Steps To Overclock Intel Core i5, i7 Processor. If you want to get the best result from your computer, you might want to overclock it. But no matter what you do, overclocking could burn the CPU, especially if you set highest clock from the base start. This thing could also happen to Intel i7. But as long as you are careful enough, you can follow these steps below to overclock your Intel i7 Processor. But still, do it on your own risk.

Here are the steps for a modest overclock Intel i7

1. Download the programs you need:
- Realtemp.exe
- cpu-z
- prime 95
- LinX (google em)

2. Enter BIOS setup and increase the base clock by 5 (always remember not to set it too high)
3. Boot the computer  and let the Windows load
4. Run CPU-z to verify your overclock, make a note and close it
5. Run Realtemp.exe
6. Run LinX max memory in about 3 runs to make it save.

Important note: if you are facing the blue screens, some errors or restarting machine, it indicates that you set the base clock too high. So make it down to keep the computer stable. Your last setting is your max overclock for i7 without adding vcore (cpu voltage). If you are pass those steps above and got no error, read the following. You need to make sure the max temperatures of your computer are below 85 C. If it so then you’re good to go. You can add the base clock more. Increase the base clock little higher and repeated the steps each time you increase it. Read the rest of this entry »

Overclock NVIDIA 8400M GS Graphic Card on Dell Inspiron 1720, 1750, 1764. It takes expertise to modify any kinds of fixture. You don’t have to be formally educated and certified as an expert, but you have to at least be recognized by the people around you as an expert related to the object of the modifications, and you must also have loads of confidence in yourself. Take cars, for example. Before you get under the hood and try to fix any parts of this machine, and probably turn your super boring old car into a new wonder, you have to be sure that you know what you’re doing. Otherwise, your car will end up stuck inside your garage for ages, or be sent to a mechanic for a costly repair.

The same thing is also applied for computers. Think carefully before you start modifying your system. Make sure that you have complete technical knowledge and pay attention to any single aspect related to your computer, before it’s too late.

If you own a Dell Inspiron 1720 with the NVIDIA 8400M GS Video Card (the 128 MB Version) and want to overclock it on its video card in order to solve the problem of slow performance of HD videos, either 1080p or 720p on Youtube, makes sure you know what its maximum overclock level is, and whether overclocking is necessary at all in this case.

This is the new version Nvidia GeForce 196.34, has the official beta status. Except for the fixed bug when overclocking however there are no changes since the last WHQL-certified version. Some overclocking enthusiasts have reported that they no longer want their graphics cards with programs such as RivaTuner, EVGA Precision Magic and Galaxy Panel HD can overclock. There were indications that there are problems with the management of core, shader and memory clock. At least one of the values the user can no longer define yourself as desired.
