So check it, I figure around 1pm ill do a 3 hour Tune with nTune, 3 hours, so probably done round 5 (probably off by 2 hours I guess)

I figured id do this to squeeze some performance out, as because last time I tried to dl nTune it didnt work, SP1 probably works now, I thought


So anyway I start tuning round 1pm, it crashes, the usual. But what REALLY started pissing me off was when It hung there it didnt restard, and when it BSOD'd it wouldnt restart, so i had to come back and manually restart every 15 minutes...

this shit took FOR EVER. I havent had my computer ALL DAY. its 1:18am right now, I just stopped the tune about 20 minutes ago, I figured, "Oh well, it still has 40 FUCKING MINUTES, but Ill get what I can out of it, its not perfect but its something..."

Boy was I fucking wrong. I pressed stop, it froze for a second and it didnt even save, it didnt log any progress or save anything, the last 11.5 hours of my weekend were WASTED, every 15 minutes getting up and resetting. WASTED.


So, how can I streamline this? I mean for some crap reason, nTune starts like 5 minutes after my computer starts, and when it hangs and BSOD's It doesnt auto-restart


Id love to press Tune, leave my house for 4.5 hours, come back and have it be done, because screw sitting here restarting for 5 hours after I wasted all that time.

nTune the epic fail. Now you know better.

EDIT: Seriously, stay away from it. It is the biggest problem maker you'll find.

I used it before for a long while, and it didnt cause me problems...


I figured today it was what I knew worked* and why not just get a squeeze out of performance


Recommend another program? Im deathly afraid of manual overclock because I wasnt paying attention and ended up frying board/processor (shit processor anyway)

Well you can try ATItool.... i found it better than nTune...

but really manual over clockign is fine... follow freezer's guide on rivatuner and you will be fine... also what card do you have?

It got insta-stickied for a reason
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

What Havok said five days ago seems good.
