Overclocking Vista

[shaanm]

Hi
My motherboard is the gigabyte 965p-DQ6. I am running windows vista rtm. I tried overclocking it through the bios, I put it up to full speed. Vista would not even boot. Then I tried overclocking it just a little bit through the bios. Then vista started freezing on me. My motherboard's overclocking app (easy tune 5) does not work not work with vista. I have tried clockgen, does not work either. And windows vista does not have an overclocking function built in. Is there any other way to overclock my cpu?

I wouldn't go there yet, but it's your hard disk . Vista drivers are not yet mature and stable.

I have Vista on a second drive. My CPU is an A64 3500+ @ 2.5GHz. The overclock is done in bios and both XP and Vista boot perfectly. There is currently no way that I know of to overclock video in Vista except to mod the video bios.

hmm, seems like a noob. Maybe you should do a little actual research before trying that. You don't wanna blow anything up. LOL

I have no problem with my overclocked a64 3400+ running Vista RC1. (I used the bios).

OCing your CPU should have no real affect as long as you have stressed it for 24 with no errors, even 1 error could throw a spanner in the works
