Overclock

Aang Yogya Posts about overclocking. Overclock, surely you've heard. By definition means it is running the computer at a higher clock speed than the specifications, according to Wikipedia overclock it means to run a computer component above the clock rate than it should. For example Duron 600MHz clock run at 1080MHz. Overclock it to its own preoccupations for computer enthusiasts. With minimal system, users trying to find creative, what part of the system can still be optimized, with additional costs and peripherals minimum. Although there was dangerous, but if you overclock with caution and not be anxious then a very small risk.

Fortunately overclock Loss

Overclock clear advantage, the PC can work faster. But there are also risks for this step. The lightest is the CPU does not want to work aka hangs. The most bitter, permanently damaged due to the processor chip processor temperature is too high. Processors who work at this high temperature can be reduced in years, that is designed to survive more or less for approximately 10 years. However, people who might have packed computer fad had worn ten years ago in a glass case and displayed in a private room or work space as a relic of history. So consider! Whether in the next 10 years you do not want to replace your current processor to wear? Are you sure your processor at that time can still be used for future applications? If indeed you would not use the processor next ten years, why not try to overclock it? To overcome the problem of temperature, cooling efforts should be made. Chilling is what will be our primary concern in overclock. Several years ago, forcing the processor overclock usually only works on clock speed one level above it, such as a Pentium 120MHz to 133MHz. But now, with the development of bus speed on the motherboard, you can also increase the clock and bus speeds.

BUS Clock and CPU Clock

At this overclock, it is important to know the concept of the CPU clock and bus clock. CPU clock is a clock signal in the CPU, including the processor. CPU clock is what is often called on processor specifications. For example a Pentium 4 2.4 GHz. That is, the processor gets a share of the CPU clock of 2.4 GHz. Clock means not watch or clock. Here means a signal that is used by the processor to trigger the occurrence of a process. More details here. Suppose a processor will do the summation, which is done first is to retrieve data from memory. But the sum can not directly do, because waiting for the clock signal, which is analogous to the trigger of a gun. The higher the clock frequency / clock speed, the more signals the trigger / trigger provided within a certain period, so the more processes that can be triggered during this period. Suppose a PC Pentium 4 2.4 GHz. This processor has a clock frequency of 2 400 million signals per second. Suppose for a summation process requires a clock signal of fruit, then with a Pentium 4 2.4 GHz processor, can be a maximum of 2400 million times the sum. Bus clock itself is a clock that occurred in the data path (bus) on the motherboard. This bus is analogous to a highway, which will pass through the bits of data, where data is analogous to a car on the highway. The bus clock will be the guide when the data transfer between components via bus. For example, data transfer to and from the RAM or hard disk will be through the bus, and will be triggered by the bus clock. Existing bus in the motherboard usually has a standard clock. PCI, for example, speednya clock is half the bus clock, so the default clock of 33MHz. While the AGP, the default clock of 66MHz. If the buses is increased above default clock of the connected peripherals and apparently unable to work on a standard clock, then the system can not work normally. The first prescription is to overclock you should already understand the work a computer and identify its components.

Type overclock

The relationship between CPU clock and bus clock woven by a multiplier / multiplier. Simply put, the CPU clock = Bus clock * Multiplier. For example, AMD AthlonXP 2000 + with clock speed of 1666MHz standard is calculated by multiplying the bus clock of 133MHz with a multiplier 12.5 (twelve and a half). Pentium 4 2.4 GHz with 200MHz bus is the multiplication of multiplier 12. Can also multiply with the 266MHz bus clock multiplier 9. Well, are you finished 2.394 GHz (2394MHz)? Indeed, there are rounding the numbers to be intact. Thus, in order to overclock, which you can increase the bus clock, multiplier, or both. If the multiplier is raised, then the CPU clock will go up, but the bus clock fixed. For the example above, the AMD AthlonXP 2000 + (1666MHz real), if the multiplier was increased to 20, then the CPU clock up to 2660MHz real. But if the bus clock is raised, the CPU clock will also automatically increases. For example, a Pentium 4 2.4 GHz with a bus clock of 200MHz and the multiplier 12 would be a Pentium 4 3GHz encouraged if the bus clock to 266MHz. Would be better if that is raised is clocknya bus. But the second alternative is more difficult, considering the ability of peripherals that are connected to the bus may not be able to work on a standard clock. If the CPU clock is stuck, while the bus was still strong, just lower the multiplier and raise the bus clock. It's still better than the first alternative.

Hardware requirements

To overclock, which is the primary concern is the processor, motherboard, and memory, since this is the third component that would set limits overclocking. On the processor and motherboard, its limitations are at operating temperature. High clock will increase the heat in both components, and to some extent will cause the computer to hang or even do not want to read the hard disk when booting. For processors, Intel is a manufacturer of processors than AMD overclock proscribe full support for overclocking affairs. To find a motherboard motherboard with good quality and can support several types of bus clock and the multiplier. Also, look for a motherboard that has support for various supply voltage CPU. Usually starting with a 1.1 volt to 2.3 volt with the increase per 0025. If the board supports a higher supply voltage of 3.2 volts for example, is even better, because it may be necessary to ensure a successful overclock by raising the supply voltage processors. Until today (till the first time of this writing) motherboard that has the specifications as above is a motherboard with VIA chipset and N-Force2/N-Force3. In memory, the bus clock high possibility can not be followed by RAM. Increased bus clock will increase the speed of read and write to memory so that if memory is not supported, there will be a failure to read and write process memory. The faster access time (access time) of a memory, will increasingly support a high bus clock. Now is the era of DDR memory that has a memory clock is higher than the previous generation. There are several types of DDR memory types. PC-1600 (133MHz), PC-2100 (266MHz), PC-2700 (333MHz), PC-3200 (400MHz), and PC-4000 (500MHz), which appeared recently.

About the Intel processor

Before the second-generation Pentium, we could easily mengoverclock intel processor output by increasing the multiplier, but since the advent of the Pentium 2, hope for a way to manipulate the multiplier overclocking gone already because since then Intel processors have locked multipliers homemade and no one has found a way any time to reopen it. The only way to mengoverclock intel processor is by raising the FSB. problems will arise when we in vain just raise the FSB without considering other factors. So how can we know a good processor for dioverclock? To choose an Intel processor has a clock speed of the lowest in each variant. Why? ... Here, processor cores made in a place called wafers. Of a wafer can be made hundreds of processor cores. Intel processor 800MHz FSB had started 2.4 GHz, 2.8 GHz and 3GHz is made in a single wafer. Lho ... why the speed difference? Quality is the best processor that is printed at the center of the wafer, the more kepinggir quality decreases. Because of stability reasons which did not pass the test processor speed of 3GHz, will be tested at speed of 2.8 GHz. If it still does not pass the test then downgraded to 2.4 GHz. Typically at this speed the processor is able to work well. For that reason it could be a 2.4 GHz processor which is now in circulation can be improved at 3GHz speed by doing some manipulation. For example raising the core voltage (V core).
