Applying the Overclocking Technique

 

Many a time it happens that you have exceeded the limits and your system will not boot up the next time you boot. It may even do not enters the POST and you got all meshed up. Now what to do so as to bring back the system to its normal position. The thing which you can do is to reset the BIOS to its factory or default settings. For configuring your system BIOS to default settings you have to go to the BIOS or the Motherboard user manual which has been provided to you with the Motherboard. There has been listed the steps how you can reset your BIOS settings to default. The easiest way which I generally follow is to look for reset pins on the Motherboard near your CMOS battery. You will generally find your BIOS reset pins near your CMOS battery. This pin can be either two or three pins just remove the jumpers and leave it for a while and again put the pins on its right place as it was. Again reboot your system and you will be back to your starting position from where you have started.

Now after you have tried all the steps mentioned previously and nothing much happened then there is another thing left for you. You can have one thing is to change the voltages or being more precise raise the CPU voltage of operation. This method also works sometime but never be carried away and go on increasing the CPU voltages. This feature of increasing the CPU voltages is very often supported by the BIOS but if it is provided then never hesitate to exploit it.

As increasing its voltage to one extend can also increase the temperature considerably than can have adverse effect on other components. Moreover you will have to have a good Power Supply unit so as to have a constant supply of voltages so as to support this configuration of your CPU voltage.


After every increase in its voltage never forget to get the CPU working data to be recorded by the software like CPU-Z or the software which was provided by the Motherboard vendor. This will help you to always monitor your CPU for adverse effect of the configuration which we have just applied so always try to keep record of it.

After having all these steps you must have gain something extra speed of your CPU. Overclocking of your Processor is a tough task and also a very risky task to do. And having a sound knowledge of all the steps must be understood carefully. Have a look at your system specification first like your BIOS settings and how to reset your BIOS to its normal factory or default settings so as to roll bock to the initial configuration when ever the need arises.

The main requirement of having to do Overclocking is to have a good cooling system as well as the Power Supply unit for your system As increasing the CPU speed produces a large amount of heat which is not very easy to get radiated by the normal heat sink used so always go for Heat Sinks having greater surface area. This will help you to radiate the most of the heat produces efficiently to the surrounding after a successful Overclocking.


And next is to have a good Power Supply unit so as to provide the steady current and voltage rating so as to compensate the higher wattage requirement by the Overclocking purpose. And also be very much careful in having Overclocking as this may cause harm to your other peripherals and components other than your Processor. So be very much careful for a successful Overclocking your PC.
