Many video game lovers have probably tried overclocking their processor or video card. However, despite the fact that this procedure has long ceased to be too complicated and dangerous, it should be approached competently. Last time we told you aboutsafe overclocking of the video card , and now let's touch on the topic of processors.
Note: In this article, we only consider working with processors no older than five years. You can burn a modern processor only if you try to overclock it by more than 30%, with a voltage increase of more than 25%, without having a highly efficient cooling (enthusiasts sometimes even use liquid nitrogen instead of coolers). If you act within reasonable limits, then in a pinch, overclocking will simply automatically reset after a reboot.
Suitable processors and overclocking expediency
Typically, CPU overclocking is done for one of three good reasons:
1. The processor does not cope well with modern non-gaming tasks (video editing and rendering, modeling, transcoding, working with large amounts of data, etc.).
2. The processor does not perform well in processor-demanding games (Battlefield 1, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Company of Heroes 2, Dishonored 2, Mafia 3, Crysis 3, etc.).
3. The processor does not reveal the video card (read more about this case).
We are mainly interested in the last two reasons, since in both of them, overclocking the processor will increase the number of FPS in games. And this is exactly what any gamer needs.
However, there are a couple of cases when there is no point in overclocking the "stone":
1. If your processor is over five years old.
2. If your processor has less than four threads (like a dual-core Core i3) or four full cores (Core i5, i7, AMD FX-4300 or higher).
3. If your video card belongs to the most budget models (GeForce GT 710, etc.) or is generally a graphics core built into the processor.
It turns out that at the end of 2016, CPU overclocking should be done by owners of processors not lower than AMD FX-4300 or Core i3 and sufficiently powerful video cards. After all, only then something worthwhile will come out of this whole venture in the form of an additional ten or two in your favorite "shooters" and strategies.
Stage one: preparing for overclocking the processor
Now let's get started.
First you need to check the current processor frequencies and compare them with the factory ones:
1. download CPU-Z program,
2.install and run,
3. Look at the Core Speed \u200b\u200bcolumn.
The current processor frequency will be indicated there. Now open Google and enter the exact name of the model in the search bar (it is indicated in the Name column). Find the clock speed in the specifications and compare with the one in the Core Speed \u200b\u200bgraph. If the frequency in CPU-Z is higher, then your processor is already overclocked (this happens if you buy a computer from your hands). In this case, you will need to do a reset (more on this below). If the processor is not overclocked, then the frequencies will either coincide, or the indicator in the program will turn out to be significantly lower (economy mode, which is disabled during overclocking).
Now you need measure the number of FPS in one of the graphical benchmarks:
1. download and run the Heaven Benchmark program;
2. click the Run button in the window that appears;
3. After the beautiful video appears, press the F9 button to run the performance test;
4. After finishing the test, click the Save button and write the results to any convenient place (for example, directly to your desktop) under the title "Before CPU.html Overclocking".
For reliability still you need to run one of the processor-demanding games: Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crysis 3, Dishonored 2, Company of Heroes 2, or Battlefield 1. Ideally, all of the above. To measure FPS in them, you can use the utility Riva Tuner Statistics Server or the corresponding function in the program Bandicam... Play each game for about 5 minutes (the main thing is not to be indoors, where the load on the system is always much lower) and write down the average frame rates.
Now restart your computer and go to BIOS. In it, you need to find a section with a title like Advanced Frequency Settings or CPU Performance (different motherboard manufacturers have different names). This section should display all information about the current state of the processor: temperature, frequency, voltage, and so on. Write them all down on a piece of paper and proceed to the second stage.
Stage two-A: Overclocking the processor by a multiplier
The first kind of overclocking. It is not always available on modern processors, because this requires an unlocked multiplier (hence the name). The latter is found only in some models of "stones" from AMD and in K-processors from Intel (Core i5-6600K, i7-6700K, etc.).
If this is your case, then:
1. go to BIOS;
2. find a section with processor frequencies and a parameter with a name like CPU Multiplier or CPU Clock Ratio (this is the same multiplier; if it is locked, then go to the chapter "Overclocking the processor via the bus");
3. write down the current value of the multiplier on a piece of paper;
4. add 25-30 percent to it (NOT units);
5. save the changes and restart the computer (Apply changes and exit in the main BIOS menu);
6. If after rebooting you have problems, go back to BIOS and increase the processor voltage (CPU Voltage or CPU VCore) by 0.100-0.175 (for example, from 1.100 to 1.200-1.275);
7. if step 6 did not help, then go to BIOS and decrease the percent multiplier by 5;
8. Repeat step 7 until the problem stops;
9.If the operating system boots and freezes (or blue screen) after starting any demanding game does not occur, then go to BIOS again and lower the processor voltage by 0.025 (to reduce its power consumption);
10. Repeat step 9 until the problem starts and then return to the previous voltage value;
11. go to the stage "Testing the processor overclocking".
Stage two-B: Overclocking the processor over the bus
Bus overclocking is available for any processor. It should be dealt with only if the multiplier at your "stone" is blocked, since this method is considered more dangerous than the previous one. However, in reality, you just need to take care of the frequency of the RAM, which will increase in parallel.
The algorithm of actions is as follows:
1. go to BIOS;
2. find the section with the parameters bus frequency (BCLK Frequency, Host Clock Value, etc.) and RAM frequency (Memory Frequency, DRAM Frequency, etc.);
3. write down the current frequency value on a piece of paper;
4. reduce the frequency of RAM by 25-30 percent;
5. add 25-30 megahertz to the bus frequency;
6. save the changes and restart the computer (Apply changes and exit in the main BIOS menu);
7. If after rebooting there are problems, then go to BIOS again and increase the processor voltage (CPU Voltage or CPU VCore) by 0.100-0.175 (for example, from 1.100 to 1.200-1.275);
8. If step 7 did not help, then go to BIOS and reduce the bus frequency by 5 megahertz;
9. Repeat step 8 until the problem stops;
10. If the operating system boots and freezes (or blue screen) after starting any demanding game does not occur, then go to BIOS again and lower the processor voltage by 0.025 (to reduce its power consumption);
11. Repeat step 10 until problems start and then return to the previous voltage value;
12. go to the "Testing the processor overclocking" stage.
Stage three: testing processor overclocking
All that remains is to test the benefits of overclocking. Take the Heaven Benchmark and play the same games as in the first stage. Compare the FPS rates - if they have grown by at least 10 points, then you can consider overclocking successful.
* * *
Overclocking a processor is a very useful activity for any gamer. And the computer will become faster, and the user more experienced. However, we do everything wisely. There is no point in overclocking heavily outdated hardware - all the same, new games will not work well on it (and if the old ones don't work, then why do you still use them?). Trying to increase performance more than 20-30 percent without expensive and highly efficient cooling is naive.
You can (and should!) Share your impressive overclocking results in the comments below.
Come and play cool blockbusters like Dishonored 2, The Witcher 3, GTA 5 or Total War: Warhammer on our main site http://playkey.net... Games run without overclocking and on any PC!
The desire for your computer to run at high speeds is familiar to every user. Some need it for a comfortable pastime in games, and others for work, so that several applications can be successfully opened at once.
With a professional approach to overclocking a computer, its performance can rise to a tenth or even a fifth of a whole.
It is worth knowing that overclocking the processor does not always have a significant effect. If the RAM occupies 1GB, then increasing it by one more unit will give the desired result, and if you have a powerful computer, then the processor gain may be imperceptible.
In any case, you can only find out whether your actions with the processor worked by experiment.
Warning!
However, don't get too carried away with processor throttling. This can lead to damage. Here are some steps to help it stay in working order:
- Study this topic. Special literature or forums with sites will help you with this, which will tell you what to do. It's also worth looking at the specs of your processor. It may turn out that he is not able to squeeze out high speeds.
- If you increase, then only the frequency of the processor. It is not worth adjusting the power supply to the core by changing the voltage.
- Divide the increase in purity into several stages, each at 100 MHz.
- Test the system for stability and temperature after each lifting step. The temperature should be monitored constantly while you are working with the processor. When the maximum purity limit is exceeded, the computer will reset it to its initial characteristics. The higher the frequency, the higher the temperature. If it is lowered, then the CPU crystal may break down, and then it will have to be replaced.
- If the user nevertheless decided to change the voltage, then this should be done carefully and carefully monitor the characteristics of the computer. Usually this figure is increased in small steps of 0.05 - 0.10 V. However, exceeding the threshold of 0.30 V can lead to equipment damage.
- Since the CPU is a fragile thing, it is worth stopping any attempts to strengthen it after the first malfunctions. It is necessary to leave it at the frequency at which it worked successfully, and not to repeat attempts to improve it. There are times when the frequency of the processor has increased and it works successfully, but it is always warm and does not have time to cool down. In this case, it is worth changing the cooling system.
- The only thing that shouldn't be overclocked is laptops. Their cooling system is not designed to improve performance. But if you nevertheless decide to do this, then it is worth changing the cooling equipment to a more powerful one.
Device monitoring programs
- CPU-Z
- A common utility that will show the user voltage, frequency and other indicators that characterize the performance of the computer
- Prime95
Open source benchmarking software. Tests the computer for stress when the frequency is increased. Capable of performing lengthy checks to obtain large amounts of data
- LinX
Similar to the program above. One of the differences is support for the Russian language. It completely loads the processor and tests it. The user may feel that their device is frozen
- CoreTemp
Another free program. Shows the temperature of the crystal in the processor in real time. In addition, it often shows the FSB bus along with a multiplier.
The first item on choosing programs for successful overclocking of the system is completed.
The list includes applications for benchmarking, stress testing, information about the temperature of the crystal.
Before starting work, it is worth checking your computer for stress using basic programs. They will calculate the initial characteristics and help in detecting various problems.
The next step is to check and study the characteristics related to the motherboard and processor. The data and potential of these both may be different, so it's worth checking them out.
Also, special attention should be paid to the multiplier. If it is closed for modification, then you will not be able to overclock your processor.
To start it, you need to in the first seconds when you turn on the computer, when the POST-screen appears, hold down one of the following keys: F10, F2, F12, Esc - different computers, the buttons for opening this application differ from each other.
It is through this basic program that the overclocking process of the device will be carried out.
There are old and new BIOSes. They differ little from each other in terms of production, but they may have a different interface.
These programs are divided into two types:
- AMI or Phoenix AWARD
The first tab is called Advanced, it can also be called JumperFree Condiguration or AT Overclock.
The second is called Frequency, Voltage Control, it can also be called as follows: overclock.
After performing these manipulations, you should open the advanced mode and select the following AI Tweaker or, if the first is not there, then Extreme tweaker.
As a result of the actions taken, a window will appear in which it will be necessary to increase the frequency.
First of all, you need to reduce the speed of the memory bus. Following these instructions will help you avoid memory errors. It bears the name Memory multiplier or Frequency DDR... It is worth setting the minimum value that will be indicated there.
Then the fundamental frequency should be increased by a tenth of a hundred. This value is approximately 100 MHz.
It hides under one more name - the FSB bus. Its speed is the core of your processor.
Basically, it is equal to a value of 100 MHz or more, which is multiplied by a certain factor indicated in the status information.
That is, if the initial power is 200 MHz, and the multiplier is 10, then the computer frequency will be 2 GHz.
Most computers can handle a 10% boost easily, which is now 2.2 GHz.
However, in case of problems with stability or temperature, it is worth stopping all attempts and reducing the settings to the default option.
A temperature of 85 degrees will be critical for any computer, and its processor will break down.
If successful, continue to upgrade. The stress test should be run after each increase in frequency.
Increasing processor power through multipliers
This option applies if your multiplier readings are unlocked. This is an easier option to configure.
Reset the basic frequency setting first. Canceling it will help to better tune the frequency.
When using a low base frequency with a large multiplier, the stability of the operation is increased. A high frequency and a small multiplier gives excellent performance. In this case, one should look for such a value at which stability and performance will be equally strong.
After resetting the default settings, you should start raising the multiplier. It is worth doing this in small increments of half a unit. The multiplier itself is hidden under the name CPU Ratio or CPU Multiplier.
After rising, run the temperature and stress test process.
Then start increasing the multiplier again until the first stability problems begin. If this is not enough for you, then you can start increasing the tension.
Increasing it will make it possible to increase the multipliers by a few more points.
And the next short article will help the reader how to increase stress.
Increasing the voltage to power the core
The voltage can be increased with the usual adjustment. Entitled CPU Voltage or VCore hidden is our stress indicator.
If you nevertheless decide to increase it, then this should be done as carefully as possible.
If the voltage is increased randomly, then it can go beyond safe limits. And this will ultimately damage not only the processor, but also the motherboard.
It is worth increasing in steps equal to 0.025 or any other minimum value.
However, do not exceed the 0.3V limit.
This can end badly for the components of your apparatus.
You should also do a stress test after each lift.
With the last overclocking, you left the system in an unstable value, so after raising it, it will start to recover.
If the system has already found stability, then you should monitor the temperature. It must not be high.
If the system continues to be unstable, then you need to reduce the multiplier or base clock purity.
Your system will eventually stabilize. After that, you can go to raise the multiplier or frequency.
In this business, you are pursuing one single goal - to achieve stable operation and high performance with minimal voltage costs.
Repeat all this work until you reach the maximum temperature or voltage. As a result, you will come to this conclusion: you can no longer increase productivity. This will be the limit of the components of your processor that you cannot go beyond. Only if you change the components, for example, the motherboard.
6009Overclocking a PC is to increase its performance using software, less often hardware and means. But if earlier, only one processor was overclocked, now it is possible to increase the speed of the PC by overclocking the video adapter chip, by choosing the correct RAM and other computer components. For example, a power supply unit cannot be overclocked, but can directly participate in this process.
This improvement in CPU performance is always associated with an increase in CPU temperature. If your "machine" is already running with modern software, as they say, at the limit, and you decided to increase the speed of your PC to save a few dollars, then get ready to invest in an improved CPU cooling system. Otherwise, you can get instability in the work of the PC, or the failure of expensive equipment. Also, keep in mind that increasing the CPU frequency will increase the PCI bus frequency. When its frequency rises above 41 MHz, there is a risk of instability of the PC, as well as loss of data from hard drives working with the PCI interface.
Ways to Increase CPU Performance
A different algorithm of actions should be applied to different chips: even a beginner understands this. There is a long-standing debate among overclockers about which chip is best overclocked. Among the favorites of the dispute are, of course, the products of INTEL, and their eternal Canadian competitor - AMD. In fact, when these devices are overclocked by the same means, they demonstrate almost identical indicators: + - 5%. Despite the performance, overclocking an AMD processor is considered more painless for PCs and a priority for specialists.
A bit of theory
The simplest way to increase the performance of a CPU is to change its clock frequency, which in turn is the multiplication factor of the bus frequency. These two indicators change directly in the BIOS, which has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include:
- Simplicity of the operation.
- Overclocking from BIOS allows you to increase the speed of your PC immediately after starting. Specialized software does this after loading the operating system.
The main disadvantage of increasing CPU speed from Bios is considered to be CPU performance limitations due to some motherboards.
Many PC users are interested in the question: are there specialized programs for overclocking the processor? The answer suggests itself - of course, there are quite a few. There are utilities with which you can increase the frequency of the CPU directly from the operating system. In addition, many motherboard manufacturers offer the user programs of this kind, which come with the necessary drivers on a disk to the motherboard. Using them for overclocking will not be a problem even for a beginner, if he is thoughtful about each operation.
Preparing to increase the CPU clock speed
First of all, it is necessary to carefully weigh the pros and cons and find out whether all methods of increasing the computer's performance have really been tried, except for overclocking, and how necessary is it? If the answer to these questions is in the affirmative, then you should check the cooling system of your PC, if necessary, replace low-power fans with more efficient ones.
AMD Processor Speed \u200b\u200bUp Guide
To overclock the CPU, consider using special software. According to advanced overclockers, the best amd overclocking program of all time is AMD OverDrive, which is universal and suitable for most Canadian processors. In addition to it, you need a utility to measure the temperature of the CPU in real time. The most popular software of this kind among specialists is Speed \u200b\u200bFan. Both utilities can be easily found on the Internet, but it is best to download from the manufacturer's website.
- Run the OverDrive and Speed \u200b\u200bFan programs.
- In the utility, open the Advanced tab.
- In the tab, select the Clock / Voltage option.
- Check the box next to Select All Cores.
After these "dances with a tambourine", you can begin to gradually raise the CPU frequency through the multiplier. Most IT specialists unanimously claim that an AMD CPU can be set to a multiplier equal to 16. After operating the processor at this frequency, measure its temperature using the Speed \u200b\u200bFan utility. If the CPU temperature has risen slightly and does not exceed 70 C °, the PC works without failures, then you can try to increase the multiplier by 1.
In this part of the article, you learned how to overclock an AMD processor without making changes to your PC's BIOS. Next, we will consider a step-by-step instruction for software overclocking of INTEL processors.
How to improve the performance of INTEL chips
The steps a PC user takes to increase the performance of an Intel-based computer are not much different from overclocking an AMD CPU. For the sake of completeness, our publication will offer a variant of CPU overclocking via BIOS.
- When starting the system unit, after initializing the BIOS of PC components, press the DEL button to enter the input-output system (BIOS).
- Enter BIOS FEATURES option.
- Enter the Super Speed \u200b\u200boption.
- Enter the Overlock section and set the Optimal Referens option
- In this section, set Manual.
After the performed procedures, you will see all the information about the processor: its multiplier, bus frequency. You will need these BIOS items.
- In the BSLK frequency item, it is necessary to gradually increase the frequency. The optimal result can only be obtained by experience. Then exit BIOS. By saving the settings.
- Reboot your PC.
That's basically it. Changes to the CPU frequency can be checked in the properties of the computer. If working in the BIOS is inconvenient for you, then use one of the special programs. According to most IT pros, the best overclocking software for an intel processor is CPU-Z. It is Russian-speaking, informative, has a small distribution kit and can be run without prior installation.
Overclocking the processor is the increase in the speed of the chip in comparison with the manufacturer's declared performance. The most popular method is magnification. In this case, the processor cycle is slightly reduced in time, but it does the same for this cycle. This means that the speed of calculations is growing. The advent of multi-core processors gave rise to another overclocking option - unlocking the cores disabled by the manufacturer. But this is the lot of professional overclockers, and we will leave the witchcraft with cores outside of this article. Let's consider just a few of the safest options for overclocking a laptop processor.
Why is overclocking a laptop processor done?
Let's start by asking why. Getting more performance for the same processor cost seems like a bargain. In addition, as the chip's bus clock speed increases, the memory tends to perform faster. As a result, applications start to work a little faster. It's fair to say that you can overclock CPU and RAM in different ways in modern desktop chipsets. But not in laptops.
Where might you need more performance from a laptop processor? Obviously, in games and heavy applications like Adobe Photoshop, which are very CPU-intensive. Modern browsers also actively use the processor on "heavy" pages on the Internet. Website developers today are actively using the multimedia capabilities of HTML 5 and Flash. That is, great performance is required in almost all everyday tasks of a laptop user.
Overclocking a laptop processor: step by step
Attention! When overclocking the processor yourself using our advice, you need to remember the following things:
- Overclocking the processor increases performance, but also increases power consumption. This means that your laptop battery will last for less time and the chip will heat up more. Ensure good ventilation inside the case. At the very least, do not block the special slots on the bottom and back of the laptop.
- In the long run, overclocking can reduce the lifespan of the processor.
Easy Windows Overclocking
The safest thing for laptops is "overclocking" by changing the power supply mode.
1. Open the Power Supply program in Windows 7 or 8.1.
2. Install "High performance" - a special power supply scheme that requires the processor to perform at maximum performance.
Thus, we overclocked the laptop processor using regular means and without any risk.
Software overclocking method using special utilities
Here begins a description of overclocking methods that involve a certain risk for the average user. Therefore, do everything carefully and with a very small step.... For example, if the frequency of the processor is 1 GHz, then it is stupid to demand that it conquer the peak of 1.5 GHz. The maximum that can be done safely is + 10-15%. All other figures are achieved only by special means with a change in the cooling system and power supply of the chip.
1. Download the CPU-Z program.
She does not know how to overclock the processor. But the CPU-ID will give us full information about the chip that is installed in our laptop. Knowing this information, we will be able to understand how much additional gigahertz we can calculate.
2. Download the special utility SetFSB. This program is able to control the processor clock speed without using the BIOS.
Carefully study the list of laptop models supported by the utility. You will not find the most recent ones in this list, since the situation with program support is currently not clear. But the utility supports old laptops, released approximately before 2014. The sequence of actions is simple. Increase the processor bus clock speed with small steps and look at the result.
3. Testing the laptop for stability after overclocking. The fact that the laptop after overclocking works when the Internet browser is launched is already good. But we need to check if it can withstand a more serious load. The Prime 95 utility will help us. Its advantage is the minimal file size and no need to waste time on installation.
If you run the CPU-Z program described earlier during the test, you will see that the processor is operating at the highest frequency that it is allowed to. If something is unstable: the appearance of a blue screen, freezing, then the frequency should be reduced.
Overclocking laptop processor via BIOS
Overclocking the processor is also possible through the BIOS settings. But this applies only to individual models. And, I must say, quite rare. It should be understood that a laptop is primarily a mobile device with a long battery life. The overclocking capabilities of the processor are not as wide as those of personal computers, but something can be done. The general course of action is something like this.
- We enter the BIOS. Depending on your laptop model, you should hold down or press the Del, Esc, or F12 key frequently while turning on the power. There may be other key combinations. It depends on the manufacturer, so read the information about your laptop online or in the user manual.
- The item under which the settings are hidden can be called differently. For example, CPU FSB Clock or CPU FSB Frequency. All we can do is increase the bus clock speed slightly.
- We increase the clock rate. We reboot the laptop.
After overclocking, be sure to test the reliability of the laptop with the Prime 95 utility.
Do I need to overclock my laptop?
Laptops are not designed for CPU overclocking. On the contrary, manufacturers of mobile chips have done everything to ensure that such overclocking is not required by the user. The frequency is automatically reduced when the processor is idle, and rises when the system needs a chip. The most reliable way not to break anything is to use switching the laptop power supply circuit... The processor will stop dropping the frequency, which will give you a small performance boost compared to economy modes. For the sake of fairness, recall that the high-speed mode automatically turns on if you simply plug the power supply plug into the laptop. For not the newest models of laptops, there is an additional alternative to overclocking the processor - the SetFSB utility. And you can check the stability in the new overclocked state with the Prime 95 program.
Overcoling (overclocking) is an increase in the performance of the processor, video card, system card and computer RAM. When it comes to the processor, this means an increase in frequency, voltage and multiplier factor.
Manufacturers constantly leave 20-50% of the safety margin, which increases the maximum operating time in a stable state. For example, operating at an optimal frequency of 1.8 Ghz, it has a maximum possible frequency of 3.0 Ghz. This means that with the correct sequence of actions performed during overclocking, it is possible to increase the frequency to 3.0 Ghz. However, it is not a fact that the percent will be able to work in this state for a longer period than at a frequency of 1.8 Ghz.
How to overclock a processor!
Nobody gives guarantees that it will be possible to increase the frequency by 50%, but with simple actions it will not be difficult to increase the processor frequency by 20-30%.
The processor frequency is one of its main characteristics. Also not unimportant parameter of any processor is a multiplier - a number, multiplying which by the FSB bus frequency, you can get the real frequency.
Therefore, the safest and easiest method of overclocking a processor is through bios. In this way, the FSB frequency is increased, with the help of which the processor frequency is increased.
The processor frequency in all available variants will be 2 GHz:
- 166 - bus, 12 - frequency multiplication factor;
- 200 - bus, 10 - frequency multiplication factor;
- 333 - bus, 6 - frequency multiplication factor.
The simplicity of this method lies in the fact that the FSB frequency is changed directly in the BIOS or in a special program in 1 MHz steps.
Previously, this method of increasing the frequency could end up sadly for the processor. However, today it will be very problematic to kill a multi-core processor by increasing the frequency. As soon as a beginner overclocker overclocks a little with the frequency, the system will instantly reset all default settings, and a restart will return the computer to normal operation.
You can change the bus frequency by going into the BIOS and selecting the CPU Clock value. Press Enter on the existing value and enter the bus frequency. A multiplier and an effective frequency of 2.8 GHz can be seen nearby.
Please note that the processor multiplier is quite high in the example. In this case, it is recommended to increase FSB in 5-10 MHz steps, that is, the frequency will increase by 70-140 MHz. With other values \u200b\u200bof frequency and multiplier, the bus frequency should be increased in steps of no more than 10%. You should not rush to overclock, as a small step allows you to determine the more optimal frequency for your computer.
If you want to achieve the most tangible results, then you can't do without a new cooler. I advise you to draw your attention to the Zalman cooler.
Temperature tests are performed with the processor running at its maximum. These measurements can be made using 3D Mark and Everest software. If the temperature at the highest load is more than 70C, then it is necessary to increase the cooler speed to the maximum or decrease the FSB frequency.
The multiplier also lends itself to changes that affect the increase in frequency.
For example, at a frequency of 1.33GHz: 133 is the bus, 10 is the frequency multiplication factor. If you change the factor to 15, then instead of 1.33 GHz you can get 2.0 GHz.
However, there is one point - the processor must have an unlocked multiplier. Usually such processors are marked as Extreme, but in cases where the processor is Black Edition or AMD processor. But do not be upset if the processor version is not Extreme, because with the right approach, you can achieve good results. Although it is rather impossible to do here without increasing the voltage. For example, an ordinary light bulb is the same processor, but its design is hundreds of thousands of times simpler than that of a processor. But despite this, the principle of their work is about the same: the more voltage is applied, the brighter the result of their work will be.
Also, in order to achieve stability from the operation of the processor at high frequencies, it is necessary to increase the amount of voltage supplied to it. There are a few things to consider here:
- do not increase the voltage by more than 0.3 V;
- be sure to install a good cooler.
To do this, you need to enter the BIOS and go to the Power Bios Setup section and then to Vcore Voltege. In this section, you can increase the value by 0.1 V. After that, the cooler should be set to maximum and the FSB frequency should be set higher.
