Basic Overclocking 1 Runway Performance Computers with Overclock

Maybe we've often heard the term overclocking, but maybe some of us do not know what it is overclockable? Mostly the overclock can be interpreted as operating the device exceeds the standards applied by the manufacturer. Some of the hardware that often become 'victims' of the overclocker - called for the perpetrators overclock - is the processor, graphics card, and RAM memory.

Overclock a device is not without risk. Hardware overclock victims could have suffered fatal damage. Especially if it will be used to support day-to-day applications, of course, the age of the device will be more brief.

Then why need to overclock? With a user overclock will get the extra performance of the devices that were used. That's what finally pushed the computer users with limited funds to overclock.

Now overclock not only be efficient solutions to improve computer performance, but increasingly leads to the arts, hobbies and satisfying curiosity. It is further enhanced by more widespread competition in Indonesia overclock. Not only to show skill, but sometimes just to satisfy the desire to know.

How to Start Doing Overclocking?

In order to maximize overclocking needed some support, for example, if a user wants to overclock the processor, of course it must also be balanced by an extra cooling and adequate motherboard.

For this experiment, we will try to do a mild overclocking, using the Core i7 965 as' korban' her. The first thing to note is the Front Side Bus (FSB).

FSB can be said to be communication between the processor speed to memory. Raise the FSB speed is the basic technique for overclocking. Users can define their own through the BIOS FSB speed, surely it must be supported with adequate motherboard.

Please note, the FSB speed is closely related to memory. No matter if the user uses the memory type DDR1, DDR2 or DDR3 memory speed will always be 2 times the FSB speed. Although there are some motherboards that uses a ratio 1 to 1.33.

For example DDR2 800, it can be assumed that the speed is at 200MHz FSB. Why is that? Since memory is always running 2 times faster than the FSB, which is 400MHz, while the meaning of his own DDR is Double Data Rate, which means that the memory speed again increased to a 2-fold.
