Vista better OS for OC'ing?

[unozero]

on XP I couldn't go over 2.7Ghz on my AMD9950
now that I installed Vista it's running flawlessly on 2.9Ghz
not to mention my new gtx260 thats was running at 620Mhz and now at now at 730Mhz thanks to Rivatuner!:bounce:

OC-ing is usually hardware/BIOS settings, I don't think it makes any difference on which OS you are using to be OC-ed stable.

I don't know what I just said, but my point is: OS does not play any role on OC-ing.

Good Luck.

Yep, there's no direct relation between the two.

vista may just be reading it differently.. if your trying to overclock your cpu via windows GUI application.. dont do that.. i hear its nothing but bad news.

100% agreed:
Do Not do any hardware setting through OS: Most of the time, it is a bad idea.
Also you won't have BIOS protection: Like when you over-volt components, and do other "No! No!" stuff, and BIOS won't post as result? Yeah, that's gone.

Good Luck.
