Overclocking a motherboard is as simple as adjusting a few numbers.
The ASUS P5LD2-VM motherboard from ASUSTeK Computers is a motherboard that supports the Intel LGA 775-model processor, meaning that the board supports Core 2 Duo and Pentium 4 processors. Because it is an Intel chip set, overclocking the CPU inside the board is a relatively simple process, requiring only that you know navigate through your BIOS menus, a process that in itself only requires you to use a couple of buttons.
Instructions
1. Reset your computer, either through your "Start" menu or by physically holding down the power button on your PC until your computer powers off. If you do the second option, press the power button again to turn your computer back on.
2. Enter your BIOS by pressing "F2" when the ASUS splash screen appears on your monitor. This will boot up your motherboard's BIOS software.
3. Go into your "Advanced BIOS Options" menu. Do this by navigating through the menu options with your keyboard's arrow keys and pressing your "Enter" key when the option is highlighted.
4. Locate your "FSB" or "Front-Side Bus" speed. Once located, highlight it and press "Enter" to edit it.
5. Put in your new FSB speed either by using the arrow keys or manually putting in a new speed using the numerical keys. The speed will vary based on the CPU in your machine. Once done, press "Enter" to set the new speed.
6. Exit your BIOS by pressing your "Esc" (or "Escape" on some keyboards) key. When prompted, press the "Y" key to save your options and have your computer reboot with the new CPU speeds.
