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

    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
