FREE! Advanced E-Course on Over Clocking your computer - A six part E-Course

Why would you want to Over Clock your computer?

There are different reasons for overclocking your processor and memory. For example you are in a test environment and need to know the maximum that your product will produce before failure. Or you are the type that has to push your equipment to the maximum. Maybe you are like me and are always one or two steps behind the latest and greatest and want the benefit of the latest and greatest. Or you have economic reasons for not upgrading and go the route of overclocking.

So before you start speeding up your processor and memory you should know what your tinkering will do to the computer.

Before you sign up for this course you will need a computer that allows you to overclock the processor and the FSB, to find out if your computer supports these functions you need to check the BIOS settings. Most BIOS settings for the processor speed and FSB are under the Advanced section. You are looking for the Processor Multiplyer and the FSB clock speed. If your computer does not have these settings your can not overclock the processor, memory, or change the FSB.

The first consideration before even reading the process of overclocking is what will this do to your equipment? Depends on what you do before you overclock your processor and / or memory. The main factor that will kill your computer (not just the processor and / or the memory) is HEAT.

When you increase the clock frequency you are in effect increasing voltage in the devices that make your computer work, cpu, memory, and anything connected to the main bus of the computer.

To keep from destroying the devices you need to consider cooling all the devices inside the computer case not just the processor or the memory.
