Sorry nizzy, but with only fsb adjustment on offer I consider that utility to be useless!. To get a decent overclock you need to also be able to adjust RAM settings and voltage levels, if need be. That fsb tool might squeeze a tiny bit extra out with stability, but it wouldn't be worth the effort.

Yeah i agree that its not the best, however it does work suprisingly well. Its enough to make a noticable difference in playing games. I have a 2.6 and i run at 3.2 stable no heat problems (ive gone 3.4 but under load i hit 58-60* so i stoped). It makes a great difference in the computers performance when i use photo shop cs and other video editing software. Also I can deffinatly see doom 3 run a lot smoother especially when there are lots of characters on the screen. Additionally, for what ever benchmarking is worth, i have doubled my score on one benchmarking test from stock (i think the cpu test that comes with norton system works suit) and i have gained several hundred in 3dmark03 (i havent run 2005 yet). I guess the extra fsb bandwith helps there also. But though it may not be the best results possible, it is the only option many with oem boards can do and it is enough to give them an edge of performance boost that they may want or need, but heck its better than nothing right?

Sounds like you must be lucky enough to have a motherboard which, despite having a lack of overclocking features in bios, actaully locks the other system buses to a particular value, and does not proportionally alter the other settings along with FSB.

On some boards, altering a setting like FSB will also alter the speed of the device interface, (AGP and PCI buses) and create instability.

hi,
can some tell me how overclocking can be done, step by step?

omw, please don't add new questions to an existing topic. Start a new topic for new questions.

That said, I'd suggest that if you need to ask that question you shouldn't be trying to overclock. It is a complex activity, which involves risk to your equipment. You need to do a LOT of research and reading before considering undertaking an overclock.

Techniques differ for different processors and motherboard types/formats, and the field cannot be covered by someone posting a 'step by step' in a forum post, trying to cover every scenario.
