OK SO YOU HAVE PUSHED YOUR CPU TO THE LIMITS AND YOUR VIDEO CARD IS MAXED OUT, NOW YOU WANT TO GO FURTHER THAN EVER BEFORE RIGHT, WELL LETS CHANGE THE PARAMETERS IN YOUR BIOS FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE. TO START WITH YOU NEED TO GET INTO YOUR BIOS SCREEN, TO DO THIS YOU NEED TO TURN ON YOUR COMPUTER AND WAIT FOR THE LINE "PRESS DELETE TO ENTER SETUP" OR SIMILAR WORDING WHEN YOUR COMPUTER STARTS TO BOOT.

WHEN YOU ARE IN THE BIOS IT WILL HAVE MANY MENUS LIKE CPU SOFT MENU, INTERGRATED PERIPHERALS ETC ETC, YOU NEED TO ENTER THESE TO MAKE CHANGES. I WILL LIST A GROUP OF THINGS THAT YOU CAN CHANGE, BUT IT IS UP TO YOU TO FIND THEM IN YOUR MENU SCREEN AS THERE ARE TO MANY VARIATIONS BETWEEN MANUFACTURERS.

Multiplier Factor - set to what you require out of your cpu

REMEMBER THAT SOME SYSTEMS VARY AND NOT ALL THESE SETTINGS WILL WORK WITH ALL CONFIGURATIONS SO A LITTLE PATIENCE AND EXPERIMENTING ON YOUR PART IS REQUIRED. IF SOMETHING DOESNT WORK THAN CHANGE IT BACK. IF YOUR COMPUTER WONT BOOT AT ALL THEN CLEAR THE CMOS WITH THE CMOS JUMPER LOCATED ON YOUR MOTHERBOARD OR BY REMOVING THE CMOS BATERY LOCATED ON YOUR MOTHERBOARD FOR A FEW SECONDS AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET BACK INTO YOUR BIOS.
