|  Windows-based OC programs Is there any difference or drawbacks to OCing with a Windows-based program such as nVidia nTune? Is it really easier to OC with those type of programs?   |

| Re: Windows-based OC programs Bios overclocking is the way to go. With my Asus A8N-E motherboard I was only able to get a 10% overclock using the Asus software program. However when I overclocked in the bios I was able to get 25% easily. |
