How do I overclock my CPU?


And will this melt my CPU?

Thanks.

Not exactly a simple question -

Not exactly a question for an audio & recording-related forum either (but I digress).

How do I overclock my CPU?

Step 1: change the jumpers on the logic board to either change the bus speed or the multiplier.
Step 2: go to step 1, repeating until it starts crashing.
Step 3: back the clock speed down a fair bit from the precipice.
Step 4: if this doesn't give you the boost you need, add a high-end cooling system and faster RAM.
Step 5: cringe when you realize you've spent more than it would have cost to simply buy a new machine that's faster.

And will this melt my CPU?

Probably.

I wouldn't recommend overclocking an audio rig unless its absolutely necessary... and even then I personally still wouldn't.
