How do I install MSI Afterburner?

[Ender Wiggins]

I've been extracting the folders and what not, still don't know what I'm doing wrong but all it's doing is opening the files and not Afterburner. Anyone mind helping me out? I wanna overclock my cpu.

It just opens up the notepad.

Where are you downloading it from?

http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/vga/MSIAfterburnerSetup.zip

Unzip it and then access setup application one folder in.

Just a heads up but you don't use Afterburner for CPU/processor overclocking, GPU only.

 

[Ender Wiggins]

Ah. Well what do I use to overclock CPU? @Darren

 

[johnb35]

The bios is what you use to overclock.

Per others that isn't what Afterburner does.

What motherboard do you have?

Do you have proper cpu cooling, processor, motherboard chipset to overclock?

I've coauthored a guide covering exactly that.
