NVClock is a small utility that allows users to overclock NVIDIA based video cards running on the Linux platform.

The original code used in building this application was borrowed from the nvcs application. That code has been extensively reworked in order to make the utility much more user friendly and to make it play nice with current distros and drivers.

Here are some key features of "NVidiaClock":
CPUs: X86/X86-64/PPC
Operating systems: Linux/FreeBSD/Windows
Low-level Overclocking for all Nvidia cards except for the riva128/riva128zx
Additional Coolbits overclocking for GeforceFX/6/7 (desktop) cards
Pipeline modding for Geforce6 cards
Smartdimmer backlight adjustment for Geforce 6200Go based laptops
Hardware monitoring (including temperature reading, fanspeed adjustments)
I2C backend for W83L785R/MAX6659/LM99/F75375S sensors
Support for internal NV43/NV44/NV47 temperature sensor
Ability to enable disabled temperature sensors used on NV43/NV44/NV47 boards
NV-CONTROL backend for adjusting OpenGL/Display settings
Bios parsing for GeforceFX/6/7 cards
