Intel Overclocking Basics Part 2: Preparation H

[88beauzeau88]

For doing bios updates, if your asus board has ez flash 2 utility, I'd recommend using that for updating the bios. Whatever you do, repeat, WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT USE ASUS UPDATE FOR BIOS!!! Either use the AFUDOS tool that this author recommends, or use ez flash 2 from within the tools menu of bios if it's there.

Thank's 5 stars. Hey a question will this make games load faster?

Although, I haven't run any benchmarking tests on before/after effects, increasing your CPU's core speed will allow it to do more calculations per clock cycle, allowing the processor to process things faster. That being said, these days, another bottlenecking factor is the hard drive. However, overclocking is the only component of these two that you can upgrade for "free" with overclocking.

Actually, kenny overclocked successfully so let me ask him to comment on the change in performance.
