Abstract

Overclocking is not a new method for most PC users with the most cost effective perspective for all processors. Two main overclocking methods: Front-Size Bus (FSB) and multiplier changing are used as the popular trends. When the processor need to increase the performance improvement for heavy workloads, overclocking method increases the clock speed cycles by changing multiplier values. In fact, overclocking is the best method to implement with trial and error process which is not warranted by the manufacturers but it is capable. The detail description of types of intensive workloads and multiplier changing overclocking results are shown. The testbed of the paper is based on the specification of Intel Core i7 3770 CPU@3.40 GHz with the core speed 1596.19 MHz as well as bus speed 99.76. The most commonly tools such as CPU-Z, RealTemp, CoreTemp, FFT-z, OCCT tool and Benchmark programs testings are used to validate the system evaluation.
