Pros
No wait time
Cons
File not found. When I click "download" it loads and brings me to a white page saying, "File not found"
Summary
Maybe just get a new version of the program and update the page. Thank you!

Could do nothing with it, it did not detect my nvidia gtx460 card

Ability to adjust fan speeds worked great. Brought my temp down a few degrees C.
Cons
Is a bit finicky with standby.
Summary
Does it's job.
The best overclocking program...
Nikolas_MytisMay 3, 2009
Pros
To start, it is very simple. In addition, you can adjust the fan speed too and it is compatible with ATi video cards except for nVidia ones.
Cons
Well, it works. There is not something more we have to expect from it. Just more possibilities, in future versions.
Summary
Overclocking is the process of running a computer component at a higher clock rate. If you do not change the voltages, then there is NO danger at all. Results can be very satisfying. RivaTuner may make your old graphics card to run the game you always loved but you did not have the ability to play before.
