How to overclock the processor on the computer

To increase the performance of the computer, you can dispersed its processor. The safest way is to change the BIOS settings. Before you start to master this sphere, it is very important to study and at the time of overclocking have a manual on your hand to the motherboard. Perform the instructions should be performed clearly and consistently, self-identity can lead to deplorable results.

Let's start with the BIOS update to the latest version, for this we go to the official website of the manufacturer of our motherboard (mostly such English-speaking sites), go to the "downloads" tab, select the "BIOS" section.

Click on the "View detail" link opposite the model of the motherboard, in the page that opens, click on the diskette label opposite downloads to download the BIOS update.

Install the update, reboot the computer. To enter the BIOS, when you boot, press the "Delete" key. It is advisable to write on the sheet of paper all the current BIOS settings. First, it will clearly see what exactly we changed, and secondly, if something failed, it would be possible to return the previous positions.

Useful information for the owners of Gigabyte motherboards will be the fact that when "Ctrl + F1" is pressed, auxiliary options will appear in BIOS. We find the Advanced Bios Features / Advanced / Power Bios Features item, it depends on the type of motherboard, you can clarify in the manual. Open it and at all points "Spread Spectrum" set the value "disabled", then save by pressing the "F10", reboot the computer.

Returning to "Advanced", open the "DRAM Configuration", the MemClock memory frequency value is set to the order below the current one, for example, it was 667, then we replace it with 533mHz, save it reboot.

In BIOS We are looking for Hypertransport Frequency / HT Frequency and change the installed "Auto" on * 4 or * 3. We save changes, reboot.

In BIOS We are looking for MB Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T.) / JumperFree Configuration / μGuru Utility. In the menu that opens in the PCI-E CLOCK parameter, set "101MHz". Opposite the "CPU Voltage Control" set the voltage supplied to the default processor (this information can be viewed in the documentation for the processor or the CPU-Z program), we save and restart the BIOS.

Everything is there in "M.i.t." We find the CPU CLOCK Ratio multiplier, depending on the type of processor, will set its value in x9-x11. After that, in the CPU Frequency / CPU CLOCK / SPEED parameter, we set the calculated value for the "FSB" bus: the nominal frequency of the processor is divided into a multiplier, which has just been set, and choose the value in the point. We save the changes, reboot the BIOS.

In setting M.i.t. We begin to raise a little bit (10-15-20) FSB bus - the value of CPU Frequency. Save the BIOS and run Windows. To check whether the processor works normally, it is necessary to warm it, for this we create an archive (500mb - 1GB size), then unzip it, it should not be errors. Then we test the processor using the CPU-Z, S & M, CoreTemp or Everest program. If the tests are completed successfully, you can still raise the FSB bus and test the processor again.

You should not set all BIOS parameters immediately, you can harm the system. If there are situations that when loading the operating system, testing or games, the computer reboots, then the BIOS need a little raise the voltage value on the processor. Periodically, in overclocking, track the processor temperature using the program. At high temperatures, the performance of the processor is lost, which is why the system can fly. If necessary, it is necessary to replace the thermal colon, and possibly the cooler on the processor.
