Over/Underclocking motherboards on the fly without rebooting
"Will" wrote in message ... Snipped I wonder if software overclockers that run in Windows can take into account all these parameters? CPU, Northbridge, Ram, etc. Snipped Gigabytes's Easy Tune will adjust these parameters, but there are at least two problems. 1) Easy Tune will let you push the processor speed up until you see a message to "Reboot", then you know you have overclocked too far and after rebooting the BIOS will end up back to the defaults, most BIOS changes you have made will be lost. 2) Easy Tune will increase the CPU core voltage beyond the max specified by Intel, it does this dynamically and as a result you find out after the fact that the voltage is way too high. Easy Tune does not care about temperatures. For that you either need to set BIOS limits/Warnings or use a separate utility. -- JS http://www.pagestart.com

But the first 2 points are very valid. Thanks.
