I recently built my new rig and realized that the nVidia Control Panel isn't what it should be. I should be able to make adjustments to components and overclocking settings according to the nvidia website. I have all the latest drivers for all my components. My board, CPU, and GPU are all definitly ESA-certified. I've even downloaded the sofware from the site and it's a newer version, but it still doesnt have the component monitoring. Maybe my BIOS doesnt support it, but on a 780i? Come on. Any help or some guidance is appreciated. Thanks.

I've heard of ntune, but their site doesn't really make it easily accessed. Thanks for the link.

After downloading and installing ntune onto my rig, (see below), i've decided to uninstall it. Maybe it has something to do with 64bit, but I kept getting BSOD's when trying to use it. I got online and read up on it and it seems to be a very unstable program with many others also. They were having all the same problems I was. I was told to use RivaTune, and Everest. Are these any good?

Patio: Yeah I know. Not only did I go with Vista, but I also got the 64bit version. I'll give it time.
fpsmitch: When I first installed it, my graphics were affected so that my desktop icons were not the right colors and there was what looked like a 2 year old's handy work with red paint all over my desktop wallpaper. After I got rid of that, I went to use the ntune component monitor and I got a BSOD. Then I went to open ntune and got another BSOD.
