Most modern processors do not need optimization. Their performance allows them to perform most of the functions required by the average user. If you do decide to overclock the CPU, there are a few tips to keep in mind.
Instructions
Step 1
Make sure the CPU is stable. To do this, use the available utilities, for example Clock Gen. Open this program and run a CPU health check. If the program did not detect any malfunctions in the CPU, then proceed with the overclocking procedure.
Step 2
Open the BIOS menu by pressing the Delete (F2) key after turning on the computer. Select the Chipset Configurations or Advanced System Configurations menu. Find the item that displays the bus frequency of the central processor. Increase this figure by several tens of Hertz. In the event that you are tuning a dual-core processor, then symmetrically change the indicators of both cores. Sometimes it is necessary to activate the corresponding function for this.
Step 3
Save the new settings by selecting Save & Exit in the main BIOS menu. Once the operating system has loaded, reopen the Clock Gen program. Test the CPU again. If the test reveals no failures, repeat the cycle of increasing CPU performance.
Step 4
Sometimes it is possible to increase processor performance by changing the bus multiplier. This method is best used if there is no way to change the bus frequency. The fact is that increasing the multiplier sometimes leads to a sharp increase in the overall frequency of the CPU.
Step 5
Try to change the parameters of the processor using special programs. This method is not reliable. With some utilities, you can set CPU frequencies that are not supported by this device. This can cause it to overheat or break.
