Changing The Clock Speed On Your Computer
Everyone wants a faster computer. If you play lots of computer
games, watch videos on your computer or like to listen to music,
these applications use a lot of computer resources. You may
sometimes find that your computer can't keep up with the demand.
Well there is a little known secret that can help your computer
keep up with this extra workload, it is called Overclocking.
Overclocking is making your computer chip run faster then
manufacturer recommendations. Although it is not advised by the
manufacturer, the vast majority have of overclocked computers
run fine with no problems. There three main ways to overclock
your computer.
The easiest way to over clock your computer is to change your
BIOS settings. While this setting is not universal, many
computers do have this capability. When the computer screen
boots up access the BIOS screen to make your changes. There
should be a screen that asks to adjust the CPU speed. Just make
the adjustments and you are set, it's as easy as pie. However,
since some computers don't have this option you will have to
open up the computer case and manually make some adjustments.
There are two other ways to speed up your computer chip, the bus
settings and multiplier settings. Bus settings usually come in
speeds of 66 MHz and 100 MHz. By increasing the speed of the
bus, you are in affect increasing the speed of computer chip.
Multiplier settings are on the mother board. They are usually
identified by X1, X1.5, X2, X2.5, X3, X3.5. If you see that your
computer is set to X2, you can make the speed faster to X2.5 or
X3.
Remember be careful when making changes to your computer due to
the fact that the manufacturer does not recommend you changing
the speed, but if you feel the need, the need for speed, who is
going to stop you.
