Overclocking allows you to run the computer hardware -- primarily the processor -- at a higher speed than the manufacturer default value. Typically you achieve overclocking by increasing the Front Side Bus (FSB) frequency in the Input/Output System (BIOS) system setup. At this frequency the computer processor (CPU) communicates with the motherboard chip and hence the CPU speed is proportional to the FSB value. On ASUS motherboards use the menu "Extreme Tweaker" in BIOS for overclocking.
Instructions
1. Restart your computer.
2. Wait for the message "Press DEL to enter SETUP" on the display; then press the key "Del" to enter BIOS.
3. Navigate to the "Extreme Tweaker" menu in BIOS with the arrow keys the keyboard, and press "Enter."
4. Choose the menu option "Ai Overclock Tuner" with the arrow keys and press "Enter." Then select the option "Manual."
5. Go to the option "FSB Frequency" using the arrow keys and note to the default value of FSB - 400, for example.
6. Press "Enter" and enter a new value -- 450, for example -- to set FSB frequency.
7. Press "F10" on the keyboard to save the changes and exit BIOS.
8. Repeat the steps 1 to 7, increasing the FSB frequency with 20 to 50 MHz increments until you reach the maximum value when you computer still runs stable.
