Overclocking a computer is the act of forcing higher-than-stock system speeds, typically for the CPU and installed system memory. Overclocking allows you to get more performance out of your system without spending additional money, something which appeals to consumers looking at low-end motherboard models. Knowing the overclocking features for your low-end Gigabyte board can help you decide whether it is right for you.
BIOS Overclocking
Overclocking on Gigabyte boards is always available through the Advanced System Options menu in the BIOS. This menu allows advanced users to directly select and interface with any potential BIOS setting on the system.
EasyTune Novice
EasyTune is Gigabyte's overclocking program, used within the native operating system environment. EasyTune allows novice users to simply choose the level of overclocking they prefer, and automatically sets the requisite settings from within the system for them.
EasyTune Advanced
EasyTune in advanced mode provides another method of overclocking for more skilled users. This mode allows advanced users to change system BIOS settings from within the operating system as opposed to continually restarting the system to enter BIOS, providing the same level of customization without the hassle.
