I upgraded the Asus 61.21 drivers that came with my V9999 FX6800 card to the
62.11 drivers I found on their site. Since then, I don't seem to be able to
get reliable voltage or temp reports from SmartDoctor nor can I overclock
the core or memory. The sliders seem to work but on re-boot values are back
to default.

I tried the CoolBits registry hack to see if it would work differently but
those setting also go back to default (350,1000) after a reboot, even if I
tic the "Use these settings after re-boot" check box.

Anyone else seeing these weird conditions?

After a clean desinstall of the Asus drivers, install the reference
drivers that you want and use "Powerstrip" to set mem and core
frequencies.

After wandering 2 weeks on the web, searching for an issue to the lack
of overclocking possibilities with Asus cards out of the 53.03 and
smartdoc, I finally found out that powerstrip set frequencies at low
"hard" level, and now I can use my speeds settings with the last ref
driver 66.93.
Don't enable coolbits, each time I use the well known trick with all
the drivers from asus or nvidia, it killed my fps in every benchmarks
and games.

I dunno, I re-installed the Asus drivers and everything including
SmartDoctor started working all of a sudden and my oc settings are being
preserved after re-boot. I even was able to turn on the disabled pipes and
vertex in RivaTuner, though there's some doubt whether that actually does
anything.

I'm seeing weird stuff like that too, apparently things are getting too
complicated to expect consistant results with all combinations of hard and
software.
