Has anyone use the extra hidden setting on the MSI K8N Neo Platinum

I think it is shift-F2 and ALT-F3 when you are on the cell option in the bios and it gives you all the hidden features and one of then is the ATI/nvidia overclock and when it is enable it will automatically overclock your video card without haveing to use coolbits or some other overclocking software.I have a EVGA 6800Ultra and it is clocked at 425/1100 and when I enable this feature it will automantically overclock it to 446/1150. and it has others I don't know what the helll they do.

From my experience, the ATI/Nvidia overclock option caused instabilities and crashes. Of course, my card was clocked at 420/1100 before the OC option was enabled. With it disabled, everything was fine.

I saw this on another board and some people have said it solved their 5-10 second freezes in games. I am having the same problem with this new system. I first turned off AGP FW in the bios and it solved it with no overclock on the card. With FW off I can overclock the core a little but then it does the freezing again. I wanted FW on as it got much lower scores in benchmarks with it off. Someone told me to downloaded the Athlon 64 drivers and install them so I did. After that I could run FW with no overclock on the card just fine but I still couldn't overclock the 6800 core without it freezing up. I can overclock the memory higher though and I have it at 1060. If I go up to 1080 the freezes return. I wanted to try this and see if it fixed my problem because it seems like me overclocking is conflicting with that bios setting doing whatever it is doing and overclocking the card on its own.
I can't get into this option because I've got the oldest bios and Compaq did something extra to the bios where I can't upgrade with the newest MSI bios :( Damn they were doing so good with using off the shelf parts then they do this. Can't trust them as far as you can throw them, they always have to put their little mark on something ;)
