How to overclock the processor on a computer or laptop. Overview of processor acceleration programs

From the very beginning I want to notice that good programs To disperse the processor in Russian found failed.

BIOS is the most the best way , (Turning on the link to receive complete instructions).

But he is also in English, but do not despair, I will tell you a good method, how to use English versions.

To do this, you need to download and install the free Russian qdictionary utility. With her help, you can easily learn what is indicating this or that word in English.

Processor overclocking programs

ASRock OC TUNER is one of the most popular utilities to determine the processor parameters.

It contains 4 partitions: acceleration, temperature control, monitoring of the main parameters of the system and voltage control. Here is a link to download:

Intel SetFSB - This program accelerates Intel processors. It adjusts the tire frequency directly from Windows.

In the archive there is an instruction, and you can download it at this link: http://hotdownloads.ru/setfsb

MSI Control Center. - this is new program To overclock the processor. With it, configure your operating system for maximum performance is very simple.

Just be careful not to overdo it. Here is the link:

Acceleration is called a forced increase in the processor clock frequency in excess of nominal. Immediately explain what these concepts mean.

Tact is a conditional, very short temporary gap, for which the processor performs a certain amount of instructions for program code.

And clock frequency is the number of clocks for 1 second.

Raising clock frequency is directly proportional to the speed of program execution, that is, a dispersed processor works faster than not discern.

In a word, overclocking allows you to extend the "active life" of the processor when its standard performance ceases to respond to the user's requirements.

It allows you to increase the speed of the computer without spending on the purchase of new equipment.

Important! Negative sides The overclocking is an increase in the power consumption of a computer, sometimes very noticeable, increasing heat generation and accelerating the wear of devices due to work in non-standard mode. You should also know what accelerating the processor, you accelerate with it and the RAM.

What needs to be done before acceleration?

Each processor has its overclocking potential - the limit of the clock frequency, the exceeding of which leads to the inoperability of the device.

Most processors such as Intel Core i3, I5, I7 can be safely dispersed only by 5-15% of the initial level, and some are even less.

Best of all of the Intel family travels specially focused on this K-series with a unlocked multiplier.

The desire to squeeze the maximum clock frequency from possible does not always justify itself, because when a certain heating threshold is reached, the processor begins to skip the clocks to reduce the temperature.

It follows from this that the stable operation of the overclocked system requires good cooling.

In addition, given the increased power consumption, it may be necessary to replace the power supply to more powerful.

Immediately before acceleration, you need to do three things:

Refresh BIOS Computer Until the latest version.
Make sure the serviceability and reliability of the installation of the processor cooler.
Find out the original clock frequency of your processor (view in BIOS or through special utilities, for example, CPU-Z).

Also, it is also useful to test the work of the processor to stability at maximum load. For example, using the S & M utility.

After that, it's time to start "sacred."

Intel processor overclocking programs

Setfsb.

SetFSB is easy to use the utility that allows you to overclock the "on the fly" processor by simply moving the slider.

After making changes, it does not require a reboot of the computer.

The program is suitable for overclocking as old processor models like Intel Core 2 Duo and modern.

However, it does not support all motherboards, and this is an unconditional need, since overclocking is carried out by increasing the support frequency of the system tire.

That is, it affects the clock generator (PLL chip or as it is called, the chief), located on the motherboard.

Find out if your fee is included in the list of supported, you can on the site of the program.

Tip! To avoid the output of the processor, it is recommended to work with SETFSB only to experience users who understand what they are doing and are aware of the possible consequences. In addition, an unprepared by the user is unlikely to be able to correctly determine the model of its clock generator, which must be specified manually.

So, to overclock the processor with SetFSB, you need:

Select from the list "Clock Generator" model of the closer installed on your motherboard.
Click the GET FSB button. After that, the current frequency of the system bus (FSB) and processor will appear in the SETFSB window.
Caution, in small steps to move the slider in the center of the window. After each movement, the slider must be monitored by the processor temperature. For example, using the program Core temp.
After selecting the optimal position of the slider, you need to click the SET FSB button.

Plus (and for someone minus) the SetFSB utility is that the settings performed in it will only be performed before rebooting the computer. After re-start, they will have to be installed again.

If there is no desire to do it every time, the utility can be placed in the autoload.

CPUFSB.

CPUFSB is the next program to overclock the Intel Core i5, I7 processors and others, which can be from the developer site.

If you are familiar with the CPUCOOL utility - integrated monitoring and acceleration tools, then know that CPUFSB is the overclocking module selected from it.

Supports many motherboards on Intel, Via, AMD, Ali and Sis chipsets.

Unlike SETFSB, CPUFSB has a Russian translation, so it is much easier to understand how it is much easier.

The principle of operation in these two programs is the same: increase the support frequency of the system tire.

Operating procedure:

Select from the manufacturer's list and type of your motherboard.
Select the brand and model of the PLL chip (clock generator).
Click "Take the frequency" to display the system bus and processor in the current frequency program.
Increase frequency is also necessary for small steps, while controlling the temperature of the processor. After selection optimal setting Click "Set the Frequency".

CPUFSB allows you to set the FSB bus frequency upon subsequent program startup and when you exit. Current settings are also saved until the computer is rebooted.

Softfsb.

Completes our SoftFSB utility review - another tool for overclocking the "on the fly" processor. It is not more complex in circulation than previous programs.

As well as they support many models of motherboards, various models of clock generators and any processors.

Unlike paid SETFSB and CPUFSB, you can use SoftFSB free of charge.

However, there is no guarantee that it will start on your computer, since no longer supported by the author.

To overclock the processor with SoftFSB, you also need to know the motherboard model, PLL chip and be enough an experienced user.

Procedure:

In the FSB SELECT section, specify the board and clock generator model.
Press the "Get FSB" button to capture the processor frequency and bus.
Controlling the temperature of the processor, find the optimal frequency, moving the slider in the middle of the window.
Selecting the appropriate value, click the "Set FSB" button.

As you can see, everything is the same here. According to a similar algorithm, there are also a mass of other programs for overclocking processors under Windows.

In addition to universal, there are utilities with the function of overclocking, which produce manufacturers of motherboards themselves.

They use somewhat easier and safer, because they are designed for a simple user and knowingly cannot cause harm.

Important! All reviewed programs allow you to overclock Intel processors both on laptops and in stationary PCs. But if you have a laptop, you should respect greater caution and do not lift the system tire frequency to high values.

How to overclock AMD (Intel) processor without bios and programs

3 best programs To overclock the Intel processor

Today we will talk about the acceleration of Intel processors and consider in detail the program with which it will make it easier. But, at the beginning, we will find out what acceleration (from the English Overclocking) of the processor, why is it generally needed and what consequences of overclocking are expected to be further. People engaged in overclocking are called overwhere.

Conditionally all overwhere divide into three categories

The first type is novice and economical overwhere. For the purpose of economy money They wish to get maximum performance, while spending as little as possible of money. Build a computer at the same time comes from not the most expensive components that are probably obsessive. In general, buy something that is enough money. Naturally, the performance of such a computer system is far from the desired level. Therefore, the owners of such equipment and begin to engage in the processor acceleration in order to at least increase the speed of their PC.
The second type includes the so-called experienced overwhere. Their goal is to receive maximum performance and pleasure from the process of overclocking, without spending unnecessary means. Experienced overwhere still at the purchase stage is not the most cheap equipment try to choose it with the calculation of further upgrade. They thoughtfully approach the choice of each component of their future computer. If the motherboard is, it should have ample opportunities to support various components, if the processor is necessarily the ability to overclock it, etc. As a result, very often such systems after the overclocking have at least comparable speed with top computers operating in nominal mode. But often in such productivity there is no vital necessity, and overwhere just likes to enjoy the perfectly performed work.
Third type of overlocer, these are overclockers - extremes. For them, the purpose of overclocking is the highest possible performance by any means and regardless of the price. They are in constant search for senior models, the most powerful components, reaching extreme-low temperatures, etc. The main thing for them is to obtain a system with parameters that are inacked most PC users.

Of course, such a division is conditional and clear boundaries between overlooks. Beginners with time are transferred to a group of experienced, experienced in the presence of desire and opportunities become extremes. But, one way or another, they all started from something, and any serious case is preceded by theoretical preparation. So we first will take a few theory of acceleration of the processor.

Collect information about the system

Before proceeding to the acceleration of the processor, it is necessary to have an idea what you are dealing with. First you need to study your system. Determine all components components, learn the manual to the motherboard, use information and diagnostic utilities, carry out performance testing, select the maxima and temperature minima at various loads of the system, etc. After overclocking the processor, you can compare the data obtained with the indicators that the system has before increasing the processor frequency. To all of the time, using preliminary tests, you can make sure that the system functions stable at rated frequency and voltage.

Required programs

Both, so and during overclocking, you will need special programs and utilities. Again, conditionally they are divided into several categories: programs for diagnostics, monitoring, acceleration, checking the stability of the system and utilities for measuring performance.

In real life, clear boundaries between these categories are very blurred. Using diagnostic programs, it is possible to measure performance, and utilities intended for monitoring are capable of overclocking the processor. It is simply for each program there is a main direction for which it is suitable for optimally and several auxiliary non-core functions.

Informational diagnostic software is intended primarily to determine the configuration of your system. The most powerful and functional of them are Lavalys Everest and Sisoftware Sandra.

But these packages are not limited solely by defining the system configuration. These software complexes are able to monitor, measure performance, as well as testing the stability of the computer. However, the use of such programs is not always justified immediately for all directions, especially since they are paid for, but in free packages Only part of the possibilities are available. Similar bulky programs can be replaced by less well-known, but from this no less effective utilities. For example, enjoying great popularity among overwhere cPU-Z utilitycapable of reporting information both about the processor and the motherboard and random access memory. To carry out detailed control and manage memory timings, you can use a small MEMSET program.

To overclock the processor, the best option will be the use of BIOS. But, unfortunately, the manufacturers of computers do not always provide a similar opportunity. In this case, you can use the universal setfsb utility, which we will consider more than later. In addition, you should always get acquainted with the contents of the CD, which comes with motherboard. Often, manufacturers are supplied with the software driver drivers, which have the ability to overclock the processor from Windows.

One important truth should always be remembered: none of the existing programs for overclocking processors can give you a warranty 100%. But the chances will increase significantly if you will use several different utilities for overclocking, monitoring and testing. Check the stability of the system will help OCCT or S & M utilities.

To measure the performance of the system, not one hundred is written special programs. Such utilities are tested or the system as a whole or its components separately. An example is simple, but the functional program can serve Novabench.

Basics of overclocking processors

Acceleration is the forced operation of the processor at frequencies exceeding the nominal frequency. The reasons why overclocking in general, may be different. This reason may be a large margin of storage in the architecture of the processor or some marketing moves. This is not so important, the main thing is to skillfully use the opportunities provided.

Despite a huge manifold computer components Inside the PC is all largely standardized. This is caused by the need to synchronize components from different manufacturers. The starting point serves the frequency of the -FSB system bus. At the same time, various tires on the motherboard (channels) that bind various components of the board, have a frequency of transmitting information less than FSB. Therefore, when specifying their nominal frequencies, dividers are used. But so modern processors have a markedly greater frequency, so that it is able to work at its nominal frequency, multipliers are applied.

Let us give an example. The operation of the Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 processor is carried out at a tire frequency of 266 MHz. His multiplier is x7. The FSB frequency product on this multiplier will give the final frequency of the processor of 1.86 GHz. Therefore, to perform the processor acceleration, it is necessary to either increase the FSB frequency or the multiplier.

More elder models modern processors Characterized free factors. But such processors have a high cost, which may be an order of magnitude higher than that of the younger processors of the family. Therefore, the acquisition of such processors is not entirely rational, since with the help of overclocking, it is possible to achieve the performance of junior processors comparable to the performance of senior fellow.

Therefore, overclocking any processor is usually an increase in FSB frequency. If you take an Intel Core 2 Duo processor acceleration as an example, then with an increase in the bus frequency up to 400 MHz, the processor frequency can increase to 2.8 GHz. If we increase FSB to 500, then in this case the processor frequency will already be 3.5 GHz. This information is the main and knowing them already, you can go to the BIOS and start increasing the frequency of FSB, thereby dispersing your processor. But still before the start of overclocking, some preparatory work should be held, which we will consider below.

Preparatory stage

Before you begin overclocking the processor, you have to make a couple of mandatory steps. First of all, you should go to the manufacturer's website of your motherboard and check whether the more fresh is not released there. bIOS version. There are many cases when there are absolutely unsuccessful system boards after updating BIOS acquired the second life in the literal sense. In addition, the update version can not only correct the resulting errors, but also make new parameters and capabilities in the BIOS fees. You can find out which version of the BIOS you use at the moment you can during the start of the motherboard. If the information appears at a very short period of time and you do not have time to read it, then in this case, press the PAUSE key on your keyboard. The BIOS version can also be seen with the help of information and diagnostic utilities. Of course, not in all cases the new version of the BIOS is better suited for overclocking than the old one, however, in the new version, at least eliminated errors of early versions.

Intel Core Processor Nuances

A characteristic feature of all processors having microarchitecture Core is high performance. Since they perfectly accelerate, pay special attention to them.

Core processors In addition to a large number of advantages, there are also a number of deficiencies inherent in them, which still complicate the process of overclocking. Such processors have their own feature - the so-called FSB Wall. This concept describes the maximum tire clock frequency at which this processor can work. By reducing the multiplier to X6, you can find out at what maximum frequency of the tire your instance will be able to work.

By the word, a processor having a nominal frequency of 200 MHz bus is almost never accelerated to a frequency exceeding 400 MHz FSB. This factor should be considered by choosing the Core series processor. Why pay for the processor of an older ruler, if much cheaper and easier to make an overclocking of the younger processor. At the same time, it is necessary to remember that the younger CPUs having a nominal multiplier X8 will most likely restriction due to FSB Wall, and on this frequency after overclocking will not be able to go above 3.2 GHz. Therefore, in order not to limit yourself in advance at the maximum possible frequency, when buying, pay attention to processors that have a multiplier X9.

Processors having a nominal frequency of the tire 266 or 333 MHz are also selected junior and having a multiplier X7. But here, in addition to the notorious FSB Wall, acceleration can be complicated in the addition of motherboard and RAM capabilities. Such processors also have to choose with a multiplier X8 and higher. However, and here Overlokers will notice a new danger - FSB Strap.

FSB Strap, a parameter that characterizes the processor itself, and the chipset and motherboard. This is the frequency of switching the modes of the chipset. For example, after overclocking the processor, the performance of systems built on the maternal gigabyte board And the Intel P965 EXPRESS chipset immediately falls. But the motherboard from the ASUS manufacturer, built on the same chipset, shows high performance even by 400 MHz. When testing the ASUS Striker Extreme motherboard with the NVIDIA NForce 680i SLI chipset, the performance fell during the transition from the frequency FSB 420 MHz to 425 MHz.

Acceleration of the processor using the SETFSB program

Now that the theoretical part is behind, we can start overclocking the Intel processor. As an example, take a very popular and effective program Setfsb.

After starting the utility, your screen should appear on the screen.

At the very beginning you choose the PLL chip. See which chip installed you can either visually on the motherboard or with help special utilities. You can happen that your chip will not be on the list, then you will have to search other utilities that support and your type of chip. In the extreme case, you can refer to the author of this utility and ask to add the chip to the program. But this procedure will take a lot of time and is not the fact that the developer will generally respond to your request.

After you chose your chip, press the GET FSB button.

In the window, various frequency values \u200b\u200bare displayed, including the frequency on which the processor is currently running. The current frequency is selected in the Current CPU FREQUENCY window. In our case, this is the frequency of 1198.2 MHz.

We will overclock the processor, increasing the frequency of the system tire. To increase the named frequency, you need to move the slider, located in the center of the window, right. Tabs and sliders, which are located next to avoid unexpected problems better to leave as it is. If you want to increase the frequency adjustment range, check the left of the Ultra lettering, as shown in the previous figure.

Now I move the slider to the right. As a result, the frequency should increase by 10-15 MHz.

To make the changes you entered into force, you must press the SETFSB button.

If after you have pressed the SETFSB button, the computer hung or turned off, do not be afraid. This only means that you either indicated the wrong PLL, or very much influenced the frequency. After rebooting, everything will return to normal and you can make changes. If you did everything correctly, the value of the clock frequency of the processor will increase. We look at the drawing below.

In order to ensure that the computer's stable operation after overclocking is needed to test it with the help of the utility. We chose to preime95.

After starting the utility, press the JUST STRESS Testing button, as shown in the figure above. After your PC screen, such a window should be displayed:

Choose the third item and click OK. After that, the testing of your system should start.

If desired, simultaneously with the Preime95 utility you can run the HWMONITOR utility, which will control the temperature of your processor, as well as the other components during the passage of the test.

The Prime95 program has the ability to generate a serious load on the computer processor. Testing will be completed successfully if the processor for at least fifteen minutes will work stably and does not hang. After successful completion of testing, you can try to increase the frequency of the processor and start testing the system again.

If you want to interrupt the test earlier, you can do this using the menu, as shown in the figure below.

Raising the frequency and immediately checking the stability of the system using PRIME95 you can achieve maximum processor frequency at which it will work steadily over a large period of time at maximum loads. After all the manipulations with overclocking and defining the optimal frequency, you need to add the SETFSB program to autoload. Otherwise, all your changes will be lost after the first reboot of the PC.

First of all, create a BAT script. For what you need a regular standard notepad, in which you need to do approximately such entry:

c: \\ Program Files (x86) \\ setfsb 2.2.129.95 \\ setfsb.exe -w15 -S668 -CG

c: \\ Program Files (x86) \\ setfsb 2.2.129.95 \\ setfsb.exe - your path to the setfsb utility on your computer. Naturally, different users can differ.

w15 is this parameter you set the necessary delay before starting SETFSB. Time is indicated in seconds.

s668 - Record specifying overclocking. This parameter is very important. In the figure in our case, this figure is 668 (the first digit to the right of the slider, which is located in the green field)

cG)
