Windows overdrive utility

“Overdrive” might be one of the most common issues in computer field. But have many users ever tried it? The answer is probably “no”. Because “overdrive” is thought to be very difficult and includes a lot of technical know-how, sometimes “overdrive” is even considered as special skills found only in some enthusiasts.

But as to the experts in “overdrive”, what’s the truth? They may spend quite a lot of time and money to study, try and use many different hardware and software tools to do “overdrive”. And even with these technologies, they still learn that it’s quite a risk because the safety and stability of an “overdrive“ system is unknown.

Now everything is different because of a Windows overdrive utility EasyTuneIII--announced by Gigabyte. This utility has totally changed the gaming rule of “overdrive”. This is the first overdrive utility suitable for both normal and power users. Users can choose either “Easy Mode” or “Advanced Mode” to run “overdrive” at their convenience. For users who choose “Easy Mode”, they just need to click “Auto Optimize” to have auto and immediate CPU overclocking. This software will then overdrive CPU speed automatically with the result being shown in the control panel. If someone prefers to “overdrive” by oneself, there is also another choice. Click “Advanced Mode” to enjoy “sport drive” class overclocking. In “Advanced Mode”, one can change the system bus speed in small increments to get ultimate system performance. And no matter which mainboard is used, if it’s a Gigabyte’s product*, EasyTuneIII helps to perform the best of system.

Besides, different from other traditional over-clocking methods, EasyTuneIII doesn’t require users to change neither BIOS nor hardware switch/ jumper setting; on the other hand, they can do “overdrive” at only one click. Therefore, this is a safer way for “overdrive” as nothing is changed on software or hardware. If user runs EasyTuneIII 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 been tested in EasyTuneIII, user can “Save” this bus speed and “Load” it in next time. Obviously, Gigabyte EasyTuneIII has already turned the “overdrive” technology toward to a newer generation.
