Auto OC'ing

[ZeroInfinity94]

I am looking for a new mobo since I just got myself a 4670K dirt cheap and am going too run it in a secondary rig.
Thing is I really don't want too spend a lot of time OC'ing the thing so I want to use an auto overclocking tool instead.
So what board do I go for, what is the best software that comes with a motherboard to use for auto overclocking?
I will say I do really like what ASUS has done with AI Suite 3
Cheers guys.

Everyone in here will advise against using software to overclock mate

Meh I know this is going too sound really bad but I can't be bothered overclocking the chip seeing as the last Intel chip I did overclock took 9hours to get running stable due to all the fettling I had to do with the VCore and multiplier wouldn't of minded but I only get 4.2 outta it.

ok simply put the reason most are against auto oc'ing is simple the auto programs crank the volts beyond whats needed for said oc. So in a nutt shell say 4.5 @ 1.25 vcore is normal for 4670k's ( Just a number outta my arse) auto oc will do like 1.35vcore for same 4.5 or in some cases higher vcore. This is why we is against auto oc. So take the time and do it right or dont ask us for the best auto oc'n board lol research it which will most likely take the same amount of time as actually oc'n it thru bios in the first place.

You dont. If you cba to do it right then dont bother.

Also if you dont have a couple of hours I hate to say it youre either lazy or what you really mean is you dont know how.

Auto OC isn't very good at all. I used the auto OC for my AMD chip recently (AMD overdrive) as an experiment to see if it auto OCing is as bad as everyone says. Top lel it took it to 4.3ghz @1.4v (stock volts) and it wasn't stable even after it saying it was. It would need much more volts to be stable. My personal best is 4.45ghz with more voltage. Sadly I can't seem to get it past 4.3ghz now without terrible temps so I really think the auto OC damaged my chip.

basically DON'T DO IT.
