What do people use once frequencies are unlocked?

Hi

After some great help from Aliveandead86, Frozenlord and Zzpulp, I finally had a go at flashing my BIOS on my Dell 9400/e1705 (7900 GS GO) to a frequency unlocked BIOS "Juan's 790GSUON.ROM"

I thought I might learn my limits by tweaking my clocks within Win Xp using Nvidia System Utilities, then once I have found what I like, I might write a BIOS with what I like.

The problem with Nvidia System Utilities is that any overclock I set seems to fail during the test therefore I can't save my changes. The "optimal frequencies" are below the Factory Settings! The funny thing is, even if I change from Factory Default Clocks to Custom Clocks and actually input the original factory settings (375 core and 507 memory), it still fails :)

If it helps, I'm currently using Dox's 185.68 driver.

This is really annoying me, so I was wondering what other software you guys use. I've heard things like Rivatuner and atitools. What do you prefer?

Thanks

RivaTuner, Power user tab, RivaTuner\Overclocking\Global, DisableClockTest, set to 1.

You will probably find that you wont be able to overclock it... Without Bios flashing my 7900 GSX (GS with a GTX bios) I need to use ati tool to do the core, and nvidia system tools to the memory... I cant use one for both, same with RivaTuner, just does the core, not the memory... Soon as I touch the memory, it jumps to 200 and sticks there.

The 185.68 was one of the newer drivers that no current "unlock mask" worked for. I made an even newer one that works for that driver but it has problems with powermizer. If you are interested, I can give you the rom but I would just recommend you using the 175.32.
