Fudzilla: "We've learned that Intel is going to change its policy on overclocking once it moves away from the LGA775 platform onto the desktop Nehalem platform, which is currently known as Bloomfield, which uses the LGA1366 socket. This will be the only platform from Intel which will overclock in the future, as the company is not going to support overclocking on other platforms.Below the Bloomfield is the Lynnfield and Havendale processors, both using the LGA1160 socket. Neither of these are likely to get any overclocking abilities, although we're not sure how Intel can prevent third-party motherboard manufacturers from adding overclocking features to their boards.However, with most of the Northbridge being located inside the CPU of these models, it might be possible for Intel to make some

We PC enthusiasts have been co-opting enterprise-class hardware for our own personal systems for years now. We got our first taste of the creamy smoothness of SMP on dual-socket workstation boards long before you could get two cores conveniently packaged on the same chip. Tempted by lightning-fast access times and 10K-RPM spindle speeds, we adopted Western Digital's Raptor hard drive. And who can forget AMD's Toledo-based dual-core Opterons—overclocking marvels compatible with the same 939-pin socket as Athlon 64 X2 desktop chips. I've had what was a relatively inexpensive Opteron 165 designed to run at 1.8GHz happily chugging away at 2.4GHz on a standard desktop motherboard for a couple of years now.Although they share the same architecture and performance characteristics as their deskt

Overclock es un anglicismo de uso habitual en informática. Literalmente significa sobre el reloj, es decir, aumentar la frecuencia de reloj de la CPU. La práctica conocida como overclockingpretende alcanzar una mayor velocidad de reloj para un componente electrónico (por encima de las especificaciones del fabricante). La idea es conseguir un rendimiento más alto, o superar los umbrales actuales de rendimiento, aunque esto pueda suponer una pérdida de estabilidad o acortar la vida útil del componente. Pues entre todas las dificultades tecnicas que hay que vencer para realizar el overclocking, una de las más importantes es sin duda el mantener frío o mejor dicho dentro de las temperaturas más bajas posibles a nuestros componentes estresados, especialemente el procesador. Las tecnicas más comunes son por medio de sistemas de enfriamiento por agua o refrigerante, ventiladores, disipadores de cobre enormes, etc. Pues el motivo de este post es mencionarles un nuevo método, tal v

Here some Step-by-Step Use of Jumpers for PC overclocking1. Identify all important CPU characteristics, labeled on the CPU case, marked on the box, or specified in the documentation. These data include processor clock frequency, CPU bus frequency, and supply voltage. It is recommended that you memorize or write down this information.2. Power down the computer, remove the case from the system unit, and consult the documentation supplied with the motherboard.3. When working with the opened case of the system unit, avoid static electricity, which can damage sensitive semiconductor elements. It is recommended that you touch the case with your hand before proceeding. It would be even better to hold the case with one hand during your work. Besides this, avoid dropping any objects, especially metallic ones, on the device boards. If an object does fall, remove it immediately; be very careful when performing this operation.4. Locate the motherboard jumpers responsible for setting the values of

OverviewDepending on the capabilities of the motherboard, specifying the parameters settings that define CPU overclocked modes can be done either by using BIOS Setup or by setting the motherboard jumpers. Evaluation of the overall system performance and stability can be done using specialized tools, which usually include test programs.There are two ways of changing the system parameters. The first one is to use the appropriate settings in BIOS Setup. Most current motherboards that provide built-in overclocking capabilities, such as SoftMenu from Abit, allow the bus frequency and various voltages to be measured directly in BIOS Setup. All such capabilities are described in the documentation supplied with the motherboard. However, many motherboards only allow parameters to be measured using jumpers and switches located on the motherboard itself. It is first necessary to figure out which method of overclocking is provided by the motherboard. Then, you'll have to carefully read the docum

Overclocking to Achieve Processor and Motherboard CompatibilityOverviewMotherboards cannot always work with newer processors, even if those processors correspond to the standards of those motherboards. In such cases, the recommendation is to update the BIOS code. It often is difficult to implement this advice because it requires a second processor manufactured with the earlier technology. Unfortunately, few end users have a second processor at their disposal. In most cases, however, this compatibility problem can be solved by unlocking the frequency multiplier.(Materials provided with the permission of http://www.overclockers.ru, a Russian-language Web site.)Physically, AMD's first Athlon XP processors based on the Thoroughbred core (0.13-micrometer technology) were no different than Athlon XP processors based on the Palomino core (0.18-micrometer technology). The technological process changed, and the core area, operating voltage, and heat generation decreased. Nevertheless, the firs

CPU overclocking can be fun and at the same time dangerous to your computer system. Here are a few tips to get you pointed in the right direction and possibly help you out of messy situations while attempting to CPU over clocking. 1.First of all you need to familiarize yourself with the motherboard that you will be working with. Some motherboards have jumper or switch blocks on the board that you manually have to adjust, while others you can change the desired settings in the system software...

I have to admit being a little surprised by the number of people out there still trying their hand at overclocking their PC’s. If you’re looking for a new CPU as the basis for a system you plan to overclock, Intel’s Core 2 Due e6300 looks to be, pound to pound, one of the better options. Reports are that it’s possible to get this CPU up from its 1.86GHz default clock speed up to 2.6GHz, about the same level as the E6700, which costs considerably more. X-bit Labs reports getting it to 2.94GHz (http://tinyurl.com/2gs3jx). Of course, there are no gurantees when it comes to overclocking, but the E6300 us gaining a bit of a reputation as being an overclocker’s dream. So, if you plan to have a go, this is a relatively inexpensive chip to look at and play around with.
