Hello
I am new to overclocking, but not new to using/building my own pc's for a long time now. Just never had enough motivation to OC I guess. But now I would like to try it out with your help
I am becoming very interested in how to overclock my system to squeeze some more performance out of it. I run XP Home SP2, and Vista Ultimate on this machine.
I was hoping someone out here can get me started down the right path.
Main System Specs are:
> Asus P5B-E
> 2 GB Kingston value RAM PC2 6400 - running in dual channel mode
> ATI Brand XTX1950X 512MB RAM
> Pentium 4 Presler D945 (3.4 Ghz x 2) Dual Core CPU
> Raptor 10,000 RPM Primary Drive -150 GB model
> Antec 900 Gaming Case
> ZALMAN CNPS9500 AT 2 Ball CPU Cooling Fan/Heatsink
> SILVERSTONE SST-ST50EF ATX 12V 2.2 500W Power Supply
Basically I was hoping I could start off by using the AI Suite from ASUS to help me do some over clocking. Instread of doing it via the BIOS.
Can anyone spare a little time to help me learn how to do this with my P5B-E? If I could get a 10% to 25% speed increase that would be awesome.
I did some forum searching here, but didnt find a guide for the P5B-E.
BTW, I think get a 5.0 Windows Experience rating, and ratings are 5.0, 5.6, 5.9, 5,8, 5.5
The 5.0 is because of the CPU.
I also noticed the Catalyst software has a tweaker program to speed up the video processing speed. So I started fooling around with that a little bit.
Alos, I am not against buying the faster CPU for this, but I would rather see what kind of performance I can get out of current CPU, and make sure its still rock solid realiability. I am not looking for fastest settings, but just faster + realiable.
Thank you for any help...
