overclocking

Gazz · 21st January 2006, 12:16 AM

how do I do it? or is it not that simple? (to my processor)

depends on your Spec, but the best place to start is in the bios.

hit del on bootup and then see if there's options for setting the FSB and CPU multiplier, the easiest way to overclock is to make sure you have enough cooling and then bump up the FSB a bit or maybe take it down a bit and put the multiplier up. Have a look at RAM timings too. (This is what I did - AMD user)

Really though, I'd recommend reading up on it a bit first. Try the forums on Overclockers.co.uk - there's a huge ammount of information there.

lol, it was just to boost my processor a little bit (2.6GHz) but yeah i'll have a read, cheers

i dont know anything about pentiums and if you're on 2.6GHz, it's almost certainly a pentium.

Intel Celeron, not the best but it does.

Celerons have a reputation for being excellently overclocked, but tbh 2.6Ghz is not too bad. either way, like tom said, ask an intel user, i'm on an AMD machine also so we'd no doubt blow up your PC
