Hi guys , i am fairly new to the world of overclocking and i have a few questions. Is the Ai tweaker in the Asus P5N-D bios any good to use as i have pushed it to a 5% overclock but dont wanna go any higher. I know it is a bit of a cheat to use it but i dont wanna fry my cpu..

Cheers

First,Welcome to OCN

otherwise
idk about the tools,i just kno its sad taht u dont want to OC more on such a goldne OCing board,

id say get urself a new cooler,(xigmatek dark knight for 39) and start OCing more and more
u wont fry ur CPU unless u just up ur voltages which is not recommenden too much or OC w stock heatsink
but id go get a new cooler and OC way more then 5% plz




and please fill out system specs for us to know wat other components u own

Welcome!
I have this board as well and unfortunately (for me) it's an uphill battle to overclock.

The auto overclock option (5%-20% oc's) is fine, but it adjusts the voltages on ratio automatically with the percentages so it's bound to overvolt you processor.

Adjust the fsb and vcore yourself and you'll get more stable, cooler overclocks.
