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).

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.

    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
