Hi,
Can you suggest what is the right way to do overclocking for my laptop?
What software to use, how far should I take it.
What are the risks and how can I avoid them.
Thanks.
I think there are a few softwares that can do the job. Aren't they supposed to take care of everything and ensure the clocking is not harmful?
Do you know anything about these applications? If so can you suggest one?
Thanks!Thank you Sandrew.

Re:
I doubt very much that your laptop can be clocked as you need to change the speed, timing or multiplyer in the bios, which can do more harm than good as the memory timings can be wrong and the system unstable.
You will also find you are unable to find any changeable menus in the bios refering to the processor speed as they are normally locked out by factory.
The only menu you may find is lined similair to 'Optimal settings'.

No. Overclocking a laptop is out of the question and it will make the chip run crazy hot. It could be done if you cut away some of the case. But overclocking makes only a tiny difference in performance you will see way bigger gains from switching to and SSD drive.
There are many issues to consider when overclocking and the first is to be sure that you have extra cooling for your processor. On this motherboard I do not recommend overclocking but since ASUS says that it can be done I will try to give you some places to get information on your A7V880 system. If you do not have your user's manual, you can go to the link below and download one. http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_Socket_A/A7V880/#download . Leave the OVER_VOLT1 jumper on the motherboard on the default of pins 1 & 2. Refer then to section 2.4.5 on pages 2-21,22 of the User's Manual for Jumper Free configuration overclocking settings. In BIOS Setup I suggest a CPU Multiple of 10 or less. If you choose to use the AI Overclock Tuner instead, a setting of [Overclock 20%] or less would be best. The VCORE Voltage setting will depend on the specs for the CPU that you are using. If you don't know leave it at Auto. As I said before, overheating of the CPU is a problem in overclocking and you can monitor the temperature via the Hardware Monitor. Refer to section 2.5.6 on page 2-26 of the manual. Modern cpu overclocking normally does not exceed 20% safely unless you are willing to spend a lot of money on liquid cooling and frequent replacement of damaged processors. I would be interested in hearing whether you decide to overclock or continuing with your present settings.
Overclocking on computers is done via the BIOS, if the BIOS on the computer supports it. The T23 hasn't got this ability.
Late model desktop computers have this capability with Gigabyte motherboards as well as other makes, overclocking will generate greater heat problems and additional CPU cooling may be requires.
There is no overclocking settings for this motherboard, the CPU speeds and core settings are automatically determined. You may be able to find a modified bios somewhere, but i would strongly suggest this not be done. A bad bios, or bad flash can essentially turn the motherboard into an expensive paperweight.
are you sure that your pc is built for overclocking? dont be risky it might get you trouble on your pc. i suggest that you shouldnt overclocking it and besides your processor is high ed.
No lie, the best and cheapest you will find for gaming, and for overclocking is the AMD Athlon 64 X2 2.6Ghz "Black Edition" It is a dual core, AM2 socket, and has unlocked multipliers you can access through your bios, which is perfect for a newbie to mess around with overclocking. Go to www.tomshardware.com and search for it, they did a big article all about overclocking it which will explain why its so great. Best thing is its 90 bucks on www.newegg.com , just plan to buy a fan and some thermal grease, wont run you much more. Good luck and happy overclocking.
Hi,
If you have overclocked:
1. CPU or motherboard not up to it - run at default speed; or
2. Memory - try using other memory; or
3. Video Card - see if you can run the Video card at default speed and not with overclock speed; or
4. You may need to up the CPU B+ a bit.
If not overclocked:
a. Set BIOS/CMOS to default settings; or
b. Disable any overclocking feature (even if not used); or
c. Lower you CAS latency.
Hope this be of some help/idea. ood luck and kind regards.
