How to Overclock a PC

With overclocking you can get more power out of your PC without upgrading. The concepts of overclocking are simple:

  • All mods are done in BIOS (press F3 or DELETE to access it at computer boot)
  • You need some good cooling - get a powerful, quality CPU fan
  • Most CPU's can't modify internal multiplier. You have to increase the FSB speed instead. Watch out, as this overclocks your RAM too.
  • Overclocking can damage your computer. Use caution!
