 2 | ## The Guide Part 1
 3 | First enable cool-bits
 4 | ```
 5 | sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28
 6 | ```
 7 | Next we will edit the xorg config file
 8 | ```
 9 | sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
10 | ```
11 | Scroll down till you find Section "Screen"
12 | ```
13 | Section "Screen"
14 |     Identifier     "Screen0"
15 |     Device         "Device0"
16 |     Monitor        "Monitor0"
17 |     DefaultDepth    24
18 |     Option         "Coolbits" "28"
19 |     SubSection     "Display"
20 |         Depth       24
21 |     EndSubSection
22 | EndSection
23 | ```
24 | Add this line under [Option         "Coolbits" "28"]
25 | ```
26 | Option         "RegistryDwords" "PowerMizerEnable=0x1; PerfLevelSrc=0x2222; PowerMizerDefaultAC=0x1"
27 | ```
28 | So it looks like this 
29 | ```
30 | Section "ScreeSection "Screen"
31 |     Identifier     "Screen0"SectioSection "Screen"
32 |     Identifier     "Screen0"
33 |     Device         "Device0"
34 |     Monitor        "Monitor0"
35 |     DefaultDepth    24
36 |     Option         "Coolbits" "28"
37 |     Option         "RegistryDwords" "PowerMizerEnable=0x1; PerfLevelSrc=0x2222; PowerMizerDefaultAC=0x1"
38 |     SubSection     "Display"
39 |         Depth       24
40 |     EndSubSection
41 | EndSection
42 | ```
43 | Once done reboot.
44 | 
45 | ## The Guide Part 2
46 | 
47 | Next lets create a overclocking script to overclock our gpu automatically
48 | 
49 | The number "#1" has to be the same and number "#" can be any number. Make sure those numbers match in the NVIDIA X Server Settings.
50 | ```
51 | sudo nano /usr/bin/overclock.sh
52 | !/bin/bash
53 | nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:0]/GPUGraphicsClockOffset[1]=#'
54 | 
55 | nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:0]/GPUGraphicsMemoryOffset[1]=#1'
56 | 
57 | nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:0]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[1]=#1'
58 | 
59 | nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState=1'
60 | 
61 | nvidia-settings -a '[fan:0]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=#'
62 | ```
63 | Next make it executable
64 | ```
65 | sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/overclock.sh
66 | ```
67 | And add it to startup for XFCE its in Application>Settings>Settings Manager>Session and Startup>Application Autostart
68 | Then click on Add. Give it a name, desciption and in command type 
69 | ```
70 | bash /usr/bin/overclock.sh
71 | ```
72 | That will automatically overclock your GPU at startup.
73 | 
74 | To make sure it works reboot for the last and final time and enjoy your overclocked GPU.
