Automatically Tune Performance and Adjust Custom Rules
Complete
The Complete tuning option tunes your system automatically and takes
approximately 3 hours.
The process involves adjusting (where applicable) the FSB, Memory bus, AGP bus,
PCI-E bus, GPU Core clock, GPU Memory bus, memory timing registers, and
hardware-specific performance tuning registers.
The Complete process creates the same default and best system files as does the
Quick process, but the process is more complex so it may require additional cycles.
Custom
The Custom option lets you control the tuning process.
Running the Tune Process
Important: All dynamic overclocking features in the BIOS must be disabled before tuning.

This method uses the memory benchmark to perform an iterative process to
determine which settings provide the best memory performance. This is done
without consideration of the other performance areas.
• PCI-E Only
This method uses the graphics benchmark to perform an iterative process to
determine which settings provide the best PCI-E performance. This is done
without consideration of the other performance areas.
