Overclock A Socket 478

You can overclock a socket 478 via its BIOS.


People who overclock a computer system want to increase the speed of the machine. Usually, computer users focus on overclock a computer's CPU (central processing unit). When you overclock a CPU, it lets you experience a big increase in speed as well as video graphics without the need to perform any hardware upgrades. If you want to overclock a socket 478, you can do so via the BIOS of its motherboard.


Instructions


1. Turn off your laptop or desktop. Reboot your computer while pressing the "Delete" button to go into your BIOS.


2. Go to "Frequency." Configure your RAM to the "Unlinked" option. This enables only your CPU, rather than your system RAM to overclock.


3. Go to "CPU Clock Speed" and then "FSB." Then, click "External Clock" to find the "Front Side Bus" of your CPU.


4. Increase your "Front Side Bus" in tiny portions such as in values of five. Save your changes via your "F10" function.


5. Reboot your machine and load your operating system. Verify the stability of the overclock process via a video game you enjoy. This causes your system to use more resources than it would normally. If you do not notice a difference in speed, restart your machine once more into BIOS mode, and continue to increase your Front Side Bus value until you feel comfortable with the results.
