As a technical writer, he authored white papers and articles for Hewlett Packard and Intel. Since retiring, Murray has written several home-exchange travel articles for KnowYourTrade. He holds a bachelor's degree in philosophy from Santa Clara University. How to Successfully Speed Up a Processor.
Share on Facebook. Step 1 Download and install overclocking and stressing software. Step 2 Increase the bus speed by 5-percent increments until you reach an increase in clock speed of approximately 20 percent or between 2. Step 3 Stress test your final CPU clock-speed setting for stability using stressing software for no less than 12 hours before you decide to keep the settings.
Step 4 Shut down the power immediately if the operating system appears to be unstable. Although other overclocking software applications exist, CPU-Z and Prime95 are overwhelmingly recommended by virtually every overclocking club, forum and website.
Both are freeware links in Resources. The key to successful overclocking any CPU is to keep the processor as cool as possible. Accomplish this by replacing the factory heatsink with a liquid-cooled model, lapping the heatsink contact surface see Resources and installing as many fans as the computer case will allow. Use the overclocking software if possible if the Advanced page is unavailable. Well, sometimes this is just down to luck - no two CPUs, sets of RAM or motherboards will give exactly the same results.
But, if you follow our advice, get to know your hardware and are patient, you're on your way to getting the best results that your particular combination of hardware is able to deliver.
Don't scrimp on the power supply unit PSU One of the most important parts of the computer is the power supply. You might be lucky and find that these cheapies work okay, giving years of trouble-free service. However, when a PSU does break down it can take other components with it. So don't scrimp on the PSU. You may find that you need much less than you think.
Don't scrimp on RAM, either The type of RAM you're able to use will of course be totally dependent on the motherboard in your system but there are some rough and ready rules to understand.
Currently, prices for modern RAM modules are cheap and, from experience, the small saving made on generic RAM can be more trouble than it's worth. More on the ins-and-outs of that later on. What's a good CPU for overclocking? If you are starting off and haven't yet bought a system, then the CPU you choose will depend on your budget.
Read this guide thoroughly before making any changes and don't forget to print it out, too.
