Often , computer power is not enough. The solution to this problem is to replace components with more modern ones. But in some cases, you can do without updating computer devices. For example, the central processor can be overclocked by increasing its clock frequency, as a result, and speed. How to overclock the processor without consequences?
An interesting question that many probably asked, and especially gamers. You need to understand that, while overclocking the device, you fully assume responsibility for this action. Using it in an emergency mode is not provided by the manufacturer, this can lead to a complete failure of the device. If you are ready for such possible consequences, then welcome to the world of overlocking.
Overlocking - an increase in the nominal characteristics of the device, which increases the overall performance of the computer. When overclocking the processor, as a rule, the coefficient of the multiplier, voltage and frequency increases. In order for the device to work for a longer time, manufacturers reduce its power - they leave a margin of about 30 percent. That is, if we take specific numbers as an example, it looks like this: a processor with a clock frequency of 1.8 GHz can be overclocked to 2.8 GHz without harming it. Naturally, there are no guarantees, all overclocking manipulations are not provided by manufacturers.
How to overclock the processor?
The main characteristic indicating the speed of the central processor is the clock frequency. It is calculated by multiplying the FSB bus frequency by a factor. To overclock the processor, we recommend using the BIOS features. This option is the most stable.
In the recent past, when processors did not have high-quality protection against various factors, a change in the multiplier coefficient sometimes led to the burning of the device. Today's processors have a number of limitations and various kinds of protection that will not allow the overlocker to overdo it with overclocking.
To change the bus frequency, in BIOS it is necessary to find the value of CPU Clock. In the window that opens, enter the frequency. To increase the processor clock speed , you can change the value of the multiplier located in the CPU Ratio column. How to overclock the processor more efficiently? Remember that it is necessary to change a number of values in order to achieve stability. Changing the value of the multiplier you can not do, most likely, you will need to increase the voltage. This measure allows you to overclock the processor more, but the whole difficulty lies in setting up stability.
After overclocking the processor, you need to do tests in special programs. They will help you determine the level of stability of your computer.
How to overclock the processor, we found out. You can also speed up the graphics card. This is optionally done through BIOS, but, for example, through third-party software. Another thing, is it worth it to overclock a video card if you are not a gamer? I think the answer is obvious.
Performing the above steps, first of all think about which cooler to install on the processor.
