**TUTORIAL** How to Overclock Your Pentium (Never had an Ath
Who's overclocked their processor before? Who has theirs overclocked ATM? Mine's a P4 2.4GHz which I've bumped up to 2.7 GHz (150 x 18). I forgot to plug the fan/heatsink back in yesterday and got an error message when detecting my IDE drives that I should check my VCore or something, and it turned out that my processor was running at a hefty 93 degrees centigrade! Jesus Christ! It's now running at 58, and hasn't tripped or owt!
So has anyone on TLR overclocked before, it's well easy! I might post a tute if people want it!
EDIT 1:
Here it is anyway:
DISCLAIMER: Any damage caused by your coherence to this tutorial are in no way linked to the stupidity of the author
. Continuing to do this means you accept this, and any problems are of your own stupidity, not mine!
1) When your computer starts up, it will first of all 'count' your MB-RAM, press delete frantically to get into the CMOS/BIOS settings. If you have a password, enter it. If you don't know the password, your screwed, and might as well give up.
2) Go into the Power Settings (or something like that) and look at Memory Frequency (something like that). On Pentium 4 Motherboards (is that politically incorrect
) the core frequency is 18, then that is multiplied by say for example, 100 to give a 1.8GHz, 133 for a 2.4GHz, or 200 for a 3.6GHz.
3) Edit this to set the CPU core, and don't worry, that battered old PC100 RAM won't be affected lol!
4) DO THE MATH! If you have a 2.4 GHz like me, and want to bump it up to a 2.7 GHz (like me), then change the Memory Frequency (or whatever it is) to 150.
N.B. IMPORTANT: Be warned, overclocking too much will result in your CPU 'tripping', namely locking up at loading, etc. This is the sign that your CPU is too highly overclocked, so reduce the Frequency.
Sorry it's a bit vague, but I don't have access to the college CMOS/BIOS here becuse of password protection.

EDIT 2:
I think an Athlon Motherboard is similar, so don't worry!
