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

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

Ill say buy a Dual core e5200

with a motherboard of G41 intel chipset.. maker can b MSI ASUS.. and they are available in india i think

    • I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
