Best Utilities for Overclocking

[SoftWore]

Here is the list of best tools / utilities for overclocking and gaming

CPU-Z :
CPU-Z is one of the most important programs a overclockers. It reads all the important data from the CPU: Vcore, Mega Hertz, cache, front side and then the stepping. From this data, other users can recognize the achievements of the overclocking and the quality of the processor. The program would therefore provide accurate values on the memory and the name of the mainboard. Overclockers can use CPU-Z entered the BIOS settings at a glance.

GPU-Z :
GPU-Z is almost the same structure as CPU-Z. The biggest difference is that GPU-Z is responsible for the reading of graphics cards. Using this program, for example, lean trimmed cards exposed and changes to the clock frequencies are found. In addition to the built-up graphics chip reads GPU-Z from the revision and the production process. Reliable data the users get even when it comes to the clock speed of the graphics chip, memory. These three values are largely decisive for the overclocking.

Core Temp :
Core Temp says it all in the name of the purpose of this program largely met: the temperature of the individual cores of the processor check. Core Temp also reads out the voltage of the CPU and the correct name, and their frequency. Note: CoreTemp is well suited for monitoring of processor temperature and is deemed reliable, but some processors are equipped with faulty sensors and read from the wrong values.

Speedfan :
Speedfan is a small program that is mainly used to get the computer quieter and to use the fan to the short leash. Very convenient: users can create their own profile, which is customized to your own computer. Basically Speedfan replaced a manual fan control through a software solution. The functionality of Speedfan is highly dependent on the type of motherboard and how many ports, this adjustable fan.

RivaTuner :
Its name comes from the RivaTuner the ten-year-old Riva graphics chips made by Nvidia, the important foundation for today's awareness of the company submitted a. He is, as it were the direct opposite of ATITool and is also its competition from Ati to cope with. When the functionality may RivaTuner ATITool thoroughly water the rich. So it waits for example, overclocking, fan control and screen configuration with, the more daring or Experienced can use it to heart's content on the Windows Registry even play around.

ATITool :
Only for ATI graphics cards originally thought that comes ATITool now Nvidia users against it. Besides basic overclocking it also offers the possibility of clock frequencies to automatically determine the maximum, without tedious trial and error. Besides informed a small 3D animation of possible aberrations. But the functionality is not limited solely to the performance, but also allows even the temperature monitoring and fan control.

NiBiTor :
Who accesses NiBiTor should know exactly what he does. For bless if mishandled in addition to the graphics card and any warranty service the temporal. Because it is so to speak, in the deepest interior to the graphics card, the "firmware" or the "BIOS". Advantage: For the overclocking is no need for more software, the settings will remain even when changing to another computer. In terms of ease of use there, despite the high risk just downright dangerous. Therefore, previously always a backup copy of the original BIOS to be created in order to later restore the original condition of the card.

NiBiTor is suitable for Nvidia models, but additional tools needed to download the old and save the new BIOS. In contrast to most other tools it offers the possibility to adjust of the frequency of graphics processor and those of memory and shaders. However, the firmware can be just be used for tuning measures, such as lowering the clock speeds in 2D mode for reduced power consumption and less heat.


Prime95 :
Prime95 is a Stresss and error analysis program for processors. Frequently used the program for the overclocking, to ensure the stability of the computer. Appear after a period of about an hour no mistake, this is called "prime table". During the test should not be used with the computer. By the maximum utilization of the processor can also be drawn a conclusion on the quality of the CPU cooler.
