now i got a intel ®pentuim® dual cpu e2180 socket 775 lga mini tower pc

with 8 gb hard drive from 1 T and 1 from 500 gb 

 

this afternoon my time i will have a new pc 

Quad Core Q 6600 -4X 2400 MHz with 6 gb 

 

i read a lot of that you can overclocking from 2.4 to 3.0 mhz or 3.2 mhz

 

as that is possible so yes ho i have to start to have it from 2.4 to 3.2 ;)

What helps is an SSD and more memory

 

...Or STD and NO memory about it :D

 

Sorry just something that crossed on my mind at this late hour :(

Found an interesting article on one guy's experience with that processor. http://www.overclock.net/t/289573/my-experience-overclocking-the-q6600-a-basic-guide-walkthrough

 

But I agree with RendeL on it. I'd only recommend overclocking for fun. Not on your main computer. Unless you really understand the concepts and really need to squeeze every bit of power.

 

Would need an aftermarket cooling solution at minimum. And even with that, if a fan stops or thermal paste dries out while you're not looking.. That'll be the end of the processor and possibly the mainboard too. Or even a small fire if the voltages get really out of range.. Safe voltages depend on the current state of your processor. From wear and tear to manufacturing defects. So you'd need to do a lot of testing with slowly raising the voltage incrementally and making sure it stays stable and at a safe temperature with each step.

 

But if you get passed all of that and have a stable overclock. (Good temps, no random lockups, or BSOD) You'll still be looking at a reduction in cpu hours. And your electric bill will go up a bit. All for a fairly minimal gain in performance.

 

Other things you can do, if you haven't already. Is go through and disable services and such that you aren't using. Windows comes with a lot of background noise. Can also disable animations and other hardware accelerated features of the windows ui. Is a lot of info on the net about what each feature does. Clean out your startup list. Remove unneeded programs. Keep your drives defragmented. That stuff alone will give you a pretty decent boost and lower the wear on your cpu and drives.

 

Congrats on the new computer. ^_^

i understand and keep it the way he is 

buld for no changing cpu   

 

i'm just put 2 ram gb mor in so he runs 8 

and go look for a good vidoe card  

 

 

thx for info you guys give me ;)

It is useless to do so, only stresses your cpu, makes it heat and doesn't give you the wow effect you might think.

 

//EDIT: If you really have to try, you can use Msi Afterburner for OC, use it at your own risk: https://gaming.msi.com/features/afterburner

I do agree to some extend. But, if you do O/C responsibly, you can still get a gain of 10% while keeping a stable system.

 

Msi afterburner isn't it supposed to function only with motherboard from MSI?

Wouldn't it be easier to use setup BIOS to increase speed of ram and cpu?

 

To OC the GPU, however, yep you have software solutions.

 

(well, ofc better avoid doing it with a laptop, ok? :)  i did ruin when i was younger 2 of them 'cause i did it with fury <3  )

If it is a "ready" packet pc and not self built, on some brands you cant even get to all bios settings (like the oc part), therefore the software does that.

 

Also the reason I posted the link for afterburner, because if you want some safe benefit from oc, you should oc the gpu instead of cpu. There should be option for safe oc and the software tells you if you try to oc too much. Also the fan control included, tho some motherboards doesn't have all the options.

 

And as far as I know, this works with all common brands, like I have Asus motherboard and I can use 95% of the settings.

 

Yes it is true that if you have a good setup and IF you really know what you're doing, some oc will boost your pc a little, but also there is always the danger that you end up with a toaster. Cooling is the issue mostly when ppl slide the bar like no tomorrow and PUFF... :D
