clockgen

i was looking thourgh cpu-z's website and stumbled upon one of their software called clockgen.. it consists of a set of overclocking software that allow to change the clock of some of your system devices on-the-fly : CPU, memory, AGP, PCI Express, PCI. Each of these software is dedicated to one or several motherboards..

i was wandering if this is good if im trying to oc one of my computer.. i have no knowledge what so ever of oc-ing.. posted a thread while back, but was pointed to sticky.. had no clue after reading it.. so i just ignored oc-ing..

so anyone know if this is a good software to use?
 
It's a pretty good piece of software, by using that you can OC without the need to restart. The guys at the MikroBitti magazine here in Finland used it when they extreme-overclocked processors.
 
If you want to try it make sure you download the right version, it has several dozen versions that correspond to certain chipsets/motherboards. Also the same rules apply, increase in small steps.

wow i didn't realize all the different versions at the bottom.. well, will cpu-z give me that information to choose the right one ? (since i recently downloaded it) .. or would i need something like everest?
 
sure. the downloads are all the severally listed links in motherboard order i believe on the bottom..

well, how would i go about looking for it on cpu-z and knowing which one to download? here is what i got on my laptop

Motherboard
Manufacture: Toshiba
Model: Portable PC ; Version A0
Chipset: Intel ; i915PM/GM/GMS Rev: 03
Southbridge: Intel 82801FBM (ICH6-M)

how would i know which intel on clockgen's download site matches that?

they had:
D845GBV
D845EPT2
D865PERL
D875PBZ

oh.. and no the toshiba isn't what im trying to oc.. its an older amd desktop.. but i just want to know how i would determine it since it looks totally different
 
The guys at MikroBitti overclocked a Intel Pentium 4 Prescott 3.4 GHz to 5.157 GHz, liquid nitrogen was used to cool the CPU down. They checked the CPU speed by calculating 8 million decimals from Pi by using a program called Super Pi. The time for the P4 was 4 minutes 57 seconds.
 
Heya

I have used clockgen, but I prefer using the BIOS to overclock. Clockgen is great at determining the results of your overclocking attempts prior to testing them in my view. However, I prefer the classical overclocking techniques as they are, in my view, more trustworthy and reliable.
 
Think about it before you do it. Especially if you start changing CORE-VOLTAGES, either on the CPU or GRAPHICS-CARD. The system is usually set to detect the settings
of the motherboard, and runs accordingly. CPU, MEMORY and PCI clock settings can all
be changed if you want to OC. The basic principles of electricity, (V = I*R), can soon
frazzle any other attachments on the mobo, at the speed of light. There are many ways to speed up the computer.

:) Firstly, get rid of MICROSOFT PRODUCTS. These are all trying to crab the attention
of the CPU, to go and search for UPDATES.

:) If you are going to play games, create a configuration that only loads the things
you need to play the game... If not a NET game, don't load the NETWORK stuff

Happy clocking
 
ok thanks guys.. well, first off let me list the spec of the computer i am trying to oc

amd 1ghz(old)
256mb ram
60gb hdd
savage2000 video card

ok.. so is it even worth it to oc? or am i just wasting my time? will there be compatibility issues when oc-ing due to the version of the hardwares?
