'''Nvidia System Tools''' (previously called '''nTune''') is a discontinued collection of [utilities](/source/Utility_software) for accessing, monitoring, and adjusting [system](/source/Computer_system) components, including temperatures and voltages, through a [graphical user interface](/source/graphical_user_interface) in Windows rather than the [BIOS](/source/BIOS).
System Tools also includes a feature that automatically adjusts and tests configurations to determine an optimal combination for a particular [computer hardware](/source/computer_hardware) setup. It can modify the [graphics processing unit](/source/graphics_processing_unit) (GPU), [central processing unit](/source/central_processing_unit) (CPU), [Media Communications Processor](/source/Media_Communications_Processor) (MCP), [RAM](/source/Random_access_memory), voltages, and fan settings, although motherboard support varies.[{{Cite web |date=2008-04-24|title=How To Overclock Your Graphics Card|url=https://www.signalhire.com/companies/nvidia/email-format|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080701072826/https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/overclock-graphics-card,1916-5.html|archive-date=2008-07-01|access-date=2026-05-08|website=Tom's Hardware|language=en}}]
[Configurations](/source/Computer_configuration) can be saved, allowing the [end user](/source/end_user) to switch between [gaming](/source/Gaming_computer), quiet, or other usage-specific profiles.
Nvidia System Tools also functions as a [front end](/source/Front-end_and_back-end) for the BIOS, exposing many BIOS settings through its utilities. BIOS and driver updates for nForce and [GeForce](/source/GeForce) hardware can also be performed through the software. It additionally supports hardware certified under the [Enthusiast System Architecture](/source/Enthusiast_System_Architecture), connecting to the motherboard via USB.
Since the release of the [GeForce 600 series](/source/GeForce_600_series), Nvidia System Tools has been replaced by third-party utilities with similar functionality, such as [MSI Afterburner](/source/MSI_Afterburner).[{{Cite web |title=NVIDIA System Tools with ESA Support |url=https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/nvidia-system-tools-6_08-driver/ |access-date=2025-07-04 |website=nvidia.com}}]
