Tip 1: How to determine the bus frequency


One way to overclock your computer's processor is to increase the frequency tires. But before using this method, you need to know the basic frequency tires and based on this indicator determine whether it is necessary to deal with overclocking in this way. After all, if it is too high, it can lead to overheating of the processor.



How to determine the bus frequency


You will need



  • - CPUID CPU-Z program;
  • - program AIDA64 Extreme Edition;
  • - AI Booster.


Instructions


1


To determine the bus frequency,use special programs. One of the rather simple CPUID CPU-Z utilities, moreover, is absolutely free. Download it from the Internet and install it on your computer. Run the program.


2


After startup, select the CPU tab. In the appeared window you can see the basic information about your processor. In the lower left part of the window there is a Clocks section. In this section, you need to find the Bus Speed ​​line. The value in this line is the frequency of the bus.


3


Another program, with which you canfind out the bus frequency, called AIDA64 Extreme Edition. Unlike CPUID CPU-Z, this program can show the current bus frequency and the permissible limits of its increase. The application is paid, but there is a free period of use for a period of one month. Download the program from the Internet, install it on your computer and start it. AIDA64 Extreme Edition will begin scanning the system. After its completion you will enter the main menu.


4


In the right window of the main menu there will be a listdevices. In this list, select "System Board". In the next window, also select "Motherboard". A window will appear with information about the configuration of your motherboard. The information will be divided into several sections. Find the section "FSB bus properties", in it - the line "Real frequency". The value in this row is the bus frequency.


5


Also, to determine the frequency, you canuse the program AI Booster. Install it, reboot the computer, after which the program will start automatically, as it is built into the autorun. In the application menu, click the Display tuning panel icon. This will open an additional panel. Then select Tuning. Just below this point you can see the frequency of the bus.



Tip 2: How to find out the bus frequency


To fully optimize your computerrecommend changing the parameters of the CPU and RAM. Naturally, before starting this process it is better to check the stability of these devices.



How to find the bus frequency


You will need



  • - CPU-Z;
  • - Speed ​​Fan.


Instructions


1


Install the CPU-Z program and run it. Find out the current processor performance. The overall frequency of the CPU is obtained by multiplying the multiplier by the bus frequency. To ensure maximum effect from overclocking the processor, it is necessary to increase the bus frequency.


2


Restart the computer and open the BIOS menu. To do this, press the Delete key when starting the PC boot. Press the F1 and Ctrl keys simultaneously to open the advanced settings menu. For some models of motherboards, other key combinations may be required.


3


Open the menu that is responsible for setting the parameterswork of RAM and CPU. Increase the frequency of the CPU bus. Raise the voltage applied to the processor by changing the value of the CPU Voltage item. Press the F10 button to save the settings and restart the computer.


4


Use the CPU-Z utility to evaluatestability of the processor. Open the control panel and select the "System and Security" menu. Scroll to "Administration". Click on the "Test Windows Memory" icon. Run the RAM status diagnostics by restarting the computer. If the system has not detected a failure, then re-enter the BIOS menu.


5


Go to the item specified in the third step. Change the memory timings. It is recommended initially to reduce the delay to the minimum step, i.e. at 0.5-1 point. Be sure to slightly increase the voltage applied to the RAM slats. Save the settings and restart the computer.


6


Repeat the cycles of PC acceleration and verificationstability of the CPU and RAM until the system detects errors. Constantly monitor the CPU temperature using the CPU-Z program or auxiliary utilities, for example Speed ​​Fan.
