is nTune a good OC program?

[chrissss]

I just got my 8800GT, and I installed nTUNE, so I could overclock it.

Now in the options it will allow me to even overclock my cpu. Is this a goop program, or is it dangerous for your cpu.

I have a E6600 on a Asus P5N-E SLI NF650i SLi mobo with an arctic cooler pro7

can I use this program to get my cpu to 3 ghz?

I would use either AtiTool or better yet Rivatuner. Not really had any experience with nTune.

I would never use a program in Windows to overclock your CPU though. Always use the BIOS.

damn

I was hoping I could Overclock my E6600 with this program

For my GPU I now use Expertool, after Riva not working on the 169 drivers. Cant see the point now in going back.

Bios all the way,

New version of Riva works with 169.xx

Ntune = cack

I use ntune to control my Zalman cooler sat on my 7900 and ATItools for the overclock.

Always use the bios for other overclocks, especially your CPU.

Never use Ntune to overclock a cpu.

Never use Ntune to overclock a cpu.

Ntune can be useful to o/c a graphic card but as sammie377 mentions not to o/c a cpu

the new revatuner works on the 169.xx drivers

 

[chrissss]

yeah but bios is hard for a overclock noob like me

this would be super easy.
