Thread: CPU over clocking

So you need to quickly huh? You can go out and buy a new processor, or you can just over an hour you are existing. Well this is all well and good, once you consider a few things. One, on your processor options creates more heat, which is bad for the chip. Two, the clocking would be more likely that void any warranty you have on your hardware, not only your CPU but your motherboard. You also require thinking about the rest of your system. RAM your motherboard can handle a higher Front Side Bus, and for everything else, such as PCI and AGP bus speeds, they also increase. All and all, you only require to think before they act, and keep in mind you are not only changing one thing, you are affecting your whole system in one way or another, and you must be confident can you computer can handle it. Now with all this in mind, let's get started

You want to know how your CPU speed is found out before they increased it. Two things to find out how fast your CPU speed. Front Side Bus (FSB) is the speed in MHZ that communicates with your PC system to your left and the clock multiplier. To get the total CPU speed, multiplied by the times FSB clock multiplier, this is equal CPU speed. For example, a Celeron 300a has a 66 MHz bus speed, and a 4.5 multiplier. 66 x 4.5 = 300. 300 MHZ CPU is my speed. So, to increase the real speed of the system, we must change in both variables. Multiplier can not change, so we must change the Front Side Bus.

Changing the front side bus is extremely simple. Write your computers setup program, or BIOS. To get there, restart your PC and appear for somewhat that says "Press F2 to enter setup" or "Press DEL to enter setup." Press the key that applies, and you must end up in your BIOS. Once in, look around until you get options that permit you to modify



The highlight option in the picture is an example of what the FSB setting looks like in the BIOS. Hold on! I do not have that option in my BIOS. Ah, no big deal, that just means you jumpers in your motherboard. A waist is small metals pin that slides on two or more metal pins that almost an open circuit to set and opportunities, or to complete a task. Almost like a switch. Open your case and look at the motherboard for jumpers that permit you to locate a various FSB and a multiplier. Based on the manufacturer of the board, you can change one or the other, both or neither. To obtain a full list of what jumpers what do, check out the manufacture's web site, or look in the white writing little motherboard. If you can not get jumpers, and configure your BIOS cannot move, after that it is probable that you can not over clock your CPU. Motherboards Intel are known for not allowing long where at EpoX turn makes possibly one of the most configurable advice on the market.

It just based on what kind of equipment you contain. Of course there is one more option; It also permits more FSB speeds on various boards than you could get using the BIOS or by jumpers. However you must realization that this program is not a permanent change to your system, and it should be run each time Windows starts up; fortunately there is an option in the program to automatically load on windows startup
