Overclocking Cpu For the first time!
Hi, I would to learn and how to overclock my cpu

spec

-hd 5450
- Intel core duo E7400 2.80ghz now clock to 3.5ghz and temp was down 60 and having (game crashes and pc goes to blue screen of death when gaming)

Thank you !

Did some more quick research and you may be somewhat out of luck. It so happens that your motherboard does NOT allow you to change the vcore. You can adjust the FSB speed which you've been doing to try to get to 3.5Ghz, but you cannot raise or lower the vcore voltage. FSB x Multiplier is how your CPU speed is derived. You can try to disable Intel EIST and C1E support as those will dynamically adjust your CPU speed based on load and adjust power savings, sleep states, ect. These options can affect overclocking stability when turned on. Without knowing right now what your ram speed is rated at for stock speeds, I can't say whether you need to adjust your FSB/DRAM ratio. If disabling EIST and C1E doesn't help, try lowering your setting "Adjust CPU Base Frequency" from 334 to 324. This would lower your speed to 3.4 Ghz instead of 3.5. This may be more stable since the voltage would be the same and you can't change that. For stability, try some gaming first and report back what happens.

You should download CPU-Z and run the program to see what your actual ram modules are rated at before adjusting settings further, then you can narrow down whether it's your cpu speed or your dram speed that could be affecting stability. This is where the dram ratios come into play later. Take pics if neccesary.

Do you know what the brand and model motherboard that you have? Also, remember when your adjusting your cpu speed with your E7400 processor, it will adjust your ram speed as well. What is the actual rated speed of your ram?


yes that one! ratio dram . but why vcore adjust was not on my g41m p33 combo.. were is it??

You really should do some research online before "jumping" into the world of overclocking. If you don't learn the basics of how things are done/need adjusted you can become easily overwhelmed. If you start playing w/ voltages that you don't understand what you're doing, you can easily fry or at least partially damage components in your computer. You need to know what settings you should adjust with your particular motherboard/cpu combo. The settings change a little to a lot with each generation of INTEL/AMD Processors. Just some quick browsing will get your started. I could be more helpful with software and settings to use, but I would feel somewhat responsible if I gave you the quick & easy method and you ended up damaging your computer. Once you learn a bit on your own about what your getting into, come back here and I'm sure people would be willing to help.


in my bios i dont found vcore adjust place. my vcore was 1.240 at 3.5 clock i think the vcore to low?

here the pic of in bios and other..

Crashing typically means your overclock is not stable. This occurs because when booting windows and running small tasks such as browsing the internet your cpu isn't being pushed. However in game play the cpu is often being ran harder causing it to crash. Did you change your vcore at all? If so what was it before and after? Did you stress test? What cooler are you using?




im using stock cooler with some dust and i dint put silicon paste . but im goin to buy it tomorrow. what is vcore? btw im going to buy some extra fans and going to clean up and put some silicon up. but why is always crashes and what is vcore?Did me stress test? nope.


Did you follow a guide on how to overclock your processor or did you just use a program or your bios to overclock it? Overclocking never should be done with a stock cooler, also are you sure the stock cooler didnt already have thermal compound on it? They usually come with compound pre applied. Buy a cpu cooler, NEVER overclock that heavily with stock, stock isnt designed to handle any kind of overclock higher than maybe .1 Ghz . Vcore stands for voltage core, when you overclock you have to allow more voltage to your processor, it depends though, if youre using an auto overclocking utility in your bios i dont think you need to worry about it



I'm overclocking with bios.
