Does nVidia's "nTune" really work?

[Chevy-SS]

I installed "nTune" and it has an option where it will automatically OC your system for you.

Does it work? Which option should I use?

Here's a pic -

No it doesn't work, well it works but somehow...

I had my Brisbane to 2.9 on stock volts from 1.9, I was just counting the seconds until BSOD. I also think it was touching my voltage, it had to of.....
I stick to BIOS OCing.

I had no fun using nTune so went back to using ClockGen and manually overclocked.
The auto overclock in nTune is pretty rubbish anyway.

ClockGen is the best tool on AMD NForce boards for changing CPU speed in Windows (while I run Stress Prime 2004 on both cores).
It makes finding your max CPU speed soooo much quicker.

In case you are wondering, I run Prime 2004 while changing the clocks to keep the CPUs heat high and dont suffer any Windows crashes except very occasionally when the CPU exceeds its limit a bit too far.

Be sure to not have any other programs running while speed testing that can leave files open for writing.
A crash can corrupt open files that are being written to.
I have found no ill effects from speed test crashes when my basic system programs are running.
ie Firewall, AV, HIPS, anti spyware utils etc are running and dont suffer damage.

To be absolutely safe, disconnect from the internet so no updates occur while testing.
