How do i overclock my intel core 2 due e7500? 2.93ghz? nobody helps :(

[Mody birdy]

so first i read this
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/259899-29-core-over...
and i had no idea what half the stuff they were talking about. Could someone simplify it for me? how much should i OC it to? How much voltage?

gpu- gtx750ti
mobo- foxconn 2A8C
PSU- 600W
ram- 4G
yea i know, my cpu is old, but im waiting for something to come out in 4 months so i could upgrade, i need to OC for now. thanks

i found this video, is it reliable?

what cpu cooler?
if its stock, do not overclock

all my threads got deleted yesterday, idk a bug?

als othere is no e7500 on that guide

I just pulled your motherboards manual, it looks like its an OEM Stock board with no BIOS level voltage controll and no BIOS level FSB controll.

Aside from the fact that you likely have a stock cooler, which even when you have a good motherboard would limmit your OC potential to less than 10% due to heat, the simple fact is your board does not have support for overclocking.

That said, the Foxconn site lists some limited support for using Foconn ONE, which is their windows-bassed software overclocking tool. Not generaly the way to OC, but it sounds like the only option you have.

If you feel you must try, watch your temps with HWMonitor, go download Foxconn ONE from the support page for your board and give it a shot. If the program works, then up the FSB by 5mhz increments with stability tests (I suggest OCCT 10 minutes) untill you hit stability issues, then up the core voltage by 0.0125 untill stable. Rinse/Wash/Repeat this untill you either hit the thermal margin (CPU gets hot under load) or you can not longer atain stability through voltage. On a stock cooler I would expect you to hit thermals before you got to 3ghz.

thank you for the solid answer! also one question, how do i check stability? and how much do you think i could OC my cpu to?

Like I sad in the post, use OCCT to test stbility, I use 10 minute tests at each step, with 15 minutes on the fnal phase before I go for a long term daily stbility test. Though to be fair, I use a small panel of programs that each test different things. For starters though OCCT is pretty good, has hardwre monotoring etc.

As for how much you will get, that depends mainly on cooling and on the motherboard. Since you MB doesnt support overclocking natively yoou might not gett any at all. Assuming you can get changes made with ONE then you have a small window of potential. You will either hit your thermal margin (get too hot) or you will have stability issues becuase of pushing the chipset too high.

I would say, assuming cooling works, assuming ONE allows clock changes, and assuming all other things hold out, that you will be able to hit the 3.0-3.3ghz range, but you may not even get that. Its just a trial and error thing.

Just watch your temps, you can get the max temp rating from intel if you goodle your CPU, it will be on the ark.intel.com site.
