Cpu Overclocking Software tips

Why spend hundreds on computer upgrades? When you really do not have to. By overclocking your computer you can pocket some of that hard earned cash, and have a faster computer. I learned this little secret from a buddy of mine. We both had similar machines, maybe his was a little newer than mine, but that did not explain how fast his machine was. Now I dont get jealous or envy, thats just not my nature. However I did want his computer speed. I asked him, of course, how and he showed me his CPU overclocking software he had installed on his machine. Now I am old school meaning I started working on computers that had windows 93. Wow is that showing my age? However it was not until windows 98 that I really got into computers. So with that in mind I still did not know anything about overclocking. So that night when I got home I did some research. So instead of buying upgrades I decided to try and overclock my computer. Low and behold the truth set me free, my computer became faster than I had thought would happen with my measly little machine. So I am dedicating this lens to CPU overclocking. Why well how about extra cash in your pockets. I mean literally. Instead of buying upgrades and spending hundreds, you can put that in your pocket. People may be hesitant about overclocking, but really it is simple. If you know how to turn your computer on, then you can overclock. If you plan on buying a new computer dont just yet. Try to overclock your machine, it may be the best 100 bucks you kept in your pocket.

What is Overclocking?

Overclocking is the process of running a computer component at a higher clock rate.

You can purchase a low-end computer then overclock it to higher clock rates. This will save you money. You can also overclock outdated components to keep pace with new system requirements. When overclocking the focus is mainly on processors, video cards, motherboard chipsets, and ram.

-First is to ensure that the component is supplied with adequate power this is to insure that your computer operates with the new clock rate.

-Second you need to have proper cooling. When you change your computers speed through overclocking the computer runs faster, leading to running hotter.

An enthsiast can overclock their computer by either doing it maunually, upgrading their system that has overclocking built in or by using a cpu overclocking software. But either method you use you will still need to make sure your computer supports the new settings, voltage and cooling.

Why overclock or run a Cpu Overclocking software?

Cpu Overclocking may be something that was done many years ago but the fact of the matter is many of us still have older machines. So why not use a Cpu Overclocking softeware to turn that old computer into a faster new computer.

I am not saying all computers are capable of overclocking but before you go out and drop a few hundred on a new one why not try to overclock or run a cpu overclocking software. If it works wow just think what you can do with that extra cash. If it does not work atleast you tried.

Why should I use a cpu overclocking software? I can just go out and buy an updated system. That is so true, but like me I dont have the money to go out every six months and buy new hardware, not to mention a new computer.

3 ways to Overclocking Your Computer with out using CPU Overclocking Software

3 ways to Overclocking your computer without using a CPU Overclocking Software. The following 3 ways:

One- Through your Bus Speed,
Bus Speed: When increased, it makes the whole system run faster and not only the CPU. Most PC's have a speed of 66MHz or 100MHz. It defines the speed that your motherboard and other components run at.

Two- By changing the multiplier settings,
Multiplier Settings: Multipliers are located on your motherboard in the forms x1, x1.5, x2, etc%u2026 When the Bus speed is multiplied by any one of these, it results in the final processor speed. For example, if you have a bus speed of 100 and a multiplier of x5, your CPU speed is 500MHz.

Three- By changing the Bios!
BIOS: In some BIOS's you are given the option to change your CPU speed. Using this you won't even have to open your computer case. When you first boot your PC enter your BIOS and start looking for any option that allows you to change your CPU speed or voltage. If you do find it, then it's as simple as changing the number to a higher value.

Will Overclocking Destroy My Computer?

Yes Overclocking will destroy your computer if your computer is not ready. Using a CPU Overclocking Software can help eliminate some of the dangers but not all. Also before you overclock manually or use a CPU Overclocking Software there are things you can do to prepare you computer.

Cpu Overclocking and Cooling

The most important thing to make sure you have is proper cooling before you overclock your computer or run a CPU Overclocking Software. Cooling is necessary no matter what you are running. Even without overclocking or running a CPU overclocking software your computer stills needs adequate cooling.

What Do you Need for Cooling

When ever you decide you are going to overclock or run a CPU overclocking software you will need to make sure you have airflow. The airflow is from one side of the case to the other, or front to back. Simply put cool air comes in and hot air forced out. The majority of computers that get overclocked or have a cpu overclocking software running has a fan pulling air in from the back and pushing the hot air out from the front.

I prefer from back to front. The reason I prefer that is I want the coolest air crossing my cpu and major component first. My air flow set up is 3 fans pulling from the back, and 2 pushing out the front. This seems to keep my computer at a safe running temperature.

Most smaller computer cases only have one fan that sucks air in. If this is the case you may want to invest in a multi fan case or modify your old case. If money is the issue you can modify and add more fan ports.

What if all the fans dont cool enough

There are other methods to cooling your computer. If you overclock or run a cpu overclocking software on your computer and you cant cool you computer enough for a safe running temperature you may want to look into using a refrigerated cooling option. This option will really cool you cpu and allow you to overclock to extreme settings.

So when you decide to overclock or run a cpu overclocking software make sure your fan has proper air flow and as many fans as possible pulling cool air in and pushing hot air out.

Hardware manufacturers catching on to Overclocking

As stated prior overclocking is popular in the gaming community. Why is overclocking so trendy? Well the fact of the matter is Overclocking is a cheap way to speed up your computer, and make it perform better. This technique is so popular many mother board, and graphics card manufacturers are integrating overclocking into their components.

If you go and spend 300 dollars on this years mother board it will have an option to overclock. Manufacturers realize that they can sell more components to consumers if they devices have overclocking technology built in. Yes it works. It works so well a brand name computer company even created an app. This app works through wifi, and you can overclock your computer with a push from you ipod, monitor the speed, voltage, and temperature.

So what does that say about overclocking? Overclocking works, it speeds up your computer and your computer performs better. If you are planning on buying a new computer, how about giving overclocking a go. You never know you may just save a few hundred bucks. I would bet you would save close to a thousand.

Overclocking Ram

CPU Overclocking Software simplest thing to overclock

Overclocking the ram is pretty much easy. To overclock RAM just enter the BIOS and attempt to run the RAM at a higher speed than it is rated at. The fastest way is to raise the ram 10MHz over the rated speed. If the system crashes don't worry. It can be corrected easily by raising the voltage to your RAM. The vdimm can be adjusted in most BIOS. Start by raising it using the smallest increments available then test each setting. Once a setting that works is found, you can either keep it or try and raise the RAM speed a little more.

Warning: If you give the RAM too much voltage it could get fried. CPU Overclocking software advice dont push your ram to far, unless you have a back up.

Overclocking your CPU to the Extreme

extreme overclocking guide

This lens pretty much covers everything about overclocking your computer. We have learned that overclocking speeds up slow computers, and makes even outdated computers faster than most newer computers on the market. Honestly if you are still working on a windows 93 well I sure overclocking is not going to do much. If that is the case you can find some extrmely cheap computers to make you experience alot faster.

Some of you may be laughing but my grandmother bless her heart still has a computer with windows 93 on it. How is that possible well she does not do much with. She has some recipes on it, she like to quilt so she has some old quilting programs on it, and she even still uses dial up to acess the internet. I am guess sometimes old habits die hard. Or in her case she still likes outdated technology. How ever her computer does every thing she needs it to do. So why fix something that is not broken yet.

The funny thing is we all (cousins and I) pitched in and bought her a new computer a few years ago. And it went back in the box, and into her closet. "One day" she says, "I will take it out." I dont see that happening but its there when she needs it. However some of us want to catch up and bring our computers into the 21st century, but reality is we are strapped on cash, bills or too much, still saving to buy a new computer.

Thats why I bring up cpu overclocking, whether manually or with cpu overclocking software. It can literally speep up your slow computer, it can take a slow computer and make it alot faster. And the honest truth is it is not a hard process that you need to fear doing. It is a simple process. That can be done by newbies.

"Overclocking your CPU to the extreme" an easy to follow guide that teaches you how to overclock your computer. This guide is how I learned how to overclock my computer, I learned about overclocking from a buddy, well he uses a software that he paid quite a few pennies for, and another software that monitors his computer, and then another software that does something else. I think he bought software to overclock his overclocking software. Seriously why? Any how I figured it was easier and I did some searching and found fragments on the world wide web. Then I found a guy named James Scholes, and he wrote "Overclocking your Cpu to the extreme" So I bought it, alot cheaper and easier, compared to what my buddy spent on all that software, and a about a years worth of saving compared to buying a new computer or even hardware upgrades.

I am not saying this guide is your computers fix, but this guide is your fix to a slow computer that you want to make faster. And if you want to save hundreds of dollars this guide is your solution. "Extreme Overclocking"

Overclocking the Asus P8P67

 Asus P8P67Asus created another great BIOS with the built in cpu overclocking software, Overclocking the Asus P8P67 is pretty easy but can be a little scary at first. Once you get to the Bios you will come to 'EZ Mode'. Just hit escape and then select Advanced Mode for settings and options. In AI Tweaker tab you will find overclocking tools and voltages. If you've got this far and are still unsure of overclocking, the OC Tuner equals Turbo Key II switch on the actual PCB. As both of these will automatically overclock the CPU for you.

Really overclocking cant get this easy, well having someone do it for you.

Overclocking Laptops

overclocking laptopThe question is can it be done? The Answer is yes laptops can be overclocked. The problem with overclocking laptops is heat. From this lens you should have learned that overclocking you computer causes your computer to work a little bit harder, this causes more heat. For a desktop adding more fans, adding more vertilation, and even going the extreme with adding a water cooling system, can reduce the heat. Remember desktops have the room inside the case to customize however you want. With laptops there is not extra room to customize.

So the problem with overclocking your laptop is heat. There is no way to add extra fans, or more ventilation, or going the extreme and adding a water cooling system. My suggestions would be buy a cheap desktop and customize to meet your gaming needs. Or buy the expensive gaming laptops. However if you are still set on overclocking your laptop, you can try a cooling pad, such as the dual-fan Antec Notebook Cooler, Xpad Laptop Desk, or BlueLounge Cool Feet.

Some of these cooling pads can lower your laptops a few degrees. These few degrees may be enough to overclock your laptop for a game or two. However even with a cooling pad your laptop will run hotter. So if you are going to overclock watch the temperature.

How to Overclock CPu

old computerHow to overclock CPU. Though an easy process of overclocking it will depend on your cpu you have in your computer. Overclocking the processor can be done with a cpu overclocking software, overclocking utility, overclocking manually

Overclocking with a cpu overclocking software. Now there are many overclocking utilities on the web that you can down load for your computer. To use caution make sure you download the correct overclocking software that is compatible with your system.

Now if you opt out of using a overclocking utility you can overclock manually. Power down your computer and when it boots back up hit the either F1, F2, Del, ESC, or F10.

Word of caution: PC enthusiasts who attempt to increase their system's performance by raising bus speeds and increasing their CPU speed beyond the figure at which it was sold and designed to run. They also quite frequently need to raise the voltage of these devices, since they are pushing them harder, which also generates more heat. Overclocking will void your CPU warranty, could cause complete system failure requiring component replacement, and can cause random system instability. However it can be done and safely.

Got to your bios you want to Increase Motherboard Clock Speed or FSB speed in 5-10MHz increments. Reboot after each increment to ensure that the system can still boot into Windows properly. When you have reached instablity when booting go back to the last known setting that your computer booted up correctly.

Keep an eye on the processor's temperature in the BIOS. Remember that it should be under 70°C to avoid limiting the overclocking potential and triggering the processor's thermal throttling feature. You can find utilities that wil display temperature and cpu performance, this will rmain on your destop letting you keep an on things.

This how to overclock cpu post is the basics when doing a cpu overclocking. If you are uneasy about overclocking your cpu manually then do a search for the latest and greatest cpu overclocking software, I am sure you will find an overclocking utility that is compatible with you system.

If your bios is locked and you can not change setting then next look for any utility or cpu overclocking software that will allow you to overclock, I would recommend trying SoftFSB. Really if your bios will not let you change settings there is not much you can do. Usually this is with older crappy computers.

    You don't want to use software for overclocking to be honest, it's generally unstable and damaging. All my overclocking is done through the BIOS and tested to be 100% certain for over 24 hours of data crunching. My main rig I have an i7 930 running at 4.2GHz. Looking forward to next gen enthusiast boards though.
