What Is Overclocking?

Every CPU comes from the factory set to run at a certain maximum speed. If the CPU run at that speed with proper cooling, it should perform without giving any troubles.

If any user increase the CPU’s speed by setting a higher clock rate or multiplier in the computer’s BIOS, it will force the processor to perform with more speed compared to its default speed. This process is called overclocking.

overclocking of the AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ processor

we need the following setup to overclock AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ processor

  • a AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ processor,
  • cpu cooler with thermal paste,
  • a compatible motherboard,
  • a compatible Video card (GeForce 8500GT),
  • 2 X 1GB of RAM,
  • a hard disk
  • a 400w power supply.

We can see Athlon 64 X2 5000+ has 512KB L2 cache per core, the base processor core voltage is 1.320V and the default frequency is 2600MHz.

After overclocking of AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ processor

We can see the cpu core voltage is raised, we raise the voltage from 1.320 volts to 1.480 volts. we  achieved 3120 MHz cpu frequency. But this is not stable. So we decreased the voltage to 1.464 volts. After decreasing the volts, we get a stable frequency of 3120 MHz.

But remember not all AMD Athlon 64 X2 processors are capable of achieving 3200 MHz.
