Default Overclocking tools you use?

I have here some tools like cpu-z gpu-z and memtest. All the overclocking is done on the Bios. What tools or apps you can recommend?

Nice apps you got there. I get pestered by prime95 everytime. Errors came from my ramsticks and can't seem to handle even a 200mhz OC.

For NVDIA and ATI Video cards, I suggest you use ATITools utility, which is designed for these cards.

For my BIOS editor, I use NVIDIA BIOS Editor. It is good and advisable for NVIDIA designed processors.

For GPU Tweaking utility, I use a tool called Rive Tuner, which was advised by a friend of mine.

You can do what is called passive heat sinking, whereby, you attach a block of machined metal to the part that needs cooling.
