Ok, so the last time I did any real video card overclocking, was when I had my GTX 8800 Ultra and back then we used CoolBits 2.0 and Forceware drivers.

Now, I have no idea how to unlock the features in the nVidia control panel to control fan and clock speeds...

Would anyone be so kind as to fill this old-timer turned noobie in on the best way to overclock a new GTX 580?
 
Hmm... I already had that since I have an MSI board, but it doesnt let me control the fans. The fan speeds still stay AUTO even when I turn on the user fan control.

Are there any other alternatives to Afterburner?
 
Hmm... that's strange. I have it enabled on my GTX 580 and it works without issue. Since you have an EVGA card, you can log into their website and download EVGA Precision, which does more or less the same thing as Afterburner.

Also, the Afterburner program that came with your board might not be the latest build. Download the one I linked and see how it goes. The last couple of betas were tweaked for the GTX 580's.
