nTune.. the ultimate OC utility!?

Cristos · 3rd Feb 2006, 11:59 PM

Hi All!

This is my first call for help in here. I´ve run a cross the ultimate OC utility..I think??
Is there anyone who have try´d this little thing out yet?

nTune .. NVIDIA nTune Performance Application ( http://www.nvidia.com/object/sysutility.html ) It gives you three option.. Quick, Complete and Expert for an Performance update. The first takes 15 minutes, the second takes an hour and the third takes the whole day.

Can I trust this thing or should I just delete it??

It's been known to kill motherboards and even though DFI have it on all their mobo CDs, they advise not to use it. At least at DFI-Street they do.

I'd delete it although I use it to monitor my temps. But I'd never use it to OC my rig.

well thank you.. I´ll thought so too. It´s to good to be true. There is no short cuts here. I´ll have to go the hard way as everybody else.

I have never trusted automatic overclocking software/functions..

I'd rather trust the BIOS and good ol common sense to get things done. It's kind of obvious running 260 on a dual core with stock cooling at 1.7 is stupid, but a program might not know that. XD

Manual overclocking... The ONLY way to OC...

Where's the fun in overclocking if you don't do it yourself?
