Riassunto

Unleash the hidden power of your PC today with The Ultimate Overclocking Handbook. 224 pages of expert overclocking advice and tutorials. Want a PC with insane speeds for games and applications? Then this guide is just for you! Packed with advice on the art of overclocking to help you get the most out of your kit for free, you'll discover exactly how to perform the speed adjustments that will give you real-world results. Dozens of pieces of kit have been tested, there's information on processors, pushing graphics cards and memory modules to their limits, and cooling to the absolute extremes. Features Included: Overclocking basics Speed up your processor Graphics cards & RAM Advanced overclocking Keeping it cool Building & modding The joy of building your own PC or upgrading an old one is the fact that you can constantly improve on what you've got with free tweaks. Granted, every PC owner will have to purchase new kit at some point (and we have plenty of advice on that), but this guide will turn you into an overclocker, and that means getting the most from your kit for free! In this guide you'll discover exactly how to perform the speed adjustments that will give you real-world results. There's no theoretical stuff here, we've tested dozens of pieces of kit and we'll show you exactly how to get the same brilliant results we have. Overclocking today is also a rapidly changing field, caught between the ageing Front Side Bus technology, and superspeed CPUs and motherboards that automatically overclock. That's why this guide covers both from tweaking the latest kit to make it as good as it can be, to the classic system overclock of CPUs, graphics cards and RAM. We also devote our attention to hard drives and even the humble mouse! The pursuit of the perfect overclocked system can be both fun and extremely rewarding, giving you the sort of performance you would usually have got from a much more expensive rig. Remember that every component has been tested to keep it well under manufacturer's specifications. That means they can be pushed much further, sometimes by more than 50 per cent. In the case of highly overclockable CPUs, such as the ageing Core 2 Duos, this means you get the kind of performance seen in the very latest chips. Overclocking is not without its risks, though. But don't panic, you're in good hands, we'll show you how to overclock safely, though your kit will obviously differ from what we show here. We've got a big chapter on processors, of course, but we also delve into pushing graphics cards and memory modules to their limits, and cooling to the absolute extremes. Have fun and good luck!
