    Powerstrip Question

    If you install powerstrip, change your video card clock speeds, then uninstall powerstrip and delete it's old directory, does the overclock stay?

    Well, back when I ran on an MX I went nuts with Riva Tuner and Powerstrip, which both have low-level OCing. Never logged the result, although I probably did test it along the way. My GF4 reads horribly underclcked with the older versions I have right, now or it's reading SDR. Personally I doubt it, I'll try when my screen stops turning psychedelic colours on me every time I try. It is a bypass directly to the PPLs, but I doubt it's not operated by some created registry entry which is usually deleted when uninstalling. Cheap and safe video flashing method in mind eh?

    Correct. If you try to uninstall via add/remove progs, you will probably be prompted a message saying that a specific .dll file (deskps.dll or something) cannot be erased because it is currently in use. So I tried to just delete the folder and then restart. After that I checked RT to see if the LL OC was still active and it had returned back to default.
