I don't know how many times I can say this on this forum, it should be stickied... Ntune is NOT to be used for ANYTHING. If you go to nvidia/evga forums, everyone there will yell this... If you call evga, they will say it is the worst program ever written.... DO NOT USE NTUNE. Not for temps, not for overclocking.... ntune reset my bios, made it so it couldn't find my hdd, and has cause some issues that tech support told me can only be fixed by reflashing my bios. Sorry to be so critical, but this little program has caused me endless hours of issues.

The problem is, the program has access to settings in the bios, and any minor mistake, and it can do some damage... even after it is uninstalled. Goodluck = ) btw, I reccomend rivatuner and PC Wizard 2008 to OC and monitor your computer temps. Hope that helps

Aye, I am not sure how it reacts with non-nforce motherboard... I doubt it can hurt you like it has to a lot of people, but I also don't know if it does anything to voltage when it OC's

I feel for ya, been there done that. Did not realize it was NTUNE until a RMA board with a fresh install of XP did the same thing as the board I sent back, reset the BIOS, had to re-enable RAID in BIOS before I could boot up.

I use Rivatuner, it is essentially the all purpose program for your graphics card.

DO NOT USE NTUNE !!!! That program is GARBAGE, omg i had such big problems after i used it on my computer. Screwed my BIOS and i couldnt even do anything untill i flashed it which took me couple of weeks to figure out. IT WAS PURE HORROR.

The worst thing that happend to me while overclocking was that my FSB went too high and fried my mobo.
