How to Overlock the CPU to get much faster?


Recommended Posts

Original intel motherboards do not allow overclocking, there are no options available in the bios.

Overclocking a celeron is not worth the effort.

Things to take into account:

The heatsink (aircooling).

Aftermarket heatsinks can be better, but some are worse than the boxed cooler!

Do some research!! Read more than one review.

Watercooling a good kit is not cheap.

Some cheaper kits are not much better than a good copper heatsink (cheaper!).

(some kits make a lot of noise! beware of noisy fans)

If the watercooling set is worth more than a better CPU it's not worth the effort,

speedup from overclocking will not help you to outperform the better CPU.

Higher clock speed doesnt mean faster processor.

The Core 2 processors are more efficient and do more work per clock cycle than the old Pentium 4/Celeron processors which means they can have a lower clock speed but run much much faster than a Pentium 4/Celeron, with overclocking you cant overclock much more than a few hundred mhz on old processors.

Buying newer/better parts will give you much better results than water cooling ever would.

I'll also suggest, just as everybody else in this thread has, to go upgrade your rig. If you don't know how to overclock with a regular air cooler, you definitely shouldn't jump into water cooling. Baby steps. :D

But high clock speed are not available on the new processor!

then how can we do our work @ high clock speed!

please say me the way to get high clock speed!

Buy a new motherboard (not intel branded) compatible with your type of Celeron CPU.

( Possible manufacturers names : Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, etc.. )

Genuine Intel motherboards (older CPU model boards) DO NOT have overclock options in their BIOS.

Even if you bought a 100years supply of LN2 cooling.

And permanently freeze your CPU to 0 degrees Kelvin.

You can not overclock the CPU because the intel mainboard bios won't allow you to change the clockrates.

then what is the way to get higher performence for our work

All you can do, is just increase the clock speeds in the bios. But that won't really give "you" a big boost.

edit: Or not, juding by the above message (didn't know old Intel motherboards are limited that way).

    • If only Windows would have a toggle switch named "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible.
    • After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in many areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.
    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
