• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

When you double click it, it'll add itself to the registry if you click OK.

That's all you need to do to activate CoolBits.
 
Well, once you put in the registry information all you have is the ability to oc, it doesn't do it for you.

When you open the settings for your card (right click desktop->properties->settings->advanced) there should now be a panel with clock frequencies on it. They should show stock at first. You can click the manual overclocking circle and it will allow you to use the slider to adjust the clock and memory settings. Remember that there is a 2D mode and a 3D mode, and you normally do not change the 2D settings (unless underclocking to decrease heat or noise when not gaming). You can use the button that will auto-detect the best stable oc speeds or you can try to find your own. You have to test the new speeds each time before it will let you apply them. Also make sure to check the "apply settings on restart" so the settings remain oc'ed.

Great choice on the card and good luck!
