Even a small bump in PC performance can delay the need to upgrade your CPU, keeping money in your pocket.<\/p>\n<p>Today I\u2019ll walk you through simple overclocking steps that can boost processor speeds 10 percent or more. If you\u2019re a gamer, video artist, or media streamer, that\u2019s a useful, no-cost upgrade. Read on if you want your PC to go faster!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"toc\" id=\"toc-1\"><strong>What is\u00a0overclocking, anyway?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Overclocking is a technique for tweaking various types of PC hardware, so that it runs faster than the manufacturer\u2019s intended specification. Many processors, RAM modules, and graphics cards can be overclocked, usually by adjusting their settings via your motherboard\u2019s UEFI BIOS. Operate in safe margins and overclocking shouldn\u2019t damage your PC. But, as we\u2019ll discuss, it\u2019s important to manage the additional heat that accelerated hardware can generate.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"toc\" id=\"toc-2\"><strong>Some tips for the journey<\/strong><\/h3>\n<aside class=\"emo emo-sb\">\n<h6 class=\"nav-title\">The best gaming CPU for most people<\/h6>\n<div class=\"product-details\">\n<figure class=\"productFigure\"><span><img border=\"0\" data-productid=\"1443174\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41PHJMoCeFL.jpg\" class=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><span class=\"product-name\" data-productid=\"1443174\">AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core, 12-Thread CPU<\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>There are a few guiding principles worth considering before you overclock a CPU. First, not all processors can be easily overclocked. If you\u2019re Team AMD, you\u2019re probably in luck, as all modern Ryzen processors can be overclocked in B- and X-series AM4 motherboards. Intel, however, locks most of its mainstream CPUs to prevent smart users from purchasing a budget component and jacking up its performance. Pricier enthusiast processor lines (identified by a K or X suffix, such as the Intel Core i5-10600K<a class=\"removelink\" href=\"#\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"removelink-tooltip\" style=\"display: none;\" data-removeparamvalues=\"Intel Core i5-10600K|Intel|https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1558676-REG\/intel_bx8070110600k_core_i5_10600k_processor_12m.html|B&amp;H Photo|Intel Core i5-10600K|2|Add Link\">Remove non-product link<\/span><\/a>), on the other hand, are sold unlocked and can therefore be overclocked.<\/p>\n<p>Even then, bear in mind that processors are unique slabs of silicon and electronics. Some processors can tolerate higher operating speeds better than others\u2014even those of the same model and specification. It\u2019s known as the \u201csilicon lottery\u201d for a reason!<\/p>\n<p>Stable overclocks entail a delicate balance of speed and heat. The more you push your processor, the hotter it\u2019s going to get. If your PC becomes a little <em>too<\/em> toasty, integrated fail-safe measures should shut off the power before those expensive components are damaged. To keep your overclocked PC stable, your job is to keep it cool.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"emo emo-sb\">\n<h6 class=\"nav-title\">The closed-loop cooler in PCWorld\u2019s GPU testing rig<\/h6>\n<div class=\"product-details\">\n<figure class=\"productFigure\"><span><img border=\"0\" data-productid=\"1440978\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51lKYMgZIiL.jpg\" class=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><span class=\"product-name\" data-productid=\"1440978\">EVGA CLC 240 closed-loop liquid-cooler<\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Budget CPU coolers (the stock heatsink-and-fan assembly that ships with many processors) are going to struggle here.

Obviously, these steps may need to be tweaked for your particular hardware, but the principles still apply.<\/p>\n<p>Before you get started, be sure to download and install the latest BIOS software for your motherboard from the manufacturer\u2019s website. It\u2019s an important step to ensure you have the latest configuration options and that your efforts aren\u2019t frustrated by known issues.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s boot up the PC, press F2 (or Delete) at startup to access the BIOS, and get started.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see below, this processor runs at a base frequency of 4GHz (4,000MHz).

The voltage applied to your CPU varies continually. Faster operating speeds require additional power for stability. Your motherboard handles this behind the scenes but, should you wish, you can set manual voltage levels to support your overclocking efforts.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"large \"><a class=\"zoom\" href=\"https:\/\/images.techhive.com\/images\/article\/2017\/03\/overclock-7-100715975-orig.jpg\"><img border=\"0\" alt=\"overclock 7\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" data-imageid=\"100715975\" data-license=\"IDG\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.techhive.com\/images\/article\/2017\/03\/overclock-7-100715975-large.jpg\" class=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a> <small class=\"credit\">Terry Walsh\/IDG<\/small><\/figure>\n<p>Scroll down to <em>CPU Core\/Cache Voltage<\/em> and click the drop-down menu. You can see three alternative settings. <em>Manual Mode<\/em> sets a single, static voltage level. Whether your CPU is idle or running at full tilt, the same voltage will be applied. Thinking about power consumption, Manual Mode is quite inefficient, but gives you the most control.<\/p>\n<p><em>Offset Mode<\/em> works by adding (or subtracting, if you wished to underclock) a set amount of power to the standard voltage that the processor would use. The voltage would still vary based on requirements, but the range would be boosted by whatever step you configured. So, if you created an offset of 0.1 V, for example, and the processor typically requires 1.25 V to deliver a certain speed, 1.35 V would actually be supplied.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Adaptive<\/em>\u00a0<em>Mode<\/em>, your CPU would only receive a voltage boost when it enters turbo mode. It\u2019s worth noting that, on some motherboards, you <em>can<\/em> also include an Offset value for Adaptive Mode, that also provides a voltage boost to the processor outside of turbo mode.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"large \"><a class=\"zoom\" href=\"https:\/\/images.techhive.com\/images\/article\/2017\/03\/overclock-8-100715976-orig.jpg\"><img border=\"0\" alt=\"overclock 8\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" data-imageid=\"100715976\" data-license=\"IDG\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.techhive.com\/images\/article\/2017\/03\/overclock-8-100715976-large.jpg\" class=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a> <small class=\"credit\">Terry Walsh\/IDG<\/small><\/figure>\n<p>If you\u2019re taking your first steps in overclocking, allow your motherboard to handle voltage automatically\u2014at least until you\u2019ve built up some experience. If you experience instability, then experiment with Adaptive and Offset modes to support your CPU with a small voltage boost. Benchmarking PCs in manual voltage modes can place significant stress on the CPU, increasing their risk of failure.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to also pay attention to any contextual help provided in your UEFI BIOS, or motherboard manual. In the screenshot above, you can see guidelines at the bottom of the screen outlining minimum and maximum voltage settings, as well as the increment to use.<\/p>\n<p><em>Next page: Walkthrough and benchmarking<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-item-metadata entry-meta\">\n<p class=\"has-background has-very-light-gray-background-color\">Disclaimer: Content may be edited for style and length.\u00a0<a class=\"newsium-categories category-color-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/3186812\/how-to-overclock-your-pcs-cpu.html#tk.rss_all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Story Source<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0\u00a0 [responsivevoice_button rate=&#8221;1\u2033 pitch=&#8221;1.2\u2033 volume=&#8221;0.8\u2033 voice=&#8221;US English Female&#8221; buttontext=&#8221;Story in Audio&#8221;] How to overclock your PC&#8217;s CPU If you think that overclocking is solely for performance-obsessed geeks armed with bottles of liquid nitrogen, it\u2019s time to reconsider!
