I was wondering what the Tune system feature on nTune would do to my computer. I know it would probably boost it's performance or over clock something. Is it safe and should I do it?
I can't over clock on my current motherboard for now.
Maximum it can do is overheat your computer, but even then it will just shut down.
Can you supply a little more info?
First question you need to ask yourself is: "Do I really need the extra speed?" If you are not a gamer or power user, chances are you will not notice any sort of speed boost from overclocking.
Second: Can your computer handle it?
Can you post the specs of your current system? And who it is manufactured by (or if it was built)
As a rule of thumb, I will never overclock a store bought computer, they just flat out can't handle it.
Athlon II x4 620
8500gt
2gigs ram
250W PSU
250gb hdd
win 7 home premium 64 bit
I am going to upgrade the PSU, mobo, graphics, and ram soon.
With those specs I'm surprised the system will even run at all, 250w is kind of pushing it. Judging by this article I found, you couldn't push that system any further without having it shut off due to lack of power. Your possessor uses a whole 174w under load!
Question: Are you a gamer/Power User?
Question 2: You do know that the nTune software only works on nForce motherboards correct? (You should still be able to overclock manually though)
Question 3: What is your motherboard model?

Thank you for your post cyberwarrior; I do like to play games, preferably on max settings. I have a Pegatron NARRA5 mobo at the moment.
I am getting a 5770, 650W PSU, 4gb G.skill ddr3, ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO ATX AMD motherboard, and a ROSEWILL FE-A020 Black ATX mid tower computer case all for around $400.
I'm surprised too that my computer works perfectly fine still.
