Hi, I have a MSI 990fxa-gd80 mainboard; and is a button on that for auto overclocking.

is it safe to use this button without any settings?

and other my hardwares are: CPU: 8150fx with liquid fan, RAM: dual 16gig, VGA: NVIDIA gtx 570, Power AC bell 570W.

"Safe" varies from person to person. Auto overclocks tend to use more voltage than needed. I don't use them for this reason.

If you are comfortable with adjusting voltages, you could use the auto overclock as a starting point and back the voltage down from there.

If not, just avoid the auto OC.
