overclocking

how do you guys overclock? i use the bios, but i don't know how to change the multiplier. so i also use gigabyte easy tune 5, but im looking for a better way to overclock because if i load the saved settings for easy tune 5, my computer restarts.

Unless you have an AMD FX series, you cant raise the multiplier. So the most effective way to overclock is to just raise the FSB.

If you want alot more detailed information, read "overclocking 101", which is a sticky in the CPU section.

yea i raise the fsb more by lowering the multiplier, is that better?

 

[Geoff]

The best thing it do is leave the multiplier at the highest number, and just raise the fsb.

really? i read in a overclocking tutorial that like raising the fsb will increase cpu cycles or something like that

Thats not the same thing as raising the multiplier.
