The Basics Of Over Clocking Your CPU
|
|
|
In this
article I'm going to explain the basics
of over clocking your CPU and what you
need to look out for.
I understand how difficult is to over
clock especially the CPU. Over clocking
the CPU is riddled with jargon so if you
don't understand the nerdy terms you
could be really be putting your PC in
danger.
This is because your effectively
speeding your CPU beyond the
manufacturers specifications. And
although you'll get a ton of performance
from your PC and your games will play
smoother, your CPU is under more stress
due the extra heat that the CPU will
generate.
|
So what are the terms you look out for
when you go into your Bios? Well first
of all you want to find your FSB. FSB
stands for Font Side Bus and this is
where the majority of you will be over
clocking your CPU from. There is another
way of over clocking your CPU but this
option is only available to the top of
the range CPU and these ones can cost of
excess of £1000! This way of over
clocking is by using the Multiplier.

But to me opting for a $1000 CPU tends
to defeat the point over clocking.
Anyway, once you've found your FSB
option, there should be a 3 digit number
next to it. All you do is simply move
the number up another ten points and no
more.
The reason why you move it no more than
that is you don't want to damage your
PC. So take little steps when over
clocking your CPU. Once you done that,
save and quit from bios and head into
Windows.
You now want to run at benchmark, I
would recommend on using 3DMark 05 or
06. There is others but these are the
ones I personally use. Now simply run
the benchmark and you should notice that
you have a

higher score
than what you did before you over
clocked your CPU! And that is the basics
of over clocking!!!
