Overclocking-Have I done it in right way??

[Harshilvijay]

My PC have an 3ghz Intel dual core e5700 processor
2 gb ddr3 RAM
Simmtronnics g41 mobo
250W psu
I dont know anything about OCing,I went to BIOS and just increased the multiplier from 200 to 210 and saved it
Then I clicked on properties and it showed dual core e5700 3ghz 3.30 ghz
Have I overclocked it
And I checked the temperature of Component through HWMonitor and everything looked pretty well and the temperature was the same before OCing
So have I Oced it??

Yes, but you should run some stress tests to see if its stable/temps are acceptable... I think you will be fine with that small of an OC though.

Which app should I download to run a stress test btw

 

[Derza10]

I use Prime95.

Anthing That I have to do after increasing the multiplier from 200 to 210???and what does the 1.5v etc thing means?

 

[Derza10]

You can increase the voltage to achieve higher stable overclock speeds but by doing so your temps will rise - you also don't want to increase the volts by a lot (I wouldn't raise it more than ~.075v) - this can cause CPU degradation. You want the volts to be as low as possible while still maintaining stability.

ok thanks
