| 1232049 | 2011-09-18 06:01:00 | I realise I know nothing about overclocking (except that my 'puter has it - it tells me during bootup it has been!). I understand it makes things go faster. But: What are you overclocking? When in the process of setting up a new system do you do this? How do you do it? So - thanks to anyone who is prepared to enlighten me. I appreciate the information. :) |

| 1232050 | 2011-09-18 06:14:00 | You make the cpu cycle quicker so that it processes faster is the simplest answer | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1232051 | 2011-09-18 06:28:00 | the last few issues of pc world have detailed this your best bet would be to get a hold of a copy :) | milkster1976 (16554) | ||

| 1232055 | 2011-09-18 07:29:00 | Basically your cpu clock (the speed which is "advertised" for lack of a better word) is: front side Bus times the multiplier. When you overclock you increase the value of either one or both (depending on your cpu) to get a higher clock out of your cpu. E.g I have a AMD 965 which has a front side bus speed of 200mhz. My multiplier is 17. This gives me a clock of 3400mhz or 3.4ghz. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1232056 | 2011-09-18 08:15:00 | Sometimes it will also involve decreasing voltages as well, otherwise it may run HOT! All done within the BIOS, long before the OS gets into the system. | Paul.Cov (425) | ||
