my1stmacisaHACK Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 its a AMD sempron... how do i overclocked it? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35187-how-do-i-overclock-my-cpu/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotoh Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 it depends on your mobo. so just get in your BIOS and increase FSB speed or change CPU multiplier depending on what is available in your BIOS.

gotoh Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 it depends on how much you increase speed, what temperature you're CPU run at full load and how you cool it down. I can set my X2 3800 at 2,25Ghz (from 200Mhz FSB to 225Mhz FSB) without any issue. Temperature in windows at full load with dnetc increase by only 1°C for each core, it iddles at 3°C higher than at stock speed. My CPU cooler is really efficient when CPU temperature gets hotter (it's an Arctic freezer 64) you should google for overclocking websites as there are a lot on the web. Anyway, overclocking a mid range CPU won't make it run so much faster. If you want to overclock it a lot, you will need to buy better cooling kits, which might be as expensive as buying a faster CPU so most of the time, overclocking is not really interesting. It's just a way to think your hardware is a little faster than what it is supposed to be. BUT, some overclock enthousiast can achieve really strong overclocks with impressive cooling devices and show how far you can push your hardware. This can be fun, but also quite expansive...
