I have decided to have bash at overclocking once I have built my system into my new P182 case.

I have been looking at the Easy Tune program and it seems to do everything. Just want to know people's opinions on the program and if its any good.

As Snapshot says, it is not much cop (infact no cop at all)....if you want to O/C, manually set the values in the BIOS. :)
 
i used it to increase the vDIMM by .1v and it caused an instant bluescreen. overclocking in windows? dont.
 
I used it with my 965P-DS4 for the initial part of overclocking with no problems. Ended up just using the bios after that, nothing can really replace it no matter how har dthey try.
 
using vista 64 it's the only cpu temp monitor i've found that works so it has it's uses. anyone know if the DS3R(F2 bios) mobos under reports the temps? the cpu is sitting at 21 idle, using the fan on the cpu cooler ,it's set to low!!! something must be reading wrong here.
 
well, overclocking from windows is actually the way probably 99% of the best overclockers get their highest overclocks, in general a pain for 24.7 overclocking, but not for benching.

the fsb you can boot, and the fsb you can get after getting into windows can be pretty different.

the tool is a pain, it tends to crash the first time you open it(in vista 64 at least) but opens fine, only really does the crashing thing at high overclocks. once its on i find it just as good as clockgen for fsb clocking, and increasing voltages and stuff. not done any messing with fan speeds as never have fans hooked up to mobo. temps, some power monitoring and what not all work fine, though stupidly set up, monitoring can't be in task tray, or a little app, the rest of the app is unaccessible while the hardware monitoring window is up.

as for no testing or time making, worked for me before a lot of other applications had working drivers for 64 bit vista, so they get credit for that.

it has some interesting quirks, but is general as good as anything else for windows overclocking.
