Easy Tune TM 4 Introduction
Gigabyte announces EasyTune TM 4 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 issues in computer field. B ut have many users ever
tried it? The answ er is probably " no". Because
"Ov erclock" is thought to be very difficult and in-
cludes a lot of technical know-how , sometimes
"Ov erclock" 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. N ow every thing is different because of a Win-
dows 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. U sers can choose either "Easy Mode" or "Ad-
vanced 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 ov erclocking. This software will
then overdrive CP U speed automatically 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 oper-
ates in coordination with Gigabyte motherboards. Besides, it is different from other traditional over-
clocking methods, EasyTune 4 doesn't require users to change neither B IOS nor hardware sw itch/
jumper setting; on the other hand, they can do "Ov erclock" 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, Gigaby te EasyTune 4 has already
turned the "Overclock" technology toward to a newer generation. This w onderful software is now
free bundled in Gigabyte motherboard attached in driver C D. Users may make a test drive of
"Easy Tune 4" to find out more amazing features by themselves.
