Im new, how do you overclock a computer


Recommended Posts

advice, go easy on overcloking your hardware. Its very dangerous and can destroy your comp.

It is highly not recommended........

1. makes system unstable

2. over heats the hardware

3. damage hardware

4. simply not worth it. the amount of speed you squeeze is not significantly much

So true, if you are new to overclocking, ease into it, dont just crank up the Bus without knowing what your getting into, could seriously damage something on your system..The most important factor is heat, if you keep your temps down and cool your system properly then you should be fine, and good memory (quality ie: Mushkin, OCZ)

But being you have a commercial Rig, your overclocking options are nill. oh and stay away from windows based overclocking utilities..they are ver unstable!

Only one i heard of that work fairly well is one made specifically for Gigabyte boards, and looks cool too...

1. uhh... if you overclock it too much it'll become stable.. thats why you overclock until the system is stable.

2. thats why you get proper cooling, if not, you're an idiot.

3. if you damage it, you did it wrong, its your own fault..

4. depends what cpu you have, you can "squeeze" almost GIG out of the new p4's, not sure about the new athlons, but i'd overclock just to get a another hundred MHz.. doesn't matter...

Now you're either joking or you meant Unstable instead of stable.
