'''Coolbits''' was a Windows registry hack for Nvidia graphics cards Windows drivers, that allows tweaking features via the Nvidia driver control panel (including overclocking). There is also a Coolbits 2.0, with extra features. These features provided by Coolbits are considered expert-only and thus the reason they are normally hidden in the control panel.
Below is the main Coolbits activation entry in the registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvTweak] "CoolBits"=dword:00000003
It is also available on Unix-like systems running the X Window System by setting the "Coolbits" option to "5" in the configuration file. Using "28" instead of "5" will enable additional overclocking features.<ref>[http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/173.08/README/chapter-07.html Nvidia - Chapter 7.
