To open the overclocking pane, click the "Show Overclocking" button at the bottom of the main screen. You'll be prompted with a warning asking if you are aware of the risk with overclocking.

You'll be prompted with a warning asking if you are aware of the risk with overclocking. Clicking "No" closes the windows. Clicking "Yes" will open the overclocking pane. Clicking the button again will hide the pane. Below is a break-down of the items on this pane: | ||
;Fan Control | |||
:The first thing you'll probably notice is a large vertical slider. This controls the Fan Speed. By default it is set to "Auto". To manually set the fan speed, uncheck "Auto" and move the slider to the desired position. Then click on "Set Fan" to lock it in. In the screenshot, the fan setting is grayed out because the shot was taken on a laptop with no fan control. Any areas you see in the pane which are grayed out is because you either don't have control of these items through the drivers or because Inspector can not control these items on your video card model. | |||
;Performance Level | |||
:This is a drop-down menu that allows you to select which performance level the NVIDIA drivers use. The performance level is normally changed dynamically by the drivers depending on the GPU load. The main levels are P0, P8, and P12; though yours may differ depending on model. P0 is for high loads such as video gaming, P8 is for loads similar to video acceleration, and P12 is an idle load. | |||
;Unlock Min & Unlock Max | |||
:The frequencies available to you be default are locked in my the NVIDIA drivers. Clicking "Unlock Min" or "Unlock Max" will removed these driver limitation so that you may overclock to higher frequencies or underclock to lower frequencies. Clicking these buttons again will relock the frequencies to the driver limitations. | |||
;GPU Clock | |||
:The GPU clock normally stays grayed out and is provided for informational purposes. This clock can be changed but not individually in Inspector. It is changed by changing the Shader Clock and also remains half the frequency of the Shader Clock. For example, if you Shader Clock is set to 1600MHz then your GPU Clock will be set to 800MHz. | |||
;Memory Clock | |||
:Measured in megahertz, this changes the frequency of the VRAM. The button below the slider allows for fine tuning of the frequency. | |||
;Shader Clock | |||
;Also measured in megahertz, like the Memory Clock, this changes the frequency of the Shader Clock. | |||
;Voltage | |||
:Here it is possible to change the voltage to which the video card receives. | |||
;Create Clocks Shortcut | |||
:This is where Inspector shines! Clicking this button will save a shortcut on your desktop to specific clock settings. These means it's possible to have different overclocks for different game profiles or other tasks. Double clicking on one of these shortcuts will adjust your clocks to the preset settings automatically so you don't have to open Inspector and do it manually every time. So if you want a 10% overclock while you're video encoding, a 25% overclock while gaming, and default settings the rest of the time, all you'd have to do is make three Clock Shortcuts and double-click the appropriate shortcut anytime you change between tasks. Easy and brilliant! | |||
;Apply Defauts | |||
:This reverts any changes to the clock back to their driver defaults. | |||
;Apply Clocks & Voltage | |||
:This applies the clock and voltage settings immediately. | |||
