I tend to frown upon hardware companies releasing software as they tend to be terribly executed. However, lately I've been proven wrong. This particular bit of software, iTracker, could use a different GUI but it is rather useful. iTracker lets the user adjust GPU and GDDR5 voltages, monitor video card and system values, and configure temperature warning.

The above images show the fastest configuration, the Gaming Mode, and the maximum values available with the user defined configuration. The values they give you to work with are impressive for the voltages but quite limiting with the frequencies; 1200MHz core and 1300MHz memory would have been very nice to see.

The above menus are all the system health monitoring options. The values present are quite useful such as the video card's power consumption, temps, and voltages.
