Just my opinion, but you are not going to be as stable when overclocking in windows. It's always better to overclock in BIOS. If you must overclock in windows, try these: SysTool & clockgen. Just remember, patience is the name of the game when it comes to overclocking.

The best tools to use usually come with your motherboard. I had an Abit that came with software to overclock and my current Gigabyte motherboard also came with overclock software. I trust the motherboard software over a third-party alternative since every motherboard is different and it is best to get one that you know will work with your CPU.

Regardless, it is always best to overclock in your BIOS.

SetFSB is another software program, but it only works with certain mobos and is recommended for "advanced" users. As said, if you wanna use a software program, use the one that came with your mobo; although I do agree that entering settings in the BIOS is the best approach.

lol. Yeah, nVidia has a program called nTune for your board. If you value your components, and the data on your OS, don't use it. It's garbage.
