Overclocking on linux mint

[BlueLightning]

What is a good software to use for overclocking gpus and cpus on linux..?

[Enderman]

You use the bios to overclock CPUs.........

Are you sure you know what overclocking is?

For CPU's just overclock in the bios/uEFI. If you're using an nVidia card then you can overclock in the nVidia X Server settings(enable performance level editing).

As said above, either the bios, or just... the operating system if the manufacturer doesn't provide their own linux based software.

You use the BIO's to OC not the OS. LOL

Someone else should repeat this info, atleast one more time other then the guy below me.

Just use the BIOS. The technology to use software to overclock is quite not there yet. It is still very unstable in my opinion.

To be fair.. Bios is an Operating System.

Depending on the (UEFI) mainboard, software can be a good way of tweaking settings. Then just a regular reboot, and OC achieved.

guys..i know that you overclock the cpu in the bios.. i just have an old system and i was just trying to see if there was way to maybe bypass it. my mobo is so old that it doesnt have any of those options in the bios. im not retarded just curious. so if your just gonna talk crap just leave.

yes, but I highly doubt there's a version of ASUS Ai suite for Linux mint

depends on your GPU and drivers. When it comes to hardware and linux have a look on this site

All Windows are OS, but not all OS are Windows.

It's entirely possible that there is an open source counterpart to it.

Probably not, Linux Mint is a fairly large distro, and it's forked off of one of the largest distros out there. There'd be quite a bit of developer man power available.

The "OS" part of "BIOS" does not mean operating system.

A BIOS or a UEFI is not an operating system.

If your motherboard does not have the hardware necessary for overclocking, what makes you think that installing a piece of software makes it possible?

As far as I know, installing software does not change the circuitry and hardware components of a motherboard...

[BlueLightning]

that why i wasnt expecting to do such a big overclock on the cpu. nvm guys.

You got two or three O/S on a pc even though you just got one OS which is W7 on it.

I never knew.

Now I want a Linux Distro whose name is an acronym that also spells out "BIOS," and the "OS" part does mean operating system. Just to spite everyone.
