what the hell is OC

i nEeD HeLp · Apr 25, 2009

ok i now what OC is but how do you do it? does it make your computer run any faster? and if so can you people tell me how to over clock my computer. i have a

Processor Number 1
Name AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+
Speed [Estimated] 2009MHz
Speed [Registry] 2009MHz
Processor Type OEM Primary
APIC Physical ID 0x00

what ever all that means. so would it be possible for a easy to foloow guide (maybe with pics) for my model?

what type of motherboard?

AKlass · Apr 25, 2009

judging from his emachines case he has an emachines which wont OC

i nEeD HeLp · Apr 25, 2009

emachines don't OC?

ps how do u find out what kind of mother board you have?

MRCL · Apr 25, 2009

Read this. I learned what OC is and how to do it by reading this guide. Kursah is my hero.

And yes, some machines don't want to be oc'ed. My laptop for example.

BroBQ · Apr 25, 2009

oh, didnt see that... best thing for that... toss out window

i nEeD HeLp · Apr 25, 2009

i nEeD HeLp · Apr 25, 2009

i know ......lol

i nEeD HeLp · Apr 25, 2009

so i cant do it

DonInKansas · Apr 25, 2009

Run CPU-Z to find out all the chip/mobo stuff without cracking open your case.

i nEeD HeLp · Apr 25, 2009

is there a way i can copy/paste results here?

The PCs you buy in shops can't be OCed ;s
Next time you buy a PC, ask here for advice

Print Screen xD

kyle2020 · Apr 25, 2009

Drop us a print screen, however im 90% sure that if its a prebuilt machine thats mass made, ie emachines, dell, gateway and so on, that the motherboard will not have overclocking features.

hat · Apr 25, 2009

yep... pretty much the only way you can oc is if you built the computer yourself. the motherboards they use in prebuilt machines are oem motherboards and have no such thing as overclocking options

i nEeD HeLp · Apr 25, 2009

ok thanks anyways.
oh one more question im getting a new video card this week, would i be able to OC that?

Yeah you can use software for that. Rivatuner, ATI tool, or evga precision (if it's evga card) can all be used vc tweaks.

you can use evga precision on any nvidia card. I used it on my 8600gts and even my integrated 8100

js01 · Apr 25, 2009

If you know the clock generator you can use this program here http://www13.plala.or.jp/setfsb/
But it's probably too confusing for somebody that's never overclocked before.

2 questions, how much memory ram do you have?
Also, what slots do you have and what card are you buying.

And Thank you for supporting eMachines!

I thought that was the case but I couldn't remember.

Yes god knows where we'd be w/o emachines. :rolleyes:

sneekypeet · Apr 25, 2009

Id be careful of card selection as well. Look into the PSU in that emachines and see if it will even power what you are after.

+1 A few years ago I picked up a bajillion of their lappies from a warehouse. Gateway still sold them a year or two later. They were solid laptops. I made a nice $$$ selling them to people and bought myself a real machine

He has the model T3265 , but i can't seem to find anything on it. My guess he has one 16x pcie slot .
