I used setfsb to overclock my emachine t3504, but cpu doesnt change!

[darkmwar]

ok, so i used setfsb, found the correct pll. and i adjust some numbers, and click set FPS button. So if i want to overclock my CPU, is that mean i have to leave the program on everytime? How do i know its overclocked? The number under properties, my computer doesnt change. It stays at 3.2 Ghz and in setfsb i over clocked it to 4.2Ghz. How do i make setfsb work to overclock my computer?

[strike]Errr... what CPU are you using?[/strike]

Sorry, didn't read your title.

When you change settings, do you always check what appears in your BIOS? If your settings are changing automatically, you'd see it there

You can't typically OEM computesr have locked BIOS's. To OP try ClockGen?

ALso use CPU-Z to check the CPU speed, and to see if it was overclock or not. Watch temps, stress test and don't overclock a large amount at a time. Go slow.

Thx, i used fsb and enter the number i found on a pin on my motherboard, then i overclocked it to 4.2 ghz and ran benchmark program and it actually improved., the performance of my cpu.

Nice overclock, remember to test it.

When i use stress tests, the coolcpu freezes and cause me to unable to see what the highest temperture is. and the graph is way too hard to check. is there a software that can record the highest temp and stress test at the same time?
