Overclocking Your
Laptop
Overclocking
a laptop, you may destroy or damage the computer. After this
course of instruction is guaranteed. Run your own risk; Laptop
Logic is not liable for damages arising out of this
tutorial.
Risks
A warning before you scared? It is because the choice of
overclocking on a laptop should not be taken lightly. If you
do, there is a chance that you lead to your processor
overheating and damage, whether a person is generally able to
avoid the risk overclocking.
Increasing the frequency of your CPU, you can increase energy
consumption and temperature of your system. The increase in
temperature can lead to a reduction of life for the processor,
and overclock your system too, you will not be only a quantity
of heat, but was able to overload other components like the
motherboard and the hard disk, and if they contribute to
failure.
What is overclocking?
We flew over the stage from that in the last section, so that
all, if you want to know more, go to the next section to begin.
If you are curious to know why and how we can do, but then,
here is a little info.
When companies such as Intel, a processor, it is an inexact
science and, therefore, the CPU is in all likelihood be in a
position slightly higher frequency (1.8 GHz instead of 1.6 GHz
by example). The company is the chip at a certain frequency,
and place in computers. The chips, which are able, with higher
frequencies (2.0 GHz +) are higher prices and are in high-end
machines. The chips only of the low frequencies are low, less
expensive laptops.
Because they did not predict the number of processors with high
status it is related to what they need, some high-end
processors assessment at the end of low-end laptops and at a
frequency less than it can. Overclocking this change, because
the speed at which a component tells the CPU to process data.
If you are a happy man to buy a laptop, you can use the power
of your processor without having to pay for an upgrade CPU.
"So," you can say "Can I just crank up what is its maximum?
No.
While the processor is able, a certain frequency, said a
multiple of the frequency of FSB (FSB), which are not more than
30MHz without serious risks. If higher than this amount is
likely to experience hard disk and RAM, PCI and other
components.
An example that we want, when to show how it works, is composed
in such a way:
* CPU 1.5GHz and 100MHz FSB = 15x
20 * 100 MHz = 120MHz
* 120MHz (15) = 1.8 GHz
This may seem complicated, but it is not, and the software we
use math for you, so you worry. Remember that knowledge is
power, and a (basic) understanding of what happens, you can
make informed decisions.
Getting Started
Overclocking given in an article, not a mathematical article,
right? Now you can play. In this tutorial, we overclock a
laptop Dell Latitude D620.
1. You must, for the following three programs: Prime95, SetFSB
and CPU-Z. All three are free.
2. Run CPU-Z to find out what the motherboard of your laptop.
Do this by using the program, and then selecting the "parent"
tab.
3. If you have not already, download SetFSB.
4. Restart the computer and close all programs that you may
have to automatically. Finally, before you continue, all the
backup files that you can not lose (it's not too late to
return).
5. Prime95 Start, click the button that indicates that Gimp,
then browse Options> Torture stress test your system to see
how it is stable. Ideally, the program will last 12-24 hours,
but to start, you can for 30 minutes to an hour and see if each
error. If this is not the case, proceed to the next step. If
there is error, then your system is not compatible with the
stress of overclocking, and it would be dangerous.
If your system freezes immediately reset (shut it down). The
icon is red, when it occurs. If the icon changes to yellow,
torture-test has failed and you stop, navigation test->
Stop.
6. Start SetFSB and in the dropdown menu, select your chipset.
If your chipset does not like me, no, the next choice, and
press the GET FSB button and make sure the processor speed, in
our case, it was 1662.2MHz.
If your computer has been stable, if you have less stress in
Prime95, then click the right arrow cursor frequency, the FSB
for a little; FSB Click the button to the final.
7. Well, because you have increased the speed of something, you
must Prime95 again, this time at night and see if errors. If
this is not the case, then you can certainly the FSB a little
more. Repeat this procedure until Prime95 reports an error, but
note that if you, your CPU freeze, it cautious.
