Asus's TurboV Auto Tune Feature

[snakyjake]

Is the "auto tune" feature worth much? I don't know much about OC, nor do I want to spend time learning it or frying my a new system. Not looking to push the system to the peak, but anything that gets me more speed is good. Auto Tune sounds like a great feature, but is it worth it or just marketing junk? How does it compare to Gigabytes "Faster, Turbo, Twin Turbo"?

What about the Turbo Key? I'm assuming it would be nice to shift OC gears without rebooting. It would be nice to run turbo when I need a short term boost, then switch back down when going faster isn't as crucial as reliability/cooling.

I've been comparing this to the Gigabyte software, and so far Asus has these two features that are making me want to by Asus over Gigabyte.

Thanks,

Jake

Gigabyte has auto overclock software as well, although I wouldn't bother with either one. Just OC in the BIOS. If you are getting AMD, use something like phenomMsrtweaker to change voltages/clockspeeds in windows.
