How to Overlock the CPU to get much faster?


Recommended Posts

Ok, this thread is totally ridiculous. To the OP, let me set you straight. For starters, it's overCLOCK, not overLOCK. Apparently overLOCKing is some kind of stitch, hence the wikipedia article.

The fact of the matter is that if you don't even know what it's called, you're probably not ready. I lol'd when you said you wanted liquid nitrogen. That would be a hell of a Neowin front page article: "Indian noob dies trying to overclock P4 Celeron to 8ghz with liquid nitrogen. Friends claimed his last words were 'I wanna play Crysis!'".

You need to chill the f out. Stop with the exclamation marks and all that. Why are you yelling at us? We don't know the retailers that will ship to you. Why don't you do some of your own friggin research. Forums are for assistance, not for us to live your life for you.

In summation, buy yourself a new goddamn computer rather than purchasing anything to overclock. You WILL ruin new equipment if you don't know what you're doing (or anything at all).

P.S.: Here's a link to Dell's India site http://www.dell.co.in/. Buy a pre-built machine there and call it a day. And please don't even think of the words "liquid" and "nitrogen" together in the same sentence. But if you do, you'd better include the word "death" in that thought as well, because it is inevitable.

This thread was hilarious till you showed up agreenbhm :( There's no need to be so mean.

I'm not being mean. I'm being straight. He will kill himself and others around him if he goes through with this ill-fated project. Think of me as a humanitarian...

Well, yes, I suppose much of what he said is true, but I still feel a little sorry for the OP :p

I called him out for what he really is: a noob. Nothing wrong with that, but you shouldn't dive into something neck-deep if you don't even know what it's called... I believe I've been the most helpful by telling him the truth rather than making fun of him by progressing the thread in the direction it was going. I feel that a solid post of truth (in this case it had to be harsh) is more helpful than teasing him "behind his back".

Don't get me wrong, it was all very entertaining. But it seems that telling this guy about which mobo to buy and CPU sockets and all that is just a disaster waiting to happen. He needs a new Dell. A C2D or C2Q is going to perform much faster than he could ever imagine compared to what he has. It is stupid to waste a water cooling kit on a Celeron of this age. It's not going to perform well by today's standards in any way, shape or form.

Maybe fun for you, but definitely not for him. Cmon man. I am sure you have read worse English than this.

@Balaji...

Get yourself to Chennai and go to a Dell or a HP outlet. Buy a stock model that is fast enough for your needs. I have been using computers for a long time and do not feel that overclocking is going to be beneficial for me. First of all, you are going to wear away your equipment very fast. Secondly, you don't seem to know too much about computers. If you try to overclock and make a small mistake, you could end up destroying your system.

Thnx a lot buddy!

U've understood me!

First of all, you are going to wear away your equipment very fast.

That's not entirely true. My 3 year old E6600 is still running fine at 3.2GHz to this day in my mother's PC and a friend of mine has my 5 year old Athlon 64 3500+ running at 2.7GHz still, with no problems. The reality is that if the lifespan of CPUs really is decreased significantly, it'll still be obselete long before it dies anyway unless you're running stupid voltages through the chips. If you keep it sensible, you can still hit very impressive overclocks (my 2.66GHz i7 runs fine at 4GHz with only a 0.1v increase) with minimal risk.

However, with that said, I can only echo what everyone is saying to the guy. Overclocking is not for you, and even if you did have a motherboard that allowed you to do it, it's pointless with such a low-end CPU. Just buy a new PC.

Don't give him the details, you'll just confuse him :p

Ok then What shall i do?

Oh god, i've just made things even worse :laugh:

Sorry but...

1) You are not ready to overclock any thing.

2) You are 15, and shouldn't be trusted with any extreme methods of cooling, i.e. Liquid Nitrogen.

3) If you want a faster computer, buy faster parts.

4) Even if you did overclock your Celeron, you wouldn't see any real benefits as the Celerons have half of their legs broken and very inefficient.

While I've read this thread with an open mind, but sorry, it's hysterical. You've only proven that you are not ready to do any overclocking and the safest and best way to get around your problem is to buy new computer parts, or a new computer completely.

hello

if u overclock ur CELERON.! ( which u cant because u have intel motherboard that dun allow it)

ur PROCESSOR would still be slower then if u buy a new PC

listen.

u want overclock?

u buy COOLING SYSTEM rite?

U buy fans

u buy thermal paste

u buy new casing if needed

u buy new heatsink ... rite??

THESE ALL DUN BUY.. BUY NEW MOTHERBOARD AND PROCESSOR..

PRICE SAME!

SPEED DOUBLE!

PERFORMANCE DOUBLE!

U HAPPY!!:..

I HAPPY! :)

for descriptions of products.. go to www.newegg.com

:::::::::::::::::::::

    • TeraCopy 4.0 Build 26 by Razvan Serea TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, also providing you with a lot of features. Copy files faster. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives. Pause and resume transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click. Error recovery. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer. Interactive file list. TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files. Shell integration. TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual. TeraCopy is free for non-commercial use only. For commercial use you need to buy a license. The paid version of the program includes the following features: Copy/move to your favorite folders. Save reports as HTML and CSV files. Select files with the same extension/folder. Remove the selected files from the copy queue. TeraCopy 4.0 Build 26 changelog: Added support for receiving files via the LocalSend protocol. Improved exception handling and automated bug report upload. Fixed several minor bugs and small memory leaks. Build 26 (June 24) Fixed a rare exception when a transfer completed. Features added since version 3.17: Enhanced speed graph. New multi-threaded copy engine. Support for copying to multiple targets. Queue system for managing multiple copy operations. Support for receiving files via the LocalSend protocol. TeraCopy entry in the modern Windows Explorer context menu. Integrated toolbar in the title bar. Why receive LocalSend transfers with TeraCopy? Handle file conflicts: Skip, overwrite, or rename files when a file with the same name already exists. LocalSend always creates another copy, which can waste time and disk space, especially when resuming an interrupted transfer. Filter unwanted files: Apply ignore lists or remove files manually before accepting a transfer, so unnecessary files are not downloaded. Better performance on fast networks: In tests over a 10 Gbps connection, TeraCopy received files several times faster than the standard LocalSend app on Windows.

    • Age of Empires Mobile comes to PC, here's how to carry over progress from your phone by Ivan Jenic Image: YouTube/Microsoft Microsoft just released Age of Empires Mobile for PC. The game, officially called Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, is available for free on Steam and Microsoft Store, almost two years after its initial release for handheld devices. Age of Empires is one of those franchises that entire generations grew up with. The original came out in 1997, and immediately got people hooked to building civilizations and crushing their enemies on the battlefield. However, the franchise today is a far cry from its roots, as Age of Empires Mobile is, well, a game optimized for handheld devices, and not a classic RTS title we’ve all loved for years. And, of course, it includes in-game purchases. The PC version is still a mobile game at its core, but it’s been optimized for desktop play. There’s mouse control, full keyboard compatibility, and a refined UI. Microsoft also refreshed the visuals with some 4k textures, so the game should look better on larger screens. The game supports Crossplay, so you can switch between your phone, tablet, and PC without losing anything. But linked progress doesn’t come out of the box, as you have to enable it first. Here’s how to link your progress: On your mobile device, open Age of Empires Mobile. Go to Settings (Gear icon) > Account. Select Bind Account and choose a sign-in option. Once you enable account binding, sign in on PC using the same method, and your progress will be accessible across all your devices. Xbox Game Pass subscribers also get a bonus reward pack on PC, which includes: 1 Monthly Pass Token 1 Custom Resource Chest 10 Universal 60-Minute Speed-Ups 1,000 Empire Coins Exclusive Player Portrait Frame You can find more info about Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, as well as download links, on the Age of Empires official website.
    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features.
