How safe is ASUS's automatic overclocking.

I keep seeing it advertised and I want to know how good of a job it really does. Does it push the system too far or does it play it super safe to the point where I might as well just overclock it myself? Thanks in advance.

Well it actually gives you options of how safe it should play it, such as giving you the option to set voltage limits, temp limits, or frequency limits.

I have been on the ASUS auto OC for 3 years at 4.43GHz and 1.135v with no instability issues at all.

I wouldn't recommend using it, normally the automatic tuning increases the voltage of the CPU way above it should be for the overclock.

Just read a few guides and watch Linus's overclocking guides and you''ll be fine. 

Remember with less voltage, the CPU produces less heat and will have a longer life.

Yeah, I'd recommend just manually overclock for the best results.
