I've been told that Easytune is better for overclocking than changing settings manuall in the bios for Gigabyte boards, is there something similar for Asus boards (is it even true that easytune would give better overclocking results compared to BIOS?)
 
booting puts loads of stress on the cpu. If going for records then best to use easytune post boot. On my old gigabyte board I could boot at 4.6Ghz with myq9650 and then use easytune to get to 4.9Ghz. Anthing set in bios above 4.6 would mean windows didn;t boot.

So ignore using easytune unless you are going for records.

I know have an Asus board plus i7 and then same applies. Boots at 4,6Ghz and can get to 4.9 using Asus turbo. I can;t boot at any of of the settings which Asus turbo uses

Asus have an overclocking utility called turbo, ive never personally used it as im still wary of operating system based utilitys, i prefer to use the bios.
 
Is using the Asus overclocking utility less stable than setting in the BIOS? Had my 920 @ 4ghz with 1.275vcore, can't remember the rest of the settings, got them written down somewhere.

Nowadays I'm at 3.82ghz with 1.225vcore (i think), previously i had it at 1.2
And sometimes still get BSOD's (pretty sure it's my overclock and nothing else)

Q F T.

If however you are looking for a 24/7 stable overclock then nothing beats BIOS overclocking.
 
I have used the ASUS Turbo Evo that came with my Crosshair IV mobo.

It clocked my 965 x4 chip to -

I have prime tested this for 8 hours and it has caused me no problems in the 7 weeks I have been running it.

Makes overclocking for noobs like me a doddle. :)

When I was running an AMD set up, I used the Turbo program to overclock my 955. Then I would go into the bios, lower the volts and then pump the overclock that little bit more.
 
easytune is carp it gives huge DPC latency spikes every few seconds

monitor your comp with dpc latency monitor then kill easytune
 
I used Asus evo yesterday 1st time as i always bios o/c nothing major 4.2 in windows, it froze my pc rebooted and wiped my bios out to default :mad: never did that when i pushed it via bios to 4.4

this is true, however it hasn't caused me any issues.

i only use it to set fan thresholds for the cpu header, which it does the job fine.
