Overclocking MSI FX5600

I've heard about programs that overclock ATI 9800's and other cards, but is there any program to overclock my FX5600? I can't overclock it in CMOS.

Coolbits Registry hack is what we usually use.

You can grab Coolbits Here.

It will enable an overclocking feature that is already included with NVidia drivers.

I tried downloading it and it just said:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvTweak]
"CoolBits"=dword:00000003

Yes, that is correct. All you are downloading is a text file with a .reg extension instead of .txt. So right click on the link if it is giving you trouble and click "save target as.."... then just save it to your favorite location. Once it is on your hard drive, double click on the file and windows will ask you if you want to add this stuff to your system's registry... and tell it yes.

Then, when you right click on your desktop and select properties, settings, advanced, then click the GeForce XXX tab, you will now see an overclocking category. This is the best way to overclock NVidia graphic cards because it uses the built in, but disabled, overclocking utility with in the NVidia graphics driver.

Hope this explains the gibberish you got when you clicked on that link. Let me know if I need to clear anything else up.
