nTune SUX!!!

[mgcook]

Long story, short:

I went to OC my processor to 2.7Ghz

I got the stuff going in the BIOS. But it kept freezing when windows loaded. So I knock it down to 2.6GHz. Windows loads, but only for about 5mins then freezes. I kick it back down to 2.46GHz. Enough to try and download Orthos. I get it downloaded and go to install it, and it keeps popping up a window that my stock settings have been loaded. nTune kept trying to load the "stock" settings the whole time.

So I uninstalled it. Im at 3.0Ghz right now running orthos for the last hour just fine. I upped the voltage to 1.2475. Auto was like 1.2125.

I'll kick it back down to stock and run 3D06 after i run this overnight to see if nTune was making a difference or not in my score.

Oh yeah. I got the memory timings a 4-4-4-12 like they should be with a 2.2V voltage.

Oh yeah. My temps are 48,48,45,42 on 3.0GHz

Good/Bad??

Must be specific to the 680i. Or possibly even Intel based systems.

It works just fine on my C51XEM2AA (Nforce 590 SLI), with my 6000+

it worked fine until i went to overclock...it kept trying to load the default settings each time

i could never get decent overclocks of my 7900gs' with ntune.
never really tried to oc the cpu or change any of the mobo settings with it, tho...
