Activate CoolBits 4 and 8 with the appropriate settings or configuration steps.
Run sudo nvidia-xconfig with cool-bits set to 12. If the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf section lacks a Device entry for Nvidia Card, add the specified line. Restart or reboot X afterward.

i should of been more spasific. my fans get 65%, 70 degrees consistant 1887mhz under benchmark. anywhere else about 50% fan speed, 56-ish degrees 1887 mhz graphics clock. so there definatly a small ammount room for overclock. i know nothing of overclocking, so i don't know whats safe, so could potentually go more. my gpu it says can draw 180watt power max, but it draws 90watts according to green with envy so theres even more room. if y'all can suggest a safe overclock i can try more. 1907mhz is stock, but it throttles down to 1887mhz automatically. mainly want to increase the fan curve to at least get the stock if overclocking isn't suggested. i'll screenshot when i can @Nayr438 @Alex Atkin UK
Overclocking is acceptable as long as you don’t change the voltage settings. @Alex Atkin UK’s Coolbits 28 supports voltage control, though it’s unclear if NVIDIA Bios restricts it. Sticking with Coolbits 12 should keep things stable. Regarding overclocking, I have no experience and can’t suggest anything. If Coolbits or GWE isn’t functioning, it might be a faulty NVIDIA feature or an incompatibility with your current kernel or Xorg build. While I had mixed stability results with my 1060 across updates, it could also point to issues with GWE or another driver conflict. Most applications rely on the latest driver and kernel, so updating those would be wise if you’re not already using them.
With the Coolbits setup, you can attach a Graphics and Memory Card Clock Offset or a manual fan speed setting via the NVidia Control Panel in X.
It's 13MHz, which equals about 0.7% improvement. You'd get better results by focusing on the display more intensely.
I mentioned I could overclock a lot more, but now I’m just concerned about getting my PC working again. Check out the earlier post and the screenshots—I’d love some help. A 720 x 300 resolution is too low, I really need 1080p, and someone should have fixed it for me.
