Overclock" might be one of the most common is-
sues in computer field. But have many users ever
tried it? The answer is probably "no". Because
"Overclock" is thought to be very difficult and in-
cludes a lot of technical know-how, sometimes
"Overclock" is even considered as special skills
found only in some enthusiasts. But as to the experts
in "Overclock", what's the truth? They may spend
quite a lot of time and money to study, try and use
many different hardware or BIOS tools to do "Overclock". And even with these technologies, they still
learn that it's quite a risk because the safety and stability of an "Overclock" system is unknown. Now
everything is different because of a Windows based overclocking utility "EasyTune 4" --announced by
Gigabyte. This windows based utility has totally changed the gaming rule of "Overclock". This is the
first windows based overclocking utility is suitable for both normal and power users. Users can choose
either "Easy Mode" or "Advanced Mode" for overclocking at their convenience. For users who
choose "Easy Mode", they just need to click "Auto Optimize" to have autoed and immediate CPU
overclocking. This software will then overdrive CPU speed automatically with the result being shown
in the control panel. If users prefer "Overclock" by them, there is also another choice. Click "Advanced
Mode" to enjoy "sport drive" class Overclocking user interface. "Advanced Mode", allows users to
change the system bus / AGP / Memory working frequency in small increments to get ultimate system
performance. It operates in coordination with Gigabyte motherboards. Besides, it is different from other
traditional over-clocking methods, EasyTune 4 doesn't require users to change neither BIOS nor
hardware switch/ jumper setting; on the other hand, they can do "Overclock" at easy step . Therefore,
this is a safer way for "Overclock" as nothing is changed on software or hardware. If user runs
EasyTune 4 over system's limitation, the biggest lost is only to restart the computer again and the side
effect is then well controlled. Moreover, if one well-performed system speed has been tested in
EasyTune 4, user can "Save" this setting and "Load" it in next time. Obviously, Gigabyte EasyTune
4 has already turned the "Overclock" technology toward to a newer generation. This wonderful
software is now free bundled in Gigabyte motherboard attached in driver CD. Users may make a test
drive of "EasyTune 4" to find out more amazing features by themselves.
