    Good riddance. Wish I'd done it about a year ago.

    uGuru is a *lot* more powerful than Cool N Quiet.
    Unless they have changed things, there is an entire manual included with the board explaining what uGuru is, and how to use it. Have you read it ? No? Good place to start

    Have you actually launched the program ?

    no not yet was wondering what other peoples experiences were like with it and if it was buggy etc for example if it realtime really kept up with the need for more power etc etc when overclocking? i read briefly on their site what it is but wasn't sure if it was the kind of expectation of what cool and quiet was and turned out to be a bit of a bad idea.
    does anyone use it when overclocking like have it enabled whilst their running overclocked settings?

    uGuru is quite different from Cool'n'Quiet.
    Cool'n'Quiet is meant to scale performance up & down as required by demand whereas uGuru is a suite of apps.
    AbitEQ is hardware monitoring.
    BlackBox is a diagnostic reporting tool to abit support
    FlashMenu is a Windows GUI based BIOS flashing utility
    OcGuru is an overclocking utility based around a system of preset levels (factory & user set presets).

    When it works it's excellent but it can be a bit touchy e.g. I've had it working perfectly on my AN8 Ultra for ~1 year - sold the RAM that was in it & it doesn't want to work with the replacement RAM & freezes when changing presets.
    I'm sure that I'll get it working but you need to find the sweet spot for your hardware.
