    What exactly does he mean by "if it hangs"?

  2. azeller09 says:

    Is this Gigabyte GA-P55-USB3 good for overclocking?

  3. JakeDylanReview says:

    hey how do you increase the fsb untill it hangs then increase the voltage untill its stabe? then your done?

  4. Xuvial says:

    Question, does repeatedly testing, rebooting, etc and getting hangs hurt/shorten the CPU by any chance?

  5. Xuvial says:

    The principle behind overclocking is to get free performance – it’s only "risky" if you don’t learn how to do it right – and mind you, overclocking is fairly simple to understand.
    The lifespan of a CPU is well above 10 years and almost nobody keeps the same PC for more than 5-6 years without risking falling WAY behind technology. If done right, most CPU’s will happily overclock 20-30% and easily last long enough till your next PC upgrade – so why not?

    Not sure if I wan to risk my AMD Phenom II X4 965

    *starts overclocking blindly*

  8. KagiSpirit95 says:

    with all them phenons x6 x4 i5 n i7 go eback old dayz and OC pentium 4 :D

  9. legotrooper00 says:

    yay i did :D

    @asdfgoogle Well, by now I’d say that is 1 of the things to realise anyway rofl

  11. constipationnow says:

    @asdfgoogle ah i c, but do u increase -> stress, increase more -> stress, etc until its not stable then u increase voltage -> stress, increase -> stress ? and if its stable, u overclock more and then voltage more. is that how u do it?

  12. GogiRB says:

    @asdfgoogle yup, i’ve use FURMARK as a benchmarking and GTA IV and still at 1.2ghz and multiplier at 6.0

    @asdfgoogle
    Hey, thanks bud.. :)

  14. asdfgoogle says:

    @MadSupra354 Dude… you are an idiot!! You’re gonna get someone to burn out their processor. You didn’t even mention heat.

  15. asdfgoogle says:

    @GogiRB Does it still read 1.2GHz when your processor is on full load? Playing a game, benchmarking, etc.

  16. asdfgoogle says:

    @THEANTvids4u I didn’t watch the video, but "hanging" typically refers to a computer locking up, freezing, or similarly.

  17. asdfgoogle says:

    @2010MegaScooter Stock is fine for minimal overclocking. Since your processor is literally like 8 years old, there is no point to overclock, as you will see ZERO improvement in today’s applications.

  18. asdfgoogle says:

    @constipationnow Increasing the multiplier is the first thing you do to overclock. With Intel processors/motherboards, they come standard set to highest value.

    Typically when I feel satisfied with my overclock, I’ll stress test for 10-30min. If it’s good, it’ll likely stay that way. The real test is playing games, encoding, etc. Those are what really matter. If the computer locks up or restarts or has trouble booting up, you should tweek your OC.

    do you use a gigabyte-mainboard ???

  20. KidNamedGerben says:

    15 people were drunk when they rated this video

  21. gillies999 says:

    great vid helped me alot thanx

  22. GogiRB says:

    i’ve got GIGABYTE GA-VM900M V2 at BIOS doesnt appear: Misc. Control,Thermal Throttling, Power User OC and Bios Security Features.

    I need to overclock my E5400 cuz it says i’m using 1.2ghz from 2.7 no idea why :(

  23. Miaumiauize says:

    I need help i have a AMD Phenom(tm) 9550 Quad-Core Processor 2.20.ghz and i did like you say but is still 2.20ghz
