nvidia n-tune?

Question

i am just mid way through on my spare p.c using n-tune to do a fine tune(approx 3 hours)
has anyone ever used this utility before,i have 2 hours to go and allready its increased my f.s.b from 133mhz to 141mhz and the agp from 66mhz to 72 mhz
its also changed memory timings
however i must admit i,m the biggest anti-overclocking p.c user,but what i like about n-tune is its stable enviroment,and its designed by the nvidia...need i say more
any views on ntune guys!

Answer 1

I am not a fan of overclocking as it shrtens the processor's lifespan and can cause memory to burn out, my friend had the same board i had and he set it to the seargent, option it died 4 month's later killing everything elce with it. But if your a fan of over clocking then who's to stop you.

Answer 2

Well I have done a lot of overclocking, and I am personally not a big fan of nTune. First off, I would not recommend changing the AGP speed, that is not going to give you a real noticeable performance boost, and you are asking for stability trouble. The biggest thing I dislike about nTune is that it can give you false reading on your frequencies some times, although I don't think that is happening in your case. If feel comfortable with it then go ahead and go with it, but I am personally a big believer in using the BIOS and doing your own stability tests, such as Orthos or Prime 95.
