This i not my work i just ripped it off some forum. And all reps goes to the original post. Reps in my favour will be appreciated too !!!!!!!!!
I know that a huge amount users around know bout these but for the novice
here it is. There are other software which can do the same but i like this one.
Keep in mind that overclocking may damage your system.
Use it at your own risk !
This thread is dedicated to people with HP's, Emechines, Compaq, Dell, or any store bought computer, If you have had yours from a local computer shop, your uncle's brother, or something not store bought, then using ATI's ATITool which was built just for overclocking.... Most companies, like dell, block ATITool so you cant fry your CPU
First off, download Clockgen [http://www.cpuid.com/download/ClockGen.zip]
Secondly, download Cpu-z [http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpu-z-138.zip]
Now, go to CPU-z, and hit the "Mainboard" tab.
You should see something similar to this. Pay attention to what I circled.
Thats the Intel Chipset.
Now open clockgen. Go to PLL Setup, it asks you some information.
See where it says, "Not specified", click that tab. You see a bunch of numbers. Look at this chart:
Go here for a better compability list with mobo model # and also
it as a better guide than this one
ClockGen
See my number earlier? The 965 number? I basically look on that chart, and see where it matches up and take the number at the beginning. Mine would be 955/975, but why? It isn't updated with newer models. The 955/975 is also applied to 945. Additionally, most new intel based models carry this. When you use clockgen and select "9541XX", the XX there will be 3 other choices on this. The lowest number is if your CPU has a 133mhz fsb clock, middle is 200mhz, and highest is 266. If you don't know where your fsb clock is, go to CPU-z program main and it tells you.
From there, after you did that, open up the tab that says PLL Control. There you can adjust your clocks if you did it right.
Now don't get excited, now that you can adjust, if you can, but your memory can be a big factor on how far you can go. Go to your bios and set the memory on the lowest frequency possable, or your memory on a 1:1 bridge to the fsb.
If you don't got options, most likely not, just up the fsb a little. Try 10mhz at first (To the FSB), then open up "Orthos Stress Test" ( techPowerUp! :: Download Orthos Stress Prime 2004 )
Open up two of those, change the options to "Stress CPU Only", and the other one to "Stress ram and cpu". Let it run for at least 3 hours. While doing this, download Everest or Speedfan (google for downloads), and monitor your CPU temp. If it goes past 65, stop, go back to your stock settings.
Any questions or comments please feel free to post.
