Gigabyte has added full support to its boards for overclocking capacity, with public overclocking competitions and a new "cloud" overclocking technology. The company has added multiple native programs to its line of motherboard utilities, including its proprietary "easy tune" software and "Cloud OC" software, both available from Gigabyte's utility websites. Using these software applications, Gigabytes motherboards can be overclocked from the PC or with a wireless connection in the case of Cloud OC.
Instructions
1. Navigate to Gigabyte's support website (see Resources). Select "Support and downloads" from the top menu and your product from the drop-down menus.
2. Navigate to the "Utilities" section of the support site to locate the version of EasyTune or Cloud OC that is compatible with your motherboard. Download and install the software on your PC.
3. Open the software you have chosen and select the overclocking button if using EasyTune. In both applications, select which components you wish to overclock and set the speeds or frequencies to higher levels. Both programs allow the user to overclock the CPU, memory, fan and add-on cards.
4. If using Cloud OC, and you wish to set up remote overclocking, follow the instructions provided in the program to overclock from a distance. To begin the process, set up a master password, determine the IP address of the machine and connect to the machine with a remote device using the IP address and master password. The controls can be used on the remote device in the same way as if you were running the program from the machine itself.
