hellow guys, im a newbie in overclocking, but i want to try doing overclock.
my spec is
i5 2500k
asrock p67 extreme 4
kingston 4gb X 2 (1333hz)
msi 560gtx twin frozer 2
silverstone strider 700watts
noctua nhu 12p se2

is my spec already enough to do overclocking? and how should i start the overclocking using the asrok extreme tuner? should i just increase the cpu ratio?

Hye all sifu, I am a real overclocking noob,want to overclock my laptop's cpu and gpu.here are the specs:
Intel Core2duo processor T6600 (2.20Ghz,800 MHz FSB)
Nvidia geforce G105M
CUDA Cores 8
Gigaflops 38
Processor Clock (MHz) 1600 MHz
Memory Specs:
Memory Clock (MHz) 500 (DDR2)/700 (GDDR3)
Standard Memory Config Up to 512 MB
Memory Interface Width 64-bit
Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec) 8 (DDR2)/11 (GDDR3)
RAM 4GB DDR2
Help me with it please..I want to save money from upgrading my laptop in the same time play games like crysis2..

Your laptop can't play crysis2 even if overclocked.The spec is to low and crysis2 require alot of hardware power that a laptop normally don't have.
I checked your laptop spec to run crysis2 and this is the result.

Should I overclock my E8400 to 3.6GHz for Photoshop performance? Or it won't do much? My heatsink it CM Hyper 212+. Thanks btw.

hey guys. i got something to ask,
I'm using P45 mobo and Q9550.

Is NB voltage =1.35v~1.4v safe/normal for OC?
or is it much depend on the temps? if so, what is the usually safe temp for NB?

I googled already and most of the results stated that 1.4v is normal when OCing. but still, I wanna know Malaysian people's opinion and point of view on this matter especially temps.

Any help is appreciated.

Keep your Northbridge Voltage to around 1.35 1.4V or so
Don't exceed that for long term usage

ok noted. setting it at 1.4075v. no option for 1.4v lol. but in windows shows 1.37v.

Seems like i can't hit 4GHz. adding more vcore to reach stable 4GHz is just too high for my air cooler.

Have to accept 3.8GHz.


Is the max core temps FOR IBT acceptable?

OK temperature
Sometime reducing vNB does help in stability

eh really? wish that could happen for my proc n mobo. haha.

hmm, but this test ran during night time. so the temp might go up in daylight, about 3~4C more.

and one more thing, is putting cpu vvt voltage higher than 1.4v safe?

Edited: after some tweaking in the bios (searched the settings for my mobo in google. ), i got 3.8GHz with less vcore (from +337.5mV down to +262.5mV) and heat.

Which way much better result?

FSB 1333
Bus speed 333
Multiplier 12
Total 4Ghz

Or

FSB 1600
Bus speed 400
Multiplier 10
Total 4Ghz

Cool to see you able to reduce vcore
VTT should be less then 1.4V

hi, noob here
i have an intel pentium 4 2.40 ghz processor..not sure if it's too old or what, i cant monitor the temperature..so do you think it's okay to overclock it? can tell me how much is the max to overclock?

Pointless to even bother ocing it

Can someone please give me a guide on how to overclock my PC? Here are the specs:

-Original CPU/Socket : Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 @2.66GHz 775 LGA
-Stepping : 6 (not sure if this is what's being asked...)
-Date : 02/04/2010
-FSB : 1066.6 MHz
-Clock Speed : 1600.0 MHz
-Voltage (CPU/RAM/Chipset/AGP) : 1.8 V
-Chipset : Intel P35/G33/G31 Rev. 10
-Ram Type/Speed/Timings : DDR2/
-Highest FSB : 1066.6 MHz
-Highest RAM : 4096 Mbytes
-Highest Clock Speed : i don't know
-Highest Vcore :
-Highest VDIMM :

Can this specs be eligible for overclocking?

hey guys, i want to ask if i change my cpu heatsink, did i need to format my window again?

and please teach me how to overclock, here's my spec:

Corsair ddr3 1333 2gb x2
Corsair ssd 60gb
WD 500gb Green
Cooler Master Silent Pro M 700W
