ootan Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) i am getting an i7 920 for my new computer and planning to overclock on an asus p6t deluxe v2. I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to overclock it in the OS with turboV for easy access to stress tests, and when i get something stable that meets my goal to write down what i did and do it in the bios.

scr4wl Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 I only overclock from BIOS so I don't actually know how the in windows overclocking tools work. I'd imagine that you still have to restart anyway though. I'd say if you want to do it the right way just overclock through the BIOS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeeWee90 Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Trying to overclock my board with the tools that Gigabyte provided only makes it BSOD... I don't know, maybe ASUS works better, let us know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 There's nothing wrong with software OCing. When people rant and rave about how bad software OCing is, they're usually only basing it on hearsay. Software OCing can save a LOT of time and effort in the initial OC testing stages on a new rig. The MOST IMPORTANT thing though is that you only use software if you understand it. If you've never OC'd before, software is probably not for you. Once you've done it a few times and you know the ropes, then it makes sense to skip the intermediate steps and get right down to business, but if it's your first time, skipping steps and hurrying can do a lot more harm than good.

Verran Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 If you've never OC'd before, then you need to do a LOT of reading before you try anything, and you should certainly not be using software programs to do your OCing. Start reading the guides around here and take things slow. Don't change ANY settings until you understand what they are and what they do.

ccokeman Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 OCIng from within windows will give you an idea where your rig can run stable. It lets you try things on the fly and as long as you dont go to crazy you can get a good baseline without goofing around in BIOS. I prefer to OC from within the BIOS because you can get the same feedback if the computer does not like something before you make it to the OS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dariuas Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Its a SLOW process to OC from Windows. The TubroV tool that comes with the Asus board allows for VERY MINIMAL changes at one time. You can go lie .02v for Voltages. The AI Tweaker in the ASUS P6T Deluxe BIOS is the best way to OC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i was wondering how well the domino A.L.C works Edited June 29, 2009 by ootan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
