nVidia has released a new version of nTune on the web in the form of 5.00.08.06 set. The update can be downloaded by clicking this link and weighs just over 31 megabytes. nTune allows you to easily change system settings. For example, it is possible to adjust the bus and fan speed, as well as to change the processor voltage, for example. These settings can be stored in so-called profiles, so that the system can run at full speed within a few mouse clicks. In addition, timings, fan speeds, voltages and temperatures can also be monitored using the program. nVidia’s nTune can be installed on both Windows XP and Windows XP x64, but it cannot work with motherboards with an nForce1 chipset and the chips from the server class and mobile family.
