Intel Overclocking Basics Part 1: Introduction

Preparation 1. Clean your system with a can of preassurized air. 2. Know your components. Download/run CPU-Z P5LD2 E6300 (60.1 degrees celcius max, max multiplier 7) 3. Download temperature monitor and stresstest software. PC Probe II (Asus) Prime95 4. Research. 5. Update your BIOS (be careful!). If there is anything I missed, questions, or something you want me to go deeper in depth with, please leave a comment. Note: This was mainly geared towards Intel CPUs, specifically the Core 2 line. For AMD CPUs, you have to additionally adjust the HT Link. For Core i7, I haven't had the pleasure yet, so you might need to research that before beginning. Note 2: Most branded computers Dell (with exceptions), HP, Compaq, etc, have their overclocking features locked by the manufacturer. So if you have one of these computers, there is a chance you won't have access to the overclocking options in the BIOS. I don't believe there is a way around this. ==================================== Links CPUZ www.cpuid.com (Asus Motherboards Only) BIOS Updates, PC Probe & Manuals www.asus.com Prime95 www.mersenne.org SpeedFan www.almico.com (Intel Processors Only) Processor Specs & Datasheets www.intel.com
