How do i over clock the hard disk

[phil_monk]

How do i increase the clock speed of My CPU i have a ECS board and a AMD 1600+ with a 2ghz fan?

OK dude: people here will explain this one for you but first some warnings.

This is dangerous and can ruin your computer. IT is not suggested unless your very good with computers and are very patiant.

BTW: what do you mean over clock hard disk. You dont over clock hard disks....

...that 2GHz fan is probably creating a tornado in your house, too.

What model ECS board?
How much and what brand RAM?
What kind of "2GHz fan"? (i think you mean it's for upto 2GHz . . . i hope anyway) If it's just an OEM, then you probably won't do much OC'ing.

You'll be able to increase the FSB (front side bus). You can do this by raising it in the BIOS usually.

Give us some more info, dude.

Here is an introductory article to OC'ing that wont get you in too much trouble- http://www.overclockers.com/tips120/index06.asp .
If you scroll down through the threads in this forumTopic, you will find a good bit of information already. If ya dont understand things, ask about them before you just jump in!

Do Note BC's advice.

GoodLuck

Soz i didn't mean Hard disk i ment processor i have had a long day :-( anyway i have a ECS K7S5A SKT A (SIS 735) ATX DDR/SDR With Audio
and 256MB of SD PC133
and yea i mean a fan upto 2 GHZ

I didn't think those boards were good at OC'ing with.

The easiest way is to up the FSB, or unlock your cpu and up the multiplier.

Hi phil_monk,

As said above by tbc, overclocking is a dangerous thing and can void your warranty on your computer.

You cant OC your hard drive. You can OC your processor in certain cases. Intel frowns on this because they usually have to make good on any claims on their processors unless they can prove that it was OC'd.

I would imagine Intel could care less wether he OC's his AMD processor.

OK i have upd the FSB speed and it has helped quite abit thanks for your help guys but maybe you can help me with another problem..... i have a AMD 1600+ but at the bios start up screen (you know the thing that come up when you turn on the computer) it says my proccessor is a AMD Athlon 1050 and the 1600 should be 1.4 i have the correct bus setting.......... the proccessor isn't reconised in win XP either??? any idears
