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!!!
