what does "overlock" mean?

[jibachabili]

can someone tell me ?
and, how to overlock cpu?

Running a motherboard or processor at a higher speed than what the manufacturer suggests is called overclocking. I would not attempt an overclock if you don't know what you are doing. It can result in an unstable system or damaged central processing unit if done incorrectly.

Be sure you read up on it and understand it before you attempt any overclocking of your system.

As 2048 said above, if you don't know what you are doing, don't do it or you can fry your computer!!

Either read some tutorials, get someone with real experience to help you, or don't do it at all!

Every chip and system is different and there isn't one magical way for people to overclock! (not overlock)

I also helped the member on his "other" thread here: http://www.computerforum.com/161261-i-need-help.html

And he certainly does

to be honest, it sound likes you don't have a clue on basic overclocking requirements. as stated above, you need to read up on it yourself. it's not simply a step by step kind of thing you can just follow from start to finish. different systems require different methods for overclocking (some many need voltage increases, multiplier tweaks, etc.)

read the tutorial from this forum (it may be a bit outdated, but much of the information is still relevant)

also, i'll tell you right now, if you have a prebuilt name brand computer then overclocking will almost certainly be out of the question.

I glance over posts, your point was pretty subtle.

Not knowing how to enter BIOS automatically disqualifies you from overclocking.

now i wont overlocking untill i know enough

I bet it is a corruption in the computerform's code that removes that "c"

That should be.

I bet it was a orruption in the omputerforum's ode that removes that " "

To be fair on him the way he types he seems foreign or he's either a little child but thats doubtful haha

And you more than likely wont be able to overclock a system that has been purchased from an OEM.

I wouldn't suggest you doing it. You can cook your computer. If you know what your doing then yes but otherwise no because if you don't have the right processor and the right motherboard to overclock you can seriously do some damage to your computer. i have a gigabyte motherboard with an i7 processor and i overlocked it to 3.8GHz when it was 3.2GHz. Depending on your processor and motherboard you might be able to. When you turn on your computer it will have say whatever your brand is of your comp and then it will quickly go before that read what writing it has down the bottom. it might be F2 or DELETE or F7. Read down the bottom and it will tell you(It should) But i wouldn't suggest you doing it

"if you don't have the right processor and the right motherboard to overclock you can seriously do some damage to your computer." what i mean there is that. different motherboards and different processors are different they might not be the same set-up as another computer. you have to find out what your doing and it's not easy to do if you dont know what your doing.
