PC Improvement (Overclocking)


Roboes

Recommended Posts

Hello,

My PC is pretty old, 8+ yrs,

BUt 8 years ago, this machine was pretty decent.

Here are the specs:  attached.

 

I'd like to maybe overclock etc and I could use some tip/advice.

i know theres voltage settings involved.

I am familiar w BIOS, etc and how to make changes,

but I tread lightly.

I wanna get the most outta my PC,

eventually I want a new one.

 

Advice?

Thx.

also,

 

used HWinfo and I know i have some older drivers,

but I a leery of using "driveragent" or some shit,

sometimes. ur PC gets worse w some driver issues,

any opinion on that app?

I'd say you have already received the most out of your machine. I wouldn't OC anything in your PC.  Just let it ride on out into the sunset.

 

Overclocking your system would probably require more money to be spent, and the return on investment would not be in your favor as machines today are capable to do what you wish almost out of the box. I'd keep your 8yr+ machine as is. Overclocking it would jeopardize your relationship with it.... :(

I use Driver Booster. It's the only program I've found that will actually update drivers in the free version.

For the drivers, I used to use Slim Drivers app and it worked quite decently for some time, then my anti-malware scanner deleted it. Now I'm using IObit Driver Booster Pro and it works very well. Of course, keeping drivers up-to-date helps keep pc stability and performance, but if your ET right now works well, I wouldn't recommend updating your graphics card drivers. For ET, usually, older hardware, drivers etc. = better performance. If you decide to buy a new pc, you will have struggle with the performance drop in ET or other problems.
