Overclocking from windows?

JonnyGeee · 30 May 2007 at 15:02

My mate is running Vista ultimate 64 and is running an e6600 on an asus mobo. Unfortunately he seems to be unable to overclock from the BIOS?? Any software/Utility's available to overclock from within windows?

my Asus P5K came with software that allows just that

which mobo has he got, maybe he's already got what he needs but doesn't realise it

Not recommended.

Did this once and ended up BSOD'ing and corrupting my boot ini :eek:

What motherboard do you have?

As said some mobo manufacturers provide you oc utility (eg. AI booster - ASUS or easytune - gigabyte).

If not you can always try clockgen, but they are not always uptodate in terms of mobo supports.

I tried using the Asus Utility once.

My PC screamed and locked up. :/

Ah, ok thanks.

he is currently running on an asus p5vd2--mx se, and for some reason can't change clock speed, anyone have experience with this one?
