The Ultimate CPU Overclocking Guide!

In this episode of TechBits, I run through overclocking basics. This is not an overclocking tutorial, but rather some helpful hints and information.

    hey man pretty good vid. I would suggest next time adding some info about warranty voiding for noobs. flashing a bios on vid card is a sure fire way to screw it up like you warned but it also voids the warranty… most overclocking voids warranties matter o fact lol. dunno if anyone else has mentioned that. I burnt an athlon xp 2500+ out once OCing on stock cooler haha.

    @Mnemic1990 What OS are you using? it sounds like power managment decreased your speed

    @maranzano3255 You’ll need two cards for that.

    @hrodriguez231 CHecking scores is the easiest way.

    Hi, I have seeing all your videos, but in this "overclocking guide" the only thing that I can’t find is – How do we know when the CPU and GPU are bottleneck, I mean using some software like 3D Mark06 and comparing the number of each, but you say if the number of one increases related with the other, then there is a bottleneck, but before overclocking, in which aspect we must look using 3D Mark , for example the number of the result of CPU and GPU must be equal or what ratio are?
    sorry,bad eng.

    @Mnemic1990 if your psu isnt as good as it was before you should probably get a new one… it probably means that your psu is overstressed, thats what i think anyways

    Still dont know HOW to do it

  11. cryspypotato says:

    I think GPU overclocking is allmost uneffective, because they depend a lot on the arcitecture so the gain of speed wont be significant and there is a lot of risk involved, cards from some manufacturers burn even w/o OC so it’s not practical unless you wan’t to bench out and have the fastest 5970 for a day or two :D
    But CPU OC is quite conviniant-i aprove of that :)

  12. detroid89 says:

    where do I get that from?

  13. crimson177 says:

    psu calculator is what you need

  14. crimson177 says:

    with my 5770 couldn’t i just go on catalyst control and slide everything to the max and add a antec spot cool fan

  15. shgjlsfg says:

    @sciguy14 they must get wet when you talk about overclocking

  16. detroid89 says:

    great video. im still building ma gaming rig, bought the case and powersuppy @750 Watts is dat ok for overclocking?

  17. sciguy14 says:

    a sound driver can’t possibly decrease CPU. Check again.

  18. Mnemic1990 says:

    I got this problem with my pc that it did run with 2.10 Ghz before and now it went down to 1.10 after I did get my sound driver on to my PC can’t it rly make my Ghz go down instaling that ?? and my power suply in the back the fan on there dont go anymore can that be the problem I use another way to keep my pc cold :) if you can help me please leav a comment in my profile and sorry for my bad english

  19. CheatEnginer says:

    I know my cpu 1.425 Volts max. But i dont think my cooler would like that voltage very much.

  20. sciguy14 says:

    visit my forums.

  21. SoundsLikeAParty1 says:

    i’m terrible with computers lol.. .how do i figure out what type of comp i have and find out how to overclock it?

  22. sciguy14 says:

    very.

  23. shgjlsfg says:

    do chicks get all horny when they see your jew fro?

  24. sciguy14 says:

    You should increase voltage by the smallest increment possible. You can google maximum allowable voltages for your CPU model.

  25. CheatEnginer says:

    I know how to overclock but what concerns me is the voltage changing. People say "If you set the wrong voltage you will fry your cpu" So what is exactly a good voltage increase? Like if its unstable ill change it from eg. 1.280 to 1.290 volts?
