Driver 10.2 or 10.3a preview.
For overclocking and basically anything directly related to the hardware: MSI Afterburner. Just make sure to set EnableUnofficialOverclocking=1 in the program's main config file (found in installation dir). Then you can overvolt/undervolt, set fan profiles properly, etcetera

Thanks again pwerelds!
I overclocked my q6600 to 3.2 last night but it was hitting 65c up and down when I used Prime95, I need better cooling so I'm going to get some IC Diamond Paste and a Zalman CNPS 9500 AT cooler and hopefuly that does the trick.

65°C is fine - no need to worry.

Make sure your voltages are stable, and tick the "Apply overclocking on startup" thing kalato. In MSI AB, keep an eye on the graphs, see if anything is spiking. Also watch out with the memory; on my 5870 the memory is slightly flawed, which means I can't get past 1220 on the memory. On the other hand, my core is ridiculously good, as I can get it stable on 975 without a voltage increase so

So far got Core 900 and Memory 1300 without changing vcore, gpu hitting 54c/57c, good enough? Seems stable atm.
