I don't know, I'm really trying to get the best performance out of my shit computer while waiting for a new one. So I decided to try and overclock it. The original clock was 2.4 Ghz, (Celeron E3200) and i raised the FSB in the bios to 225 (stock was 200), and it said I'm running at 2.7 ghz. This is my first try and i haven't tested any higher because I'm running on stock cooling. and its already idling at like 45-50C (probably because of dust).. But CPU-Z and Speccy say I'm still running @ 2.4Ghz..Why? Windows Control Panel says I'm running at 2.7 ghz. In the BIOS the only thing it let me change was the FSB anyway, is this really that easy? I seem to be running stable...(SEEM). No BSODS yet or any unstability, just worrying about my temps. So did i do it right?

(see FSB is at 225)

Sorry if I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about lol..

Thanks in Advance!

.::EDIT::.
No increase/decrease in Black Ops (everything low, fps config lolbarely get 29-33 in open, 50-90 in CLOSED areas like hallways, small rooms, etc. In Nuketown my FPS averages 35-50 not bad but considering all i have done i want my fps at a constant 40+ ;/ never will happen. Fuck Treyarch and their shitty code. ON the bright side... I have noticed a nice increase in smoothness in BFBC2 in open areas its really smooth. Judging by previous, BFBC2 doesn't drop under 35-40, which is awesome, but i don't play that all too often. Maybe like a couple hours a week. Although i have been getting into CoD4 a lot more lately, so my dilemma with FPS might be over for a while (a while). Only thing i haven't tried with Blops is running it on XP. Which supposably gives it a massive performance increase since i guess Windows 7 gives it a huge CPU bottleneck. Most of the people who've ran XP on Black Ops says almost all their lag is gone. So i guess that's my problem, OS. But so far after playing a couple hours of games, I haven't got any BSOD or instability.

Run prime95 for like, 6 - 12 hours and if you get no errors you should be fine. Im not wearing my glasses but I dont remember you saying if you increased the voltage. That could cause stability issues.

No i didn't change anything but FSB, I tried 250 (3Ghz) and windows wouldn't boot Sad

. The voltage option wasn't even there. I'm at 2.8 Ghz right now and it's probably as high as its gonna go without getting unstable.

EDIT

I went up 245 on FSB and Win7 booted.. 2.95Ghz, yet it won't fucking boot on 250. Holy shit i notice the change! Start up went way quicker ! Steam and all the programs started up a lot faster than they usually do. I'm running at 2.95Ghz on stock cooling 45-50 C idle 60-70 @ load. I haven't checked for stability yet but so far so good. Sadly i haven't noticed anything in any games i play except BC2... and i don't play it that much ;/

Clean the dust out before you use it at those temps.

No dust cleaner. What do

So am i doing it right? I know you have to change voltage for higher clocks but this won't even go higher than 2.9 ghz so.. That's bs, there's literally no difference in any of the CoDs ._. but the battlefields is way more smoother lets see how bf3 goes ...cough cough 20 fps

remove each part and wipe with a dry cloth.

Turn off Anti-Aliasing as it is the most CPU/GPU intensive thing. but of course, to play video games you need a strong GPU--I do not think CPUs matter much, but I do stand to be corrected.
