Newbie scared to use nTune

Hey,

Have successfully built my first machine with KN1SLI. Would like to
start playing around with the tuning of the system, but all the
warnings about viodiung the warranty, yadda, yadda, scare me,
especially because I'm so new at this, so I hope to get a bit of
guidance here, and also pose some specific questions --- some of which
are . . .

1.) The Mobo box itself proclaims that it's powered by nTune (an app I
had to download, by the way, because I couldn't find it in the discs
that came with the box). However, the app itself says a bucnch of stuff
in the opener threatening dire consequences if one uses it . . . e.g.
voiding warranties etc, if you dont know how to use it (which I
don't!!!). The nVidia site doesn't really help with detailed
instructions on how to walk you through every potential minefiled. How
can I safely navigate use of this app so I can learn?

2.) One example of such a minefield, is the very first warning that
popped up after startup of nTune:

"Warning: Your PCI clock is currently set to track the HT bus. If you
adjust the clock for the HT bus, the PCI bus clock will change as well.
Please consult your motherboard manual to determine how to disable this
behavior before proceeding. NVIDIA is not responsible for data loss or
hardware damage resulting from ignoring this warning message."

I downloaded the manual so I could do a search of all the text in pdf
format. The trem HT shows up only 3 times, and no correlation to PCI is
given. What the hell do I do??

Thanks in advance!

pci clock should lock on your board. many locks take effect when you set the fsb/htt in the bios to 201. also set the ht or ldt to 4x for htt/fsb to 250(should be located in the advanced chipset settings.

i use clockgen which is basicly the same as ntune.

pll control panel gives you the current cpu freq, htt(fsb), mem fsb, pci-e and pci speeds. if you set your htt/fsb in the bios, you will notice the pci-e & pci numbers don't change as you raise the htt/fsb. raise htt 3 or 4 set then 3 or 4 more and set. if you go from 201 to 220 the rig will more than like lock and you'll have to reset the computer.

there are all kinds of oc guides. here's one:
