4 Introduction

Gigabyte announces EasyTune

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. But have many users ever tried it?

The answer is probably "no". Because "Overclock"

is thought to be very difficult and includes a lot of

technical know-how, sometimes "Overclock" is

even considered as special skills found only in some

enthusiasts. But as to the experts 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. Now everything is different because of a Windows 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. Users can choose either "Easy Mode" or "Advanced 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 overclocking. This software will then overdrive CPU speed auto-

matically 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 operates in coordination with

Gigabyte motherboards. Besides, it is different from other traditional over-clocking methods, EasyTune

4 doesn't require users to change neither BIOS nor hardware switch/ jumper setting; on the other hand,

they can do "Overclock" 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, Gigabyte EasyTune 4 has already turned the "Overclock" technology toward

to a newer generation. This wonderful software is now free bundled in Gigabyte motherboard attached

in driver CD. Users may make a test drive of "EasyTune 4" to find out more amazing features by

themselves.
