CPU overclocking

[Abdul Samad]

how can i overclock my cpu it is Core 2 Dou 2.8GHz E6300

and also it does not have option of overclocking in bios

is there any other way

Overclocking at this generation requires use of the FSB, which I do not know how to do. There's someone on this forum who does though. (Who I can't remember).

i think FSB is front side bus how can i even use it to overclock my cpu

Your CPU ratio is determined by the FSB speed multiplied by the CPU ratio. Changing the FSB speed therefore changes the CPU frequency.

what is cpu ratio

The number which, when multiplied with the FSB, gives the CPU speed:

An i7-4790 has a multiplier of 36, which, when multiplied with the bus speed (100) give the frequency of 3600MHz (3.6GHz)

how did u know it has 100 bus speed 

can u tell me little deeply

Because it said in the BIOS. All modern chipsets and CPUs and such use multiplier overclocking (aka changing the multiplier to overclock) instead of using the FSB. The bus speed (can be shown as BCLK in the BIOS) is almost always 100MHz nowadays.

 

I'm sure someone could've explained this a lot better than me.

how could i7 processor can have 100 MHz FSB where as my low core 2 dou has 1066 MHz FSB

Because FSB != Bus. Nowadays, motherboards don't have a northbridge (or southbridge, I can't remember which) therefore an FSB isn't needed. Also, speed doesn't mean everything and it's duo, not dou.

modern motherboard do not  have north-bridge

and about overclocking my cpu can it no be overclocked be with some software

Never do software overclocking, always do it through the BIOS.

After some googling, I found a guide on how to do this:

why not from software

Usually applies too much voltage and that leads to decreased lifespan.

You realise there are only 2 popular ways to overclock 775 Through software right? SetFSB, which requires you knowing your boards PLL, and Memset, which allwos you to change memory settings inside of windows, there is no voltage control on conroe through software.

I'm more used to modern software overclocking.
