poligoon Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 I've heard people prefer O/Cing in the bios over using programs like EasyTune. I'm fairly new to O/Cing and have fooled around with both. Any input into what is better and/or easier to use would be great, also some tips/advice. I'm running an AMD 2500+ Barton, 514 DDR 400 HIS Radeon 9600 128 on a Gigabyte 7vt600.

FanATIc205 Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 bios for sure the oc stays and if windows or the program messes up it can crash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
poligoon Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 ok, what should i set the Easytune settings to??I dont want to uninstall is because i use it as a temp. monitor unless some one can recomend a better program for that. Also just looking at stuff in Sandra i get a case temp of 27(which easytunes reading match) CPU temp of 27 (ET reads 52) and and Power temp of 52.ETs cpu and Sandra Power temps match, is this just due to the differnt programs reading differnt sensors in their own way?any input?

O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 BIOS O/Cing is the only reliable way IMO And use Asus probe,motherboard monitor,etc for detecting cpu,motherboard,fans,voltages,etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 for temps, if you have an updated bios, there should be a "PC Health Status" under there. that will give you temps, voltages, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3bruts1d Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 I definatly recomend the BIOS for overclocking. As for monitoring temps and voltages, MBM works great. - Though using ANY software to read your temp will give you incorrect readings.

Molson Ice Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 when using easy tune you can just use the sensors and not have it oc the system. just right click on the task bar icon to get some options to check off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
