also I used Rivatuner; set it to the optimal frequencies and it didn't like that at all.
