I was searching around Google Images when I found a photo that had a Overclocking feature built into Nvidia-Settings and was utterly shocked. So I went and found out how. After a few minutes searching I found out how!

First, back up your xorg.conf then edit it by adding the following line in "Section "Device"
Code:

Option  "Coolbits"      "1"


So it should look similar to this..
Code:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    Option  "Coolbits"      "1"
EndSection


Restart X and open Nvidia-Settings and you to should now have Overclocking feature built-in!

w00t! No more need for NvClock!

Severely offtopic, I know, but in addition to your cropped background from digital blasphemy, what's your WM (or DE)? Looks kinda like Fluxbox + conky/gkrellm decorations.
