  • it sounds like you're speaking some alien language...*sigh* i wish i could understand technical terms like these.

  • @Droopah1 Everything is easy once you know how so what DO you know as a starting point of reference?

  • @jabcreations not sure. just a very basic knowledge of computer innerworkings. my computer (sony vaio vpccw17fx and yes, its a laptop) isn't very good for games, but after recent research, its a really shit idea to overclock a laptop. so i guess im on my own here. thanks for trying to help, though.

  • @Droopah1 Generally you should be able to get at LEAST an extra 200 MHz without having to use voltage. If you accidentally goof something up so long as you only change the FSB (and don't touch voltage at ALL) even if the computer blue screens it'll reboot just fine.

    If you want a laptop that doesn't suck at gaming AMD's A-Series start at $430, go to Newegg --> Laptops --> Advanced Search --> CPU-Type and choose "AMD A-Series".

  • @jabcreations thanks. also, on a side note, would keeping my CPU cooler speed up its performance a bit? because it sometimes gets a little hot so i was considering getting another fan or another way to cool it down.

  • @Droopah1 You should have a DIRECT CPU heatsink/fan, at least one exhaust on the backside right next to the CPU and good airflow being sucked in from the bottom front MINIMALLY. I also highly recommend a side panel fan and top exhaust fans (heat rises). Not all CPU's from the same die are created equally, you may just have a hot CPU so-to-speak, look up aluminum versus copper heatsinks. Generally lowering the temps increases the ability to overclock though keep in mind some CPU's cant.

  • @jabcreations okay, thank you.

  • my computer crashes when i try to accept the end user licence agreement under the performance tab

  • @MegaHumanbean No idea, I can't answer anything in regards to crashes. You can try crap cleaner, downclocking anything overclocked, etc. Sometimes it's just a bad install of the OS (which happens to me occasionally with certain things).

  • @jabcreations k thx for the reply

  • my nvidia control panel doesnt have performance :\

  • @TehShadower Did you install nTune and do you have a dedicated Nvidia graphics card installed? If you're not sure get a copy of GPUz to determine your video card's model number.

  • i have a nVIDIA RIVA TNT M64

  • @gibsonr65 That was released around 1998, I hope you're not gaming with that these days!

  • Comment removed

  • if you do a moderate underclock can you harm your computer i really really doubt you can but i just wanted to make sure

  • @fergieboy10 I was able to underclock my 8800GT's GPU to 280MHz and the memory to as low as 300MHz.

  • I've got a Celeron CPU 1.6GHZ and I wanna get atleast 2.4Ghz.

    The question is Do you think this overclock is safe?

    I dont wanna destroy my PC that is ok!

  • what if i dont have the Proformance part on the Nvidia panel

  • @CrunkIsNeverDead022 What if people read the annotations that cover 90% of the video the first second it begins playing?

  • i dont have the performance tab,what do i do, i wanna overclock my cpu please help

  • umm i dont see that manage motherboard option but i see performance tab

  • How do you how much to drag your MHz? I don't get it :[

  • @ImClichA If you've never OCed a particular part 1~3 MHz each time, apply and if it's stable repeat. Once you know the max stable OC THEN you can directly OC to it.

  • AFX

  • hey i have amd 64 1.6 ghz and i move it all way to the right and it gives me 2 ghz and my cpu is 28 celcius only i think i cud go up to 2.2-2.4 ghz but its all way to the right lol and voltages are locked and i have no any overclocking options in bios how can i overclock my cpu more?

  • i got a 2002 gateway and overclocked at 3.06 GHz core processcer

  • do need a better psu for high overclocking i have a q8300 at 2.5ghz once i get to about 2.7 it dies

  • @progameruk1 Most people hit a problem with going about 19 or 20X on FSB multipliers and have to drop something else by one to go further...sometimes might be RAM and sometimes might be bridge speed. You're using Intel so I'm not sure.

  • @jabcreations i fink its the volts i need to adjust. i have 3gb of ram.

  • @progameruk1 On AMD systems you have to drop the HT Multiplier by 1 to increase the HT Clock (FSB on Intel I think) beyond 19. I don't think voltage is necessary for about 300 MHz unless you have a quirky CPU. Be very careful with voltage OC and only use it on your CPU and keep the increases minimal. However don't take only my word for it.

  • @jabcreations i dont think its the volts i increased the fsb an it didnt change from its stock 1.25v from got to 2.7ghz from 2.5ghz temps were going no higher then 55 but it still frooze =s

  • @progameruk1 My last Intel CPU was a P4 2.26 GHz with a 533 bus and RDRAM 1066 long ago in the days of socket 478. I simply can not help you with this.

  • When i slowly scroll the MHZ tab, it resets back to where it was in the first place after i applied it.. any help?

  • it wont let me install ntune it says cant find file path. what do i do??

  • @Geetarist2009 Look up the error message on a search engine, use "double quotes around the error message" to find pages addressing the specific issue.

  • I just watced your vid on OC CPU on the nvidia control panel. Its pretty basic using nvidia's CP The problem is when i first accessed and OC there wasnt any problems. Now when i OC to the same spot, my computer like shuts off but not totally. Is this happening because I am OC too much (aka to an unstable point). Im trying to run my q6600 to 2.6 from 2.4 (stock) and eventually raise it to 3.0 or even 3.2. Also can you keep the CPU OC'd even after restarting/shutting down? if so how?

  • @NgCommaRoy Not sure, every CPU has stability limits, even mine will only OC stably regardless of voltage I've added past a certain point. You may have to add voltage but that's where you're on your own as far as advice from me; I try to help people up to that point but with voltage OC you can destroy computer parts if you don't know what you're doing.

  • @NgCommaRoy Comments are hidden until I approve or delete them to keep genocidal commies in their place. Ask your question in a single comment, if it's more then you really should should post on a hardware forum.

  • hey ive got an AMD athlon  6000+ 3.10 Ghz could i get 3.5 without touching voltages?

  • Kitty! :D

  • I've got an AMD Sempron LE-1300 Dual Core at 2.3Ghz...my goal is to get it to at least 2.7Ghz and still be stable..do you think that is possible? *Any advice is very much appreciated :)

  • How about intel chipset?? pls tell me...

  • aw.. wtf.. i downloaded and installed ntune but.. whenever i try to open it.. my pc crashes.. why? i need helpT_T

  • if i overclock my cpu speed from 1.6ghz to like 3ghz will my pc break?

  • if i overclock my i5 750 from 3.2 ghz to 3.5ghz will i have to increse my voltage ???

    plzzzz reply

  • @faizan221 Maybe, I wouldn't willingly buy Intel until they changed their socket switching ways though.

  • Hey bro, mine is 1.4ghz can i overclock it to 2.0ghz or higher???

  • @aerocratz Drop your HT multiplier from 10x to 9x to get your HT clock to be able to go over 219 and remain stable...however at that point you may have to add voltage which is the point where you could potentially fry something so tread lightly. ;-)

  • 1.20GHz can overclocking to? i need speed please to play Game online becoz very lag: need fan to pc? please reply

  • @pckkdpn94 Read the annotations.

  • @jabcreations hi!! im kinda nuub on overclocking :D can u pls help me sir.. hr is my spec got an intel e4500 core2duo 2.2ghz, is it safe to overclock it to 2.7ghz without frying any of my hardware? and will my system be stable overall? tnxx so much

  • @kintatzu333 So long as you don't touch voltages the worst thing that could happen is having to reboot to your OS such as Windows; that's basic overclocking. Advanced OC which I don't advise for most people is slightly adding voltage to only the CPU (which could potentially physically destroy hardware). Expert overclocking involves adding voltage to all sorts of components and I can't stress not doing that unless you really already know what you're doing.

  • @kintatzu333 how do you making about overclocking about 2,000mhz

  • Hello brother... my computer AMD sempron(tm) 1.20GHz. Can teach me over cloking like write word must press to overclocking exp: start>xxx>xxx>xxx becoz i very stupid english

  • @pckkdpn94 Read the annotations.

  • lol fried my pc :D

    overcloked from 201 to 3,000 xD

    went up to 120 degrees C and the whole thing melted xD

  • @x1expert1x

    took a picture? lol if not shame on you

  • my screen on my laptop keeps flickering what can i do? please help. thanks.

  • never mind, put setting back to norm (like before) and let laptop cool down :D

  • I guess mine doesnt want to be any faster. I have a pentium 4 3.0 I overclocked it by 1 like you said the screen filled with lines it was still working but you couldnt see what you were doing. So I guess I have a different problem great video by the way maybe the Gpu couldnt keep up with the cpu haha

    TJ

  • @bigbear587 Try to OC via your bios then.

  • OK man i think its stable. and now i can play Gears of War with no lag or errors on my old nvidia geforce6150se the game is amazing even on LOW settings recommend play it lol

  • i OC'ed my CPU from 201. to 221.785Mhz

    CPU core frequency is at 2661Mhz. i wanna know if this is safe ?

    tryed to OC my nvidia onboard graphics but i get errors during games like Gears of War i wanted to play this game but my GPU sucks and i cant buy a decent video card righ now

  • @crackkn Note video title word: safe. Safe != stable, safe means no dead parts. If it's not stable then decrease the OC.

  • my control panel has no performance button

  • My current motherboard clock speed is 201mhz

    HT multiplier 3x

    PCIe clock 2500 mhz

    and CPU clock speed 201 mhz

    amd athlon 64 3800+ 3gb Ram

    i want to make changes but i never tryed this before what is the best performance settings for my pc?

    please help

  • @crackkn Increase the bus from 201MHz by one~two increments. You'll likely hit a wall around 19~20MHz OC on the bus past which point you'd have to get in to voltage overclocking which I don't recommend for the inexperienced.

  • very helpful thank you :)

  • My Phenom 9500 is very hot, at normal load it's 56C and under heavy load it reaches 66. It is reaching those temperature overlocked or not. Can anyone help me?.

  • @Envisez 1.) Is the heat sink properly mounted...e.g. is the bottom making full contact?

    2.) Are you using thermal paste between the CPU and heatsink?

    3.) Is the heatsink fan running? If so what is the RPM (bios or AMD Overdrive).

  • 1. Yes

    2. I bought a HP computer, every came as stock so i'm not sure...

    3. yes it is running

    I removed the heatsink fan and cleaned out a thick patch of dust, now the temperatures during idle is around 42C. under normal load its around 48C. Eventually I will be buying a new heatsink fan though.

  • @Envisez First Phenoms are 64nm where as Phenom II CPU's are 45nm. Add to the fact that if you BUY an already built system it will hardly ever be as good as a system you can build yourself.

  • i use a standard cooling system would over clocking be same without any permanate damage to the CPU?

  • @kaxtar1 Check AMD/Intel's specs on maximum operating temperatures for their CPU's.

  • I put an ice dispenser on my processor and crank it up all the way it gets sooo PRO :D

  • wat about graphics card

  • Look up 'GPU overclocking' and you'll find my other video.

  • Unfortunately, my MOBO uses ATI and Ntune just won't work. I have a "Nettop" that Im using for my HTPC, and it's utilizing an ATOM 330 @1.6ghz. I'd really like to be able to Overclock this CPU even a little. So is there a "Universal" type of CPU OC Software that you know of that can increase the FSB or what ever would help at all? I really appreciate it. And I've subscribed to ur channel.

    Thanks Again, X~

  • @xtraflo There is no universal OC program otherwise you wouldn't be asking about it.

    I haven't owned an Intel CPU since the 533 bus.

    Try looking up 'Intel Atom overclock'.

    Your best bet for faster speed is to disable virtual memory, make sure you have at least 2GB of RAM for XP (over 9,000 GB for Vista), and if you can afford it an SSD hard drive with native TRIM support.

  • Hey, dude help me please When I hit apply after overclocking it say "FBS modification failed, restored to orignal settings" please help how do I fix it?

  • @dilberto3 You don't have nTune installed, you have to manually download and install it otherwise it won't show up in the control panel.

  • I have AMD Phenom II X2 550 BE and my bios doesnt seem to support it i can only do AI overclock to 10% which is frequence from 3.11 GHz to 3.4 GHz (Or something like that i dont remember) But ppl say you can overclock this processor to over 3.5 Ghz, can i do that with this software? And i have a water cooler, so temperatures wont be a prob.

  • @CheatEnginer Increase the voltage...at your own risk...and only to the CPU itself by minimal margins.

  • Im kind of a noob on this voltage changing thing. If you have time, could you please think how much voltage i should increase? A website says the stock voltage is 1.425V on this processor.

  • @CheatEnginer AMD Overdrive, beyond that read. I don't know all, even though I seem like I do.

  • Can i overclock my Notebook?

    1.8Gh'z to 2.2Gh'z

    It's an AMD turion(tm) 64 mobile (suports 64 bits, etc )..

  • How to overclock my Grahic Card if nTune dont support nForce 520LE chipset ?

  • That's the lowest/cheapest nForce 5xx chipset however I suspect that you're NOT using an nVidia GPU. Also you're likely to have onboard video and if so it's unlikely it can be overclocked.

  • @jabcreations im using nvidia GPU i have 9600GT i can overclock it but i get an error message when i start nTune , i just have to click OK and nvidia control panal starts but its very slow

  • Search, I'm not here to give free tech support for every possible error people will encounter.

  • Is it unsafe to overclock the pc from windows when the bios doen't let me overclock anything at all..?

  • It only means your bios sucks or your motherboard was intended for lower-end mainstream to entry level where overclocking is an option left out to cut costs.

  • It's a biostar gf8100m2+ Te..

  • Apparently it supports hybrid SLI which is as entry level as a system intended for any kind of SLI can get though I find it odd it wouldn't have anything in the bios to OC with. Gigabyte motherboards used to hide menus with CTRL+F1 for some reason. That's all I can tell you. It's still safe to OC in Windows so long as you follow the directions.

  • I did OC the CPU and the VGA with the nvidia control panel and it worked fine with COD4..

    But I left it OC'ed only for a few minutes because of that concern..

  • You can leave the OC on for years and nothing bad will happen so long as the voltage for the frequency is stable. If it doesn't have enough voltage it'll just crash. Too much voltage can destroy it. Hence why I recommend a 19-20-25MHz OC on the part I mentioned in the video.

  • Thank you really much..

  • i have ntune but no motherboard settings. i was able to overclock my videocard but i get no motherboard settings -_------

  • Then you DID NOT PAY ATTENTION!

  • i read all the annotations and payed close attention -_-

  • No you didn't because you would have known from 0:00 what to do.

  • you basicly said get ntune and open it. then click on motherboard settings but I DO NOT HAVE THAT! my point: do i have a diffrent later version

  • At 0:00 what does the top-right annotation say?

  • oh -_- ok what a north bridge set -_-

  • Everything YOU need to know is written in the directions, FOLLOW THEM!

    83K views...I do NOT have the time repeat myself; hence the video. If you don't know what something is look it up!

    The valuable lesson you're supposed to learn is self-sufficiency. If you can't do a simple search query or follow directions then you're not going to go far in meat-space. When you have a question that is NOT covered by the video (the ENTIRE video) then feel free to ask.

  • Will this method work with core i7 920, and how far can i overclock core i7 with that program?

  • No, Intel has locked out nVidia from making north bridge chipsets so you'll have to OC in a different manner. With a socket 1366 check your motherboard's drivers CD, it's highly unlikely that an OC utility would not be included.

  • mine wont say adjust motherboard settings---

  • Read the instructions!

  • Profiles aren't simple though they are not impossible. It'll work if you do it correctly, look up a tutorial online.

  • Then you paid no attention to the video.

  • you rock

  • any tips please! How to overclock 9300m gs cards?its keeps returning to default value.i used nvidia system tools.

  • it might be your mobo

  • thanks for the help... the problem was that i wasn't getting enough Voltage to the RAM.. its at 2.1V now.. and its all good

  • Me + RAM + voltage = no go...but if it worked for you without nuking your computer then good stuff! :-)

  • thanks man i got my cpu from 2.3 ghz to 2.4 ghz without any problem

    i tried higher but it didn't want to let me

  • nice vid

  • Thank you thank you. :-)

  • although, I tried it it didn't really help (? :P) and so i set it some higher and it epicly failed lol

    but still good explained!

  • Some times you just don't get much if any real overclocking headroom. We're only guaranteed the stock manufacturer's clock speeds, anything more is beyond what we paid for.

  • Ahh ye packard bell lol :p but hey thanks for this anyway since if I really did it I think my laptop would be fried lol

  • is there any s/w for overclocking...?

  • Try that again, this time in a way we can understand you.

  • hey, you seem to be a very bright young man and i am having difficulties overclocking my AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ .. ill give you my system specs.. i only wanna overclock to 3.0 GHz specs: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 4GB DDR2 1066 Zalman CNPS7500-CU CPU cooler Nvidia GeForce EN8600GT Magic 3 case fans (single 120mm dual 80MM) 500GB SATA drive AMD 780G chipset ASUS M3A78-EM mother board im trying to use the AMD overdrive utility.. i really need help and it woul be greatly appreciated
  • By watching the video you already know what to set though with an AMD northbridge chipset you'll want to download and use AMD's Overdrive.

  • my processor is 2.7GHz :-) thats 2.6

  • @xmodrock you cant overclock your preocesor at that ghz i had the exact procesor and when i fried my pc so try a smaller ghz

  • H! CAN YOU help me I HAD BIOSTAR 850g but my I have new pc hp but I cant run on my bios whit push of delete when it strats up DO you know how can I open bios ???

  • If you didn't build your computer yourself/bought an already built system then it'll likely be one of the function keys such as F10. Look at the startup screen to determine which one it is or just mash them all at the same time.

  • hello i have a Geforce 9600 gt and i does not show the "gpu" menu

  • Read the video annotations.

  • Ya i just needed to install my drivers (just installed Windows 7)

  • >__>

    The memory interface is the primary way to tell what class the video card is within it's generation, then GDDR type. I am not mad. You said 'no...' signaling you don't understand what I was talking about hence my restatement. Look up memory interface on the web.

  • I mentioned nothing about memory or clock speeds. I was talking about the MEMORY INTERFACE.

  • A nVidia GeForce 210 only has a 64 bit memory interface; it's rock bottom unless you consider integrated graphics.

    Keep in mind that you are not guaranteed any overclocking. Also some chips (CPU/GPU/etc) will OC more then others. You might simply have one that just won't run all that faster but if it worked at the default clocks then that's all they needed to let it leave to go to retail.

  • Use CPUz and if you can't tell what the motherboard model is from that get a flash light, program open up the side of your case, and look for the model number on the motherboard.

  • when i overclocked my amd sempron 3200 this way, but when I turn my computer off and turn it back on the overclock doesnt save. Can anyone help?

  • *IF* you had read the video comments you would know already that this is the INTENDED effect of OCing via the OS. Once you know WHAT settings you want *THEN* go in to the bios. If you do NOT know how to reset your bios then figure that out before you even DREAM about changing anything in it.

  • its not supposed to save

  • haha within 5 minutes, i loaded up "urban terror" a game i play frequently (when my system is not OC'ed), my system crashed and i got the blue screen of death, but of course when i rebooted windows, everything was fine again, and that's why it's called the "safe" method (for noobs like me)

  • Just lower your clock a little each time until you find a setting where your OC doesn't crash the game. Better cooling always helps with stability. Also if you're using an AMD chip but NOT a socket AM3 chip then upgrading to an AM3 should produce much more stable/higher OC from my personal experience.

  • Thanks. Yes, my next computer will definitely have much better cooling, this isn't the first time I have run into cooling-related issues with a laptop and I don't expect it to be the last, next time comes the water cooling, with a self-built desktop. Thanks for your time and advice.

  • I'm running my amd dual core laptop OC'ed from 1.7ghz to 2.13ghz, no freezing. The "reference clock" is running at 250 Mhz though, with a cpu multiplier of 8.0x. So i have overclocked it to the max.

  • people have been able to OC their Core i7 920 from 2.66 to 3.8 on air STABLE, lol that's 1,140 Mhz increase, pretty crazy.

    42% increase.

  • yea and u can do it on stock coolers too, but not recommended.

  • all of the i5s and i7s are the EXACT same thing. the only difference is that the cheaper ones lock at a certain Mhz and you cant overclock any higher.

  • your wrong. i5 doesnt have hyperthreading unlike the i7

  • excuse me but can i ask, why are people

    "super noobs" because they bought a Dell? I just bought an XPSx and ive been learning computers for quite some time now. I think that was a pretty MORONIC thing to say. Am I supose to think your

    'Super Cool" or sumthing for saying that?

  • The vast majority of computers I've fixed are Dells. People with greater technical skill almost always build their own computers. If you have a respectable amount of knowledge about computers in general you would know that Dell has long used proprietary parts to locking customers in to replacing things like motherboards and thus avoided that company. Same thing with old Pentium 3 HP rigs in example. I don't care if you think I'm cool, I care if you learned something new.

  • u get ripped off when u buy a dell thats why they call you that. if u look at the parts that comprise your dell ull realise that they are very cheap and you would save hundreds building it yourself!

  • When i open Ntune i have this type of ERROR: Unknown SEEPROM Device (DevId=1420c2)

    i have an AMD processor and NVIDIA Chipset and NVIDIA Southbridge!!! Please help me how can i fix this error:Unknown SEEPROM Device (DevId=1420c2) TNQ

  • Have you tried a search engine?

    Search Engine + "Unknown SEEPROM Device (DevId=1420c2)" = 264 results

  • ohhh man i have tried all...but still nothing :(

  • Uninstall and reinstall nTune. Not fixed? Then update drivers. Not fixed? Roll back drivers.

  • Uninstalled-NOT FIXED!!!!

    UPDATED All drivers-NOT FIXED!!!!

    but i can`t find an new driver for my BIOS i have an old version- 12.04.2007

    BIOS info:

    Brand:American Megatrends Inc.

    Version:0302

    Date:12.04.2007

    sorry for my bad english..

  • You can always reinstall Windows; it's simply not viable for me to help people with every error message they come across.

  • OK MAN...THENKS ANY WAY!!!!

  • I have onde 9500GT GDDR2 1gb

    550HZ Reals

    is safe? :D

  • Same i don't have motherboard settinfs either!!!

  • I downloaded Ntune, but i can only change the core bus and memory bus!!?

    (yes i have Nvidia graph gard)

  • Whenever I start to use ntune, my computer crashes. Any advice?

  • your graphics card is dieing or you need more ram :) same thing happened to me along with black screens on startup and login

  • i have a gtx 295 and 6 gb of ddr3 ram that isnt the reason for me.

  • me too. if you can figure it out please msg me

  • Read the error message, look it up online, and see if anyone else has already encountered and resolved the same problem.

  • Pentium(R) D CPU 2.66 Ghz ? i will overclock it to 3.2 Ghz is it possible to do it this?

  • way too much annotations LMAO

  • Way too many people asking me for clarifications to not have annotations. ;-)

  • are you sure this safe???

  • Adjusting voltage is what could potentially damage components. This method only freezes your computer forcing you to restart. Learn about the bios.

  • greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaat vid ^o^ oooo

  • swear jk awesome vid thank you

  • haha, super noobs who bought a dell...that made me laugh so hard.

  • when i dl'ed it i can only do the gpu settings... aww well

  • Then you don't have a motherboard with an nForce northbridge chipset.

  • i maxed out my voltage to 1.325 is that too much? could it burn? and how much could i overclock now? i have succesfully overclocked to 3.0ghz from 2,6ghz

  • I don't recommend changing the voltage and if you do the more you increase the voltage the shorter the lifespan CPU will function. You failed to specify a 2.6GHz what...there are dozens of CPU's the work at that clock.
