@Suhas424 As much as you want. It's 100% safe as long as you don't increase the voltage. I kept my processor at a 25% overclock for nearly 6 years. It outlived it's usefulness and I replaced it with a Pentium D 2.8 which I have running at 3.5 ghz. 25% overclock is stable. Up to 40% works well.
@FrosDOwnz Yo ty for the Fast reply even tho 2 days i am feeling suprised for some reason XD :P anyways, Well if i do this kk when i keep it on bed and its gets verry hot then it might get shuted down automatically for being hot yes i know that, but that doesnt cause by the Overlock does it?,
@iPixierGFX Overclocking doesn't increase the heat much, although it'll shut off as you said when it gets too hot. Don't keep it on a carpet or on a blanket, place it on a flat, hard surface like a wooden table or a countertop. Otherwise you're trapping heat underneath it and it's getting too hot.
@CAtheritzkid I'm glad I could finally get a response such as this one. It's the truth. I'm explaining in plain detail what the BIOS/CMOS menu of the motherboard looks like.
@kapitalisttas I'm using a Pentium D 915 (2.8 ghz 2MBx2 L2 cache) right now and it's much faster than my other processor. It's at a 25% overclock along with my RAM. 1 ghz on the FSB and RAM overall, and 3.5 ghz on my dual Pentium 4 Cedar Mill processor.
@kingaznboy That's it, you should be able to change the CPU multiplier, or FSB frequency. If not, and you have some sort of stock motherboard with a brand computer, you might be screwed.
@FrosDOwnz hey i have an i5 2400k h61 intel motherboard and can i use this technique i suppose so but what is overclocking the ram about and what are the frequencys and shit what does all that mean?
@thegolfman52 In Layman's terms, CPU frequency/speed is how fast the computer can 'think', RAM frequency/speed is how fast the computer can remember from short-term memory, and Front Side Bus is how fast stuff can get between the brain, the short term memory, long term memory, and the visualizer (the graphics processing unit). It's very important that you overclock the front side bus and not just change the CPU frequency multiplier, as it will allow ALL system components to work at their peak.
@thegolfman52 Otherwise a component may bottleneck for example Random Access Memory and then the CPU will actually have to waste cycles WAITING on the RAM or the FSB to transfer the information to it so it can begin to compute upon it.
@thegolfman52 The frequency is cycles, or (math) operations per second, like add, subtract, multiply and divide. Nowadays, processors can do multiple operations per cycle. So 1 hertz is one cycle PER second, whereas 1 kilohertz is 1,000 per second, 1 megahertz is 1 million, 1 gigahertz is 1 billion. For example, core 2 duos can do 2 operations per second, so 2.4 gigahertz is 4.8 billion mathematical operations, add/subtract/multiply and divide. Make sense now? That's exactly why it's speed.
@Xerxes20xx I just OC'ed it to 3.0ghz but windows won't show it.When I overclocked to 3.0ghz in the bios it shutdown then everything was fine is that ok
@Xerxes20xx 75+ celsius. Preferably not over 80, 85. My uncle has a stock cooler on a 3.4 or 3.6 ghz quad running at like 80-84 celsius that does perfectly fine. He's like anti-overclocking because of his experiences in his earlier years and he believes it just to be better to buy a faster processor, although if it were me I'd replace that cooler AND overclock, because even overclocked at a cooler temperature it'll last a lot longer, and it'll perform better.
@ExsplosiveProduction Brand? If it's a brand PC then you're kinda screwed, unless you swap out the motherbaord because they typically disable that. There is always speedfan and SetFSB. If you still can't figure out the PLL then you might have to hard mod the motherboard using a soldering iron and voltimeter.
@xXNightmareXxPRRP Good luck 'burning' it out even in 10-20 years. Processors are meant to last, they dont die within years, and running at room temperature at stock speed they have a theoretically indefinite lifespan. So go for it. Safe temperatures are below 65-69 celsius.
Btw CRTs are nice for their indefinite lifespan, color accuracy, ability to force unsupported resolutions/refresh rates and for the image quality. Aliasing is more of a concern on LCD screens.
@xXNightmareXxPRRP The architecture is much different on our processors. Mine runs ~30 celsius idle and up to 50 celsius on load (120 F).
Overclock it as high as it'll go, but your going to reach a wall simply because not enough voltage is being supplied to meet the new real-time energy demands of the processor. It creates an annoying constraint when you can't up the voltage any.
@FrosDOwnz Alright... Yeah, I get it. My voltage is 450W. I overclocked it with nTune and in BIOS, it went like 2.85 GHz. Though the processor is already old like 4-5 years.
@xXNightmareXxPRRP Thats actually the wattage. Processor age doesn't matter unless it was overheating (70-80 celsius or higher) and electromigration took effect after thousands of hours powered on in such a state.
Every 10 celsius reduces a semiconductors lifespan by half, but since most CPUs will long outlast their reasonable use, and stock CPUs are unlikely to fail even within a century.
@xXNightmareXxPRRP I mean since most CPUs are unlikely to fail you shouldnt have to worry about it. Just wing it. By the way the voltage is more like 1.1v or something. On my CPU it's 1.3-1.4 volts max.
@FrosDOwnz 1.3 volts here I think, it said in BIOS. Anyways, in BIOS, when I go to the CPU preferences, I get a multiplier shown ( minimum 5, max 11 ), above it, there's a drop menu which shows how many times it'll be multiplied by 11. There, at the drop menu, it shows max 400 MHz. Should I go for it, though that's insane because it's 4+ GHz. I'm not sure. And no, I'm not insane, I saw that.
@xXNightmareXxPRRP You have options for the CPU multiplier (5-11) and the Front Side Bus frequency (200-400). The FSB is probably quad pumped or something, and mine also 'allows' up to 400 but I'm only using 250 because my mobo's FSB is quad pumped and then 4 ghz is the most this CPU is stable at. So just go up slowly until your CPU is just the slightest bit unstable in Windows and then pull back 20 megahertz and your set.
@FrosDOwnz At the moment it's on 2.55 GHz and I added some voltage into it, it runs smooth, 5+ frames on Resident Evil 5 ( now 40+ ). But yeah, there's a visible difference. And also, I'm not sure if I'm asking the right person, but could I unlock a core on my CPU, as I've got a motherboard which has the UCC option but I never used it. I'm not into changing motherboards until you answer.
@xXNightmareXxPRRP Don't worry about it, I'll try to keep my replies very consistent, but I should have answered this yesterday. Keep pushing up the clockspeed and voltage, as long as temperatures are low you wont damage it. Once you start seeing a slight bit of instability, lower the clockspeed and voltage enough to where you can be sure it'll stay stable. And I'm not sure about core unlocking because I've never had an AMD, but Google "motherboard unlock core" and the first result should help.
@ShzzLxHD 10-30% depending on a very wide variety of variables. It's not possible for me to be precise so you'll have to figure out what your CPU is capable of.
wtf??? that was it? nothing else?? no increasing frequency by 1 every time for testing the heating and checking if the power voltage is enough , if the temperature is too highhhhhhh???
@michael4sumaher Unnecessary to check voltage if frequency isnt increased more than 15-25%. The temperatures were already checked long before hand, and they aren't too high, plus increasing frequency by one takes too long, it's easiest to do it in steps until the motherboard doesn't POST and then lower until fully stable.
Hey, I have an AMD Athlon II X4 645 cpu that has a normal clock speed of 3.1 ghz. What would be the best clock speed to get overclock this at if I have a 550w PSU and 4gb of DDR 3 ram?
hi i have a 2.70 ghz cpu and i have over clocked it to 3.50 ghz but it wont let me go any further dose that have anything to do with the vcore ? cosi cant find the option for the vcore
@harrisonpie Yeah it has to do with voltage most likely, and just the chip itself. It wouldn't be a good idea to overvolt it and push it further unless you can keep it pretty cool.
It's probably your motherboard that won't let you overvolt.
if i unlock this to a quad core would that cause it to overheat more easily?
(i cant provide a link but its a AMD Phenom II X2 555 Dual Core) i normally overclok my processors about 20-25 % up, but I've never done it with unlocked cores so i thought i should ask someone more experiencedbefore i risk overheating
@caseybar You will not damage your processor unless it exceeds 80-90 C for extended periods of time. I do not recommend over 67-75 celsius. You can unlock it and see how high it can reach. Use speedfan to check the temperature. Then, stress test it with Stress Prime 2004 Beta Orthos Edition or whichever multicore game or program of your choice. Make sure it uses 2 cores or you will not be able to really know if your processor is stable.
@Miaumiauize What are you planning to do with it? If you need to crunch through video/audio encoding tasks or if your using incredibly CPU intensive programs then it would help to overclock. Otherwise if your not even reaching the peak usage on a single core then overclocking will make no noticeable difference, especially if your just web browsing..
I overclock because I definitely need the extra 800 million CPU clock cycles every second. Your processor is at least as fast as mine PER CORE(4).
@MrWildfire92@MrWildfire92 I already have a great CPU cooler, 120 F on load w/out AC and merely 60-70 F on load with, down to 34 F idle.
Try to beat that with your fancy liquid cooling.. not the 120 F, but the 60 F, because watercooling is also limited to ambient temperature same as air cooling.
But... while it may seem to work, if it hits 32 F the water will freeze, and you'll be fucked.
@MrWildfire92 Not talking about alcohol or propylene glycol which could be added to the water to lower the freezing point. I don't have that stock cooler anymore, I broke the pins on that and 2 other shitty ass coolers before I bumped up to a universal cpu cooler which is basically just a tower of aluminum fins with a pure copper base and 6 copper heatpipes leading straight through from the base to the top.
I can get below ambient because I have my PC lying on a crate directly underneath AC
@FrosDOwnz well my core2 duo would whoop the shit out of your processor and get a thermaltake v1 it idles with the fan off at 90f with the room temp of 80f
@MrWildfire92 That is 1/3rd less heat than my P4, so they were right, but it wasn't dramatic as half. :(
I should have saved for a Core 2 quad a year ago or some shit, but they're so cheap now that wouldn't even take long. I need to convert and crunch and I need fucking teraflops. 5 minutes for a teraflop, it's so slow. :( I tried a Pentium Dual-Core and oc'd it to 3.15 ghz on my cousins rig but I didn't want to fry it it hit 71 C with the stock cooler, embarrassing for it, but fast and stable.
@FrosDOwnz I have a giant cooler its Cooler Master Z600 Hyper it has 2 Big fans and i want to try and over clock my dual core procesor i hope that it will keep it cool enough.. Tell me what ya think?
@MrAntti97 This Pentium 4 541 Prescott with Hyperthreading enabled is clocked at 3.2 ghz stock. It reaches anywhere from 4 to 4.25 ghz (with 'extreme(ly)' [ghetto] air cooling) without a hitch, however, and the great thing about HT is it can further enhance performance up to 50% in multithreaded tasks. 44 F idle up to 88 F max on load at 4.25 ghz with best cooling arrangements and ~98 F idle at 4 ghz up to 118 F max on load.
I don't know when I will have plans to replace my CPU, it works great!
i might get a Thermaltake CLP0564 Frio Dual 120mm Universal CPU Cooler - LGA1366, LGA1156, LGA775, AM3, AM2+, AM2. "Received The Overclockers Tech Gold Award" soooooooon ! and a coolermaster case
@alltimegamer247 I swapped my fan to a Rocketfish universal CPU cooler similar to what your talking about but with copper base and heatpipes through aluminum fins. When I bring some cool A/C into the case I drop my temps down to 44 F with the Pentium 4 running 4.25 ghz at about 88 F max. Considering this uses plenty of wattage and thus is 70-100% warmer than a Core 2 Duo I'd have to say my cooling solution works for only spending 30 bucks. It beats room-temp watercooling, unless A/C'd :O
Dell Dimension 2350 Pentium 4, Windows xp sp3, 1.8ghz, 2 gigs of ram (upgrade from 256 mb), 400 watt power supply (upgrade from 200 watts), Nvidia GForce 8400 GS graphics card, (upgraded from the intergraded card) , 250 gig HD (upgraded from 30 gig HD)
@14u2nvJohnny Yes, but Dell's motherboard's BIOS/CMOS does not support CPU overclocking or changing FSB. [usually?]. You will have to download speedfan and choose the correct PLL (try out different ones depending on your motherboard, they won't hurt) and the advantage is you can overclock from WITHIN Windows so you can see the speed increase immediately. The disadvantage is that software overclocking is neither as stable nor reliable.
Speedfan can do this to a limited extent + monitor temps.
@bigblack284 Air conditioning helps very much, over -50 F on temps and best of all it's simple and free. It's summer in Vegas so the air is very dry and I could keep it like this for hours on end. Try to reach 4.25 ghz on a Prescott with room-temperature water in your water cooling setup... you'll eventually get like 120-130+ F and constant crashes. If I had a watercooling setup I'd set the reservoir next to the A/C to get near-freezing cold water without a hitch.
I do admire your AC Idea though- If you would make a video on how you did it, or if you have one already; link it sometime as I'm to lazy and tired ATM to look for myself! I still feel like I said liquid cooling is just a visual stimulant rather than a proper means of cooling unless you really do your homework! Its like you have to replace the warm/.hot liquid constantly to really make it do it's job!
Water has a high specific heat, and both absorbs and releases heat efficiently.
Air has the problem that it cannot affect the warmest parts of the heatsink, which is at the bottom right next to the chip...
Liquid cooling takes care of that, the block stays cooler easier.
The A/C can be done but you must completely seal off your PC from warm outside air so it doesn't condensate. Since the air is dry here I don't get much condensation.
It uses '50% of CPU' in HT but HT raises the load temps up 10C. It is 100% torture test because it stresses the CPU as much as any other program, especially if you lower all the settings and the resolution to reduce the dependence on the GPU.
I was idling 38-50C with load up to 64-75C.
Now I'm reaching 12-25C up to 48-50C with additional cooling.
HT has a singular virtual core efficiency of approximately 88-105%+ (In perfect situations hyperthreading can boost multithreaded (2 virtual cores used or more) applications by 30-50%, for just adding 5% die area [chip size]) depending on load balancing, cache, frequency, bandwidth and memory.
If you want to torture test your CPU, try media encoders that take advantage of multiple threads such as Mediacoder, or try Swiftshader.
@FrosDOwnz How did it get that Hot??? How did mt CPU and GPU handle it?????
They didn't handle it,,,, My Entire MOBO/bus's/ECT, got fucked. Why it happened is because this models parts are made to kill lol they've been known to get so hot that they burst into flames. Got it fixed for free (recall thank God)
Your CPU must have had terribly inadequate cooling to begin with. Overclocking alone isn't enough to raise the temperature that drastically unless the heat dissipation is minimal.
I've never seen my Pentium 4 beyond 76C, and that is too hot for most other processors, anything over 90-95C for any lengthy time is permanently damaging to a CPU, and every 10 celsius up halves a lifespan, every 10 celsius down doubles it.
The CPU would have burned out at it's regular temps pretty soon anyways. ~80+
90 C is the threshold for damage, and 65 is the max thermal specification for most processors.
Unless that's your GPU, it's not too good. Every 10 C halves lifespan, 20 C quarters, and 30 C eighths...
It would be a good idea to invest in an aftermarket cooler such as Zalman and use just a pea sized dab of Artic Silver, Ceramique or MX-5 before applying the heatsink/fan cooler.
OCing wouldn't have much stability above 60 C, at 70+ C my processor can't stand 4 ghz+ very long.
Yeah well burning out a CPU is rare unless it reaches above 95C for extended periods, I've never seen my CPU temp past 75C, and lately I get it running 58-77 F idle up to 89-111F overload instead of 158 F overload (like during games).
My video card is also running much cooler too, same for system chipset and ram, leaves plenty of room for overvoltage and OCing by just air conditioner. I insulate the case with cloth to avoid condensation and I seal off the rest so it vents and recycles. -20C easy
Every 10C halves a chips life, so by dropping the temp just 20C like going to watercooling, you can quadrouple the lifespan.
In theory CPUs, GPUs and RAM should last forever if kept cool enough. When the electrons gain kinetic energy from heat they damage the medium which they're traveling in, increasing the voltage increases the signal strength = more electrons but they must be traveling with less force so that damage doesn't occur as easily. This is why overvolting requires lower temps.
@FrosDOwnz Well water cooling isn't actually doing much better, and well you don't water cool ever anyway- Maybe you're referring to mineral oil- like an aquarium PC. Either way doesn't work unless you have a Radiator or some refrigerant! That would be my suggestion for all your CRAZY COOLING NEEDS! Now if you want to pay a ton- run into a radiator in a freezer and the submerging liquid= that stuff that they used in the movie "The Abyss" to breath under water. It's super costly, but it's ballin!
you are little bit a foul :D how can you know is it stable or not if you haven't tested it and made torture test with prime45 or orthos for about 3 hours :D and if it doesn't turns off than you can say it is stable DAMN !
Hell yes!! Stick your case next to the AC and recycle the cool air, I've dropped my chipset down to 35F, P4 CPU down to 58-108F from 3.2 to 4.17 Ghz and I have my DDR2 RAM running 1040 mhz instead of 800 at 2.25v from 1.8v, I've also been able to overvolt using pencil mod and OC my card a good 30-40%+ to match up with the 7900s and 9500GT. Even with the heavy OC, crappy stock cooler and such, I haven't seen the temps rise much beyond 80C, which they used to get about 90C stock without cooling.
i have the same mobo it doesn't have the vcore, ram voltage, timings, and other voltages. but i did get my core 2 duo e6550 from 2.3 - 2.9 but now thats a power issue :P
I now have P5KPL-CM because the pins on my VM got bent so I had to switch. It now has ram voltage, motherboard chipset, graphics chipset, CPU can't really be increased but I never tried the PCI Express frequency.
alright cause mine is dusty, and it keeps making a noise like the fan is hitting against something.....it did it before and i got it replaced 6 months ago by io software in flint, and it stopped since then and its doing it again..
You can likely remove it very easily if it has those type of push button screws, line up the arrows and pull them individually and then remove it and clean it (under the blades and blow through the fins). Otherwise you should check it to make sure the blades don't come in contact with any objects, and try compressed air/can of duster.
Remember kids, if you don't have a custom motherboard then you can't overclock! And for people wondering if they can overclock a laptop, "No you cant."
No the CPU multiplier is dependent on the Front Side Bus speed, if you think like that though that 340 is 3.4ghz and try OCing it'll likely be unstable or overheat because I cannot exceed 260-270 multiplier on my CPU.
Video is terribly full of errors and misleading info. First of all i hope thats not your PC cause its terrible. Next you talk about changing the CPU Multiplier. You have a locked Multi on that chip, and bios. You are simply adjusting the Frequency. You can not have a Multiplpier of 200-250 as you say. Telling people not to touch that other stuff? What other stuff your bios is not set for over clocking. Please learn more before showing people how to melt there pc's with stock cooling.
No. People always exaggerate these things about cpus. It will not decrease or increase the life of your cpu dramatically unless you raise or lower the voltage of your cpu...and even after that it will not decrease or increase the life of your cpu by more than a day. lol. as long as the voltage is safe and is under intel's maximum safe voltage and temps are lower than 65 degrees celsius it WON'T change the lifespan of your centrah processing unit.
hey can i use some program to keep cool my cpu ( i mean will it help) ? cuz before i overclock i want to know how to keep it save cuz i dont wanna damage it :S.
When you change the clock frequency you have a linear increase or decrease in temperature.
Really if you want to keep your CPU cooler, turn on the air conditioning or something to get cooler air if its air cooling or buy better cooling. You can always buy a better fan than the stock for $15-30, get a good one with copper heatsinks because that's where the money is.
That is not the mulitplier. Multipliers usually range between 8-10. You can lower the muliplier on regular cpus but can't raise it unless you have an extreme. What you just raised was your fsb (front side bus frequencey.)
Oh I see, your right. Because the multiplier is the CPU multiplied by the FSB. FSB overclocking however is more stable and safer than overclocking the CPU by multiplier alone. I thought my mobo didn't support FSB oc, thanks!
Your motherboard might not support CPU overclocking, if the option is grayed out. If your Bios is gray, then its gray, it doesn't have to be any particular color.
There are some chances but with better cooling, skills and tricks learned from trial and error, and proper technique, you can prevent 95% of negative occurances.
The proper way is to do it slowly and to find the wall, where above it becomes unstable, then back off some and see if your temps are good.
Sometimes it'll freeze, it depends what kind of mechanism the hardware uses to protect itself, my Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT will completely freeze to cool off.

@FrosDOwnz 65-69? Holy fu... I overclocked it on 2.5 GHz now and the temperature is like 25 Celsius.
Looks like I'm gonna overclock it to 2.7 now. Thanks!
xXNightmareXxPRRP 1 year ago
@xXNightmareXxPRRP The architecture is much different on our processors. Mine runs ~30 celsius idle and up to 50 celsius on load (120 F).
Overclock it as high as it'll go, but your going to reach a wall simply because not enough voltage is being supplied to meet the new real-time energy demands of the processor. It creates an annoying constraint when you can't up the voltage any.
FrosDOwnz 1 year ago
@FrosDOwnz Alright... Yeah, I get it. My voltage is 450W. I overclocked it with nTune and in BIOS, it went like 2.85 GHz. Though the processor is already old like 4-5 years.
xXNightmareXxPRRP 1 year ago
@xXNightmareXxPRRP Thats actually the wattage. Processor age doesn't matter unless it was overheating (70-80 celsius or higher) and electromigration took effect after thousands of hours powered on in such a state.
Every 10 celsius reduces a semiconductors lifespan by half, but since most CPUs will long outlast their reasonable use, and stock CPUs are unlikely to fail even within a century.
FrosDOwnz 1 year ago
@xXNightmareXxPRRP I mean since most CPUs are unlikely to fail you shouldnt have to worry about it. Just wing it. By the way the voltage is more like 1.1v or something. On my CPU it's 1.3-1.4 volts max.
FrosDOwnz 1 year ago
@FrosDOwnz 1.3 volts here I think, it said in BIOS. Anyways, in BIOS, when I go to the CPU preferences, I get a multiplier shown ( minimum 5, max 11 ), above it, there's a drop menu which shows how many times it'll be multiplied by 11. There, at the drop menu, it shows max 400 MHz. Should I go for it, though that's insane because it's 4+ GHz. I'm not sure. And no, I'm not insane, I saw that.
xXNightmareXxPRRP 1 year ago
@xXNightmareXxPRRP You have options for the CPU multiplier (5-11) and the Front Side Bus frequency (200-400). The FSB is probably quad pumped or something, and mine also 'allows' up to 400 but I'm only using 250 because my mobo's FSB is quad pumped and then 4 ghz is the most this CPU is stable at. So just go up slowly until your CPU is just the slightest bit unstable in Windows and then pull back 20 megahertz and your set.
FrosDOwnz 1 year ago
@FrosDOwnz At the moment it's on 2.55 GHz and I added some voltage into it, it runs smooth, 5+ frames on Resident Evil 5 ( now 40+ ). But yeah, there's a visible difference. And also, I'm not sure if I'm asking the right person, but could I unlock a core on my CPU, as I've got a motherboard which has the UCC option but I never used it. I'm not into changing motherboards until you answer.
xXNightmareXxPRRP 1 year ago
@xXNightmareXxPRRP Don't worry about it, I'll try to keep my replies very consistent, but I should have answered this yesterday. Keep pushing up the clockspeed and voltage, as long as temperatures are low you wont damage it. Once you start seeing a slight bit of instability, lower the clockspeed and voltage enough to where you can be sure it'll stay stable. And I'm not sure about core unlocking because I've never had an AMD, but Google "motherboard unlock core" and the first result should help.

@michael4sumaher Unnecessary to check voltage if frequency isnt increased more than 15-25%. The temperatures were already checked long before hand, and they aren't too high, plus increasing frequency by one takes too long, it's easiest to do it in steps until the motherboard doesn't POST and then lower until fully stable.

@caseybar You will not damage your processor unless it exceeds 80-90 C for extended periods of time. I do not recommend over 67-75 celsius. You can unlock it and see how high it can reach. Use speedfan to check the temperature. Then, stress test it with Stress Prime 2004 Beta Orthos Edition or whichever multicore game or program of your choice. Make sure it uses 2 cores or you will not be able to really know if your processor is stable.

@MrWildfire92 @MrWildfire92 I already have a great CPU cooler, 120 F on load w/out AC and merely 60-70 F on load with, down to 34 F idle.
Try to beat that with your fancy liquid cooling.. not the 120 F, but the 60 F, because watercooling is also limited to ambient temperature same as air cooling.
But... while it may seem to work, if it hits 32 F the water will freeze, and you'll be fucked.

@14u2nvJohnny Yes, but Dell's motherboard's BIOS/CMOS does not support CPU overclocking or changing FSB. [usually?]. You will have to download speedfan and choose the correct PLL (try out different ones depending on your motherboard, they won't hurt) and the advantage is you can overclock from WITHIN Windows so you can see the speed increase immediately. The disadvantage is that software overclocking is neither as stable nor reliable.
Speedfan can do this to a limited extent + monitor temps.

@bigblack284 Air conditioning helps very much, over -50 F on temps and best of all it's simple and free. It's summer in Vegas so the air is very dry and I could keep it like this for hours on end. Try to reach 4.25 ghz on a Prescott with room-temperature water in your water cooling setup... you'll eventually get like 120-130+ F and constant crashes. If I had a watercooling setup I'd set the reservoir next to the A/C to get near-freezing cold water without a hitch.
FrosDOwnz 1 year ago
I do admire your AC Idea though- If you would make a video on how you did it, or if you have one already; link it sometime as I'm to lazy and tired ATM to look for myself! I still feel like I said liquid cooling is just a visual stimulant rather than a proper means of cooling unless you really do your homework! Its like you have to replace the warm/.hot liquid constantly to really make it do it's job!
juicyjuicejosh 2 years ago
Liquid is more dense, and has greater viscosity.
Water has a high specific heat, and both absorbs and releases heat efficiently.
Air has the problem that it cannot affect the warmest parts of the heatsink, which is at the bottom right next to the chip...
Liquid cooling takes care of that, the block stays cooler easier.
The A/C can be done but you must completely seal off your PC from warm outside air so it doesn't condensate. Since the air is dry here I don't get much condensation.
FrosDOwnz 2 years ago
well but playing games is not 100% torture test it is just 50% of cpu usage and it doesn't even get to the max load temps and what so ever .....
tukuma2vsk 2 years ago
It uses '50% of CPU' in HT but HT raises the load temps up 10C. It is 100% torture test because it stresses the CPU as much as any other program, especially if you lower all the settings and the resolution to reduce the dependence on the GPU.
I was idling 38-50C with load up to 64-75C.
Now I'm reaching 12-25C up to 48-50C with additional cooling.
FrosDOwnz 2 years ago
Is that dual core? Or Hyperthreading?
HT has a singular virtual core efficiency of approximately 88-105%+ (In perfect situations hyperthreading can boost multithreaded (2 virtual cores used or more) applications by 30-50%, for just adding 5% die area [chip size]) depending on load balancing, cache, frequency, bandwidth and memory.
If you want to torture test your CPU, try media encoders that take advantage of multiple threads such as Mediacoder, or try Swiftshader.

juicyjuicejosh 2 years ago
Your CPU must have had terribly inadequate cooling to begin with. Overclocking alone isn't enough to raise the temperature that drastically unless the heat dissipation is minimal.
I've never seen my Pentium 4 beyond 76C, and that is too hot for most other processors, anything over 90-95C for any lengthy time is permanently damaging to a CPU, and every 10 celsius up halves a lifespan, every 10 celsius down doubles it.
The CPU would have burned out at it's regular temps pretty soon anyways. ~80+
FrosDOwnz 2 years ago
um no it's not overclocked, and I've always averaged about 90 C - it's a cool 65 right now :) guess it's all fixed up
juicyjuicejosh 2 years ago
@juicyjuicejosh
90 C is the threshold for damage, and 65 is the max thermal specification for most processors.
Unless that's your GPU, it's not too good. Every 10 C halves lifespan, 20 C quarters, and 30 C eighths...
It would be a good idea to invest in an aftermarket cooler such as Zalman and use just a pea sized dab of Artic Silver, Ceramique or MX-5 before applying the heatsink/fan cooler.
OCing wouldn't have much stability above 60 C, at 70+ C my processor can't stand 4 ghz+ very long.
FrosDOwnz 2 years ago
Overclocking= Cool it better ur gonna burn out ur CPU boi
juicyjuicejosh 2 years ago
Yeah well burning out a CPU is rare unless it reaches above 95C for extended periods, I've never seen my CPU temp past 75C, and lately I get it running 58-77 F idle up to 89-111F overload instead of 158 F overload (like during games).
My video card is also running much cooler too, same for system chipset and ram, leaves plenty of room for overvoltage and OCing by just air conditioner. I insulate the case with cloth to avoid condensation and I seal off the rest so it vents and recycles. -20C easy
FrosDOwnz 2 years ago
Every 10C halves a chips life, so by dropping the temp just 20C like going to watercooling, you can quadrouple the lifespan.
In theory CPUs, GPUs and RAM should last forever if kept cool enough. When the electrons gain kinetic energy from heat they damage the medium which they're traveling in, increasing the voltage increases the signal strength = more electrons but they must be traveling with less force so that damage doesn't occur as easily. This is why overvolting requires lower temps.
FrosDOwnz 2 years ago
@FrosDOwnz Well water cooling isn't actually doing much better, and well you don't water cool ever anyway- Maybe you're referring to mineral oil- like an aquarium PC. Either way doesn't work unless you have a Radiator or some refrigerant! That would be my suggestion for all your CRAZY COOLING NEEDS! Now if you want to pay a ton- run into a radiator in a freezer and the submerging liquid= that stuff that they used in the movie "The Abyss" to breath under water. It's super costly, but it's ballin!

Programs won't cool your CPU
When you change the clock frequency you have a linear increase or decrease in temperature.
Really if you want to keep your CPU cooler, turn on the air conditioning or something to get cooler air if its air cooling or buy better cooling. You can always buy a better fan than the stock for $15-30, get a good one with copper heatsinks because that's where the money is.

You also need to stress test the cpu to make sure it can handle the overclock at a stable temperature continuously at max load.

That is not the mulitplier. Multipliers usually range between 8-10. You can lower the muliplier on regular cpus but can't raise it unless you have an extreme. What you just raised was your fsb (front side bus frequencey.)

Oh I see, your right. Because the multiplier is the CPU multiplied by the FSB. FSB overclocking however is more stable and safer than overclocking the CPU by multiplier alone. I thought my mobo didn't support FSB oc, thanks!

Hi Bro, is there any chance of hardware damage from over clocking a PC?
Will it just shut down if it gets too hot?
squidfanny 3 years ago
There are some chances but with better cooling, skills and tricks learned from trial and error, and proper technique, you can prevent 95% of negative occurances.
The proper way is to do it slowly and to find the wall, where above it becomes unstable, then back off some and see if your temps are good.
Sometimes it'll freeze, it depends what kind of mechanism the hardware uses to protect itself, my Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT will completely freeze to cool off.

You want to hit whichever key is displayed for entering bios/settings/cmos or whatever it may be.
It might be DEL (delete), F1, F2, F8 or whatever.
