Software that can help me in overclocking my Machine’s CPU/GPU/memory

Asked By annie brown 20 points N/A Posted on - 08/24/2012

Can anybody suggest software that can help me in overclocking my machine's CPU/GPU/memory etc.? Preferably, it's one that I could use while on the OS environment, but I'm not sure if it can only be through BIOS mode?

I am also concerned with dust issues, and have been worried when one time while playing a game, my CPU's temperature went up to over 60°C. Other specs of my machine include an AMD processor (stock cooler) with MD/ATI graphics and GIGABYTE mobo.

My RAM is Kingston (value series, DDR2-800 CL6). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Dear Annie,

My first and foremost recommendation to you would be to turn to none other than AMD OverDrive. It has been a phenomenal application with a detailed but intuitive Graphical User Interface. (No need to go into BIOS)
Follow this link, the page is self-explanatory:
http://www.amd.com/en/gaming

If you do not really want to run an AMD developed overclocker and trust 3rd Party apps more then there is no rival to CPU-Z
It is by far the best Overclocking application. It also has its twin-brother GPU-Z, which does essentially the same things but for your GPU.

You can find CPU-Z here:

GPU-Z is available for download here:
