Windows based Overclocking utility
EasyTune 4 carries on the heritage so as to pave the way for future generations.
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 ex-
perts 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 automati-
cally 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" technol-
ogy 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.
