I suggest you Google your motherboard, RAM, CPU and GFX card and see what others have gotten to and how to do it, we don't know what you are running under there... | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||

| 510633 | 2006-12-30 12:54:00 | So can I overclock my Primera engine just by changing a few system settings. :waughh: You may have noticed that I was mentioning adding performance parts, which is slightly different from changing system settings. However the answer you your question is yes. Specialist garages will take your car and stick it on a dynamo and tune the ECU's (Electronic Control Unit's) settings. They can tune it for more fuel efficiency, or for more power, just like an overclock. These tunes are normally done after you have added performance parts but can also be done on your factory parts. You could do this yourself but you would be looking at an astronomical amount of money to buy the equipment. Another setting that you could change is your sparkplug timing (gap between the main plug and the arm). An incorrect setting can decrease performance, where as the right gap will give more effcient performance. And there are more e.g. changing engine oil specs, transmition oil specs. So we have the CPU (Engine) and we can overclock (tune) that CPU (engine). This can be done by changing a few settings such as clock frequency (fuel injector rate, air ram rate etc) or by changing the CPU multiplier (performance mods). When overlclocking (adding performance parts) you can only go so far (ghz...bhp) before you need to change the voltage (professional tune on dynamo). Sorry to hijack this thread, I was just defending my comparison between Overclocking and Tuning. |

| 510636 | 2006-12-30 20:39:00 | Oh bonkers... too late to edit :badpc: I have just found this (www.overclock.net) site that you might be interested in Hitech. It says you can't OC the traditional way (settings in the BIOS) but you should be able to using software though... I personally don't like the idea of using software to OC... |

| 510637 | 2006-12-31 00:35:00 | I guess I am conservative but I view overclocking to be a bit like running a car engine at beyond the recommended RPM. It is a risking business (is it not?) that may take it's toll on hardware. Manufacture processors have developed to a point, where most lower model CPU's are marked down for marketing purposed opposed to "necessity" (with the exclusion of multiplier locking). Yes your view is very conservative and very outdated. |

| 510638 | 2006-12-31 04:52:00 | Adrian, The Sempron 64 3000+ (1.8ghz) can go to 2.2ghz with out a voltage change normally, so yours should go a bit higher before it needs a voltage change. Actually the Sempron 3000+ is a better overclocker then its counterparts (the winchester version anyway). I have got mine upto 2.5ghz stable and even 3ghz if I push it :p |

| 510639 | 2006-12-31 21:08:00 | I read an article about underclocking a P4. It ran quieter as it took less fan(s) to keep it cool, used less power and he reckoned he noticed no different in real world performance. Its your cpu, you are entitled to do with it what you want, I have played around with overclocking and most cases, have noticed little difference in performance of the pc. Of course, I am not a gamer where FPS is everything. As to improving the performance of my car, I can think of better ways of spending my money. Again of course, there is a big industry built on improving the performance of vehicles. I don't think I'll put a free flow exhaust system on my joe blow Primera (now is it a 96KW or 110KW engine, I'm not sure). |
