Overclocking software?

BWX · Sep 26, 2003, 12:45 AM

That's the question. I just got an ABIT NF7- Great board.

Here's the thing, every motherboard I've ever owned had some kind of windows based overclocking software, even 3 years ago, I worked on a POS FIC mb that had an overclocking utility. My old Gigabyte board even came with it.

Now I got this great overclocking board, but no windows based overclocking software. I probably wouldn't use it much, but it would be nice to have. I see Nvidia is coming out w/ something like that in future Nforce ware- But what about now? Is there anything out there that will work?

What's wrong with using the BIOS?

Uhh, I DO use the BIOS- Obviously. I'm just saying that a great overclocking board such as the NF7- should come w/ OC software if a measly board like my old Gigabyte GA-7DX+ had it-

Hell, my mom's old pos FIC AZ-ll has it- almost ALL motherboards have it. That's my point. It seems like an nForce 2 board should have it-

As we will soon according to this:

seen here- [URL=http://www.legionhardware.com/html/doc.php?id=261&p=3[/URL]

I'm saying that Abit should have something like this already- It would be nice to bump up my voltage and FSB to run a bench or play a game, then take it back down for normal use- all without shutting down/restarting the rig.

Hmm, thats a little odd. Why would we want our AGP bus at 100MHz?

I dunno- I think they were just showing what it could do- Who knows, maybe there is a card in the future that uses a 100mhz AGP- I'll keep mine at 66. It would be cool to have that piece of software though, or something like it.
