Out of touch - overclocking vista and nvidia?

[Metalface Mark]

Can this be done guys? Ive bought my first desktop in a year and have reverted to noob status after being on laptops for so long.

I have a 8800GTS on vista home premium, any way to overclock other than by reflashing the bios?

Ntune from the Nvidia site or the latest Riva Tuner.

AFAIK, you can get Rivertuner to apply the overclock as the PC boots, so technically yes. I haven't used Rivertuner since OCing my 9800 a few years ago, but it worked fine then.

but, stupid windows defender decides to block it at startup.

Ntune worked at startup on XP but when I upgraded to Vista Premium it stopped and the Test option disappeared on the GPU overclocking part on Ntune. Using 158.42 driver that is still Beta so not sure if its that.
