Hardware :: Does Linux OS Need Overclocking CPU?
Jul 5, 2011
Many CPUs come with promotion that they can be overclocked and play games faster.The black edition of Phenom II X4/X6 can be overclocked up to 5GHz.Linux boasts of using minimum hardware requirements.So, does it mean overclocking is needless for linux?Many people said overclocking can harm your CPU, but those who did it said that as long as you can make sure its temperature is not overheating, it is worthy to do it to enhance your PC's performance.

Can anyone tell me why my CPU overclocks itself after being on so long, and give me a solution to fixing it? I don't like my CPU to overheat, which happens when it overclocks.

Im trying to overclock my system and I cannot find a conclusive answer to this issue.It appears that I need to compile a custom kernel, is there a way around this?So where do I go from here without compiling a custom kernel and removing powernow-k8 from it?Is there a workaround to this? There is no setting in my bios either. ECS NFROCE3-A system board.

Does anyone know of a way to over-clock the main CPU of a PC, through software means, on Ubuntu/Debian?And if so, how would I do it? This is for an old PC by the way (Pentium 3).There were several apps (like CPUCooL) I could use through Windows, but I can't seem to find any through Google for Linux.

I'd like to overclock (well actually downclock) ATI X300 video card in Debian. Is it possible to do it with standard drivers, or fglrx must be used?

I'm getting close to ordering the components for a new machine based on the AMD Deneb quad core and had one last question.I'd like to try a little careful overclocking, not only for the performance increase but also to learn how. Nothing extreme, no gaming, just whatever I can get with good stability with the stock heatsink and fan.I was going to get 8GB on 2x4GB strips but they are all CAS latency 9. The MB has 4 slots for a total of 16GB capacity. Would I be better off going with 4x2GB strips and try to get a lower latency strip like maybe 7?

I have a problem with CPU frequency at overclocking.Normally the processor is clocked at 2.7 GHz (13.5x200), Debian detects it correctly. When I overclock it (in the BIOS of course) to 3.3 (11x300), BIOS at booting shows everything correctly.

Using coolbits allows for me to try to change it but it refuses to accept it, and even when i run it as root it still just acts like nothing has changed. It's not my laptop maker since i can overclock my gpu using rivatuner on windows so it's clearly not them trying to restrict me. I was attempting to restore teh clocks back to what the factory settings were from nvidia and not the underclocked settings that the oem put on it for the 3d settings and then reducing the 2d by ~10% to help it run cooler except when gaming.Has anyone been able to successfully use coolbits in squeeze? Or is there another nvidia overclockign tool out there besides nvclock since my gpu is apparently too new to work with it and i'm not going to risk it.

I have learnt that the network locked huawei modems may be unlocked to use any sim card bu getting a special unlock code and it should ask for it when a "foreign" SIM card is inserted. This procedure works well in Windows, but in Linux where I use wvdial, I dont get prompted for this unlock code. Does anyone know how to insert the unlock code in Linux using any Linux tool (GAMMU/GNOKII/Minicom etc)?

Why i cant change from 800x480 to 1024x600, that this model of EEE pc doesnt support anything higher than 800x480 at the 10:1 ratio...
Firstly my question is, is it ACTUALLY possible to 'overclock' this type of netbook to run a higher res?
Im running ubtuntu netbook remix 10.04 and am new to linux (again, so sorry) so be nice, and ive tried getting my head around this 'sudo' stuff, and the xorg.conf file (which is nowhere to be found) and ive even tried a program calld astray but im pretty sure ive exhausted my patience as trying to self-teach . . .
And ive also tried to much around with xrandr or whatever that command was.. but i cant really get my head around it, and it kept telling me the resolution didnt exist ect...

I am working on a friend's computer for which he "lost" the operating system. This friend has very little extra money right now, so my classmate suggested I try loading Linux on my friend's PC.I am wondering if it will work. The PC is a Compaq Presario SR5610F with an AMD processor. I have been told that Linux doesn't care much for AMD.Does anybody know if it will be possible to use Linux as an OS on this PC?I'm looking for a cheap(er) alternative than Windows. Friend is balking at Windows 7. The machine had Vista loaded in it when purchased, then the son loaded XP on it, without removing Vista. They have been having issues with crashing for some time now. The recovery disks are supposed to have XP on them, but I don't think that is so, and when I tried running those disks, the computer balked. I finally worked around and got XP to install, using a disk from an old computer, but the code would not work, and nobody could remember the computer's password and user name.I want to start fresh with this machine, and install a basic, working OS. Am leary about XP on eBay or some such, but they really don't have the funds to purchase anything over $100.00.

i recently upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10.
After I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 I can choose between the following OS's when turning on my computer (see picture):
What is the difference between linux 2.6.35-22 and 2.6.32-25? The 2.6.35-22 option froze once on login, I have never experienced any trouble with the 2.6.32-25 option.
So what is the difference between the two? Do i need both? If not, which one should I remove and how?

I have a netbook, L500X Geode (498MHz) 480Mb Ram and 40Gb Hdd partitioned into two 20 Gb bits, and I want to install linux on it as a dual boot along side the winxp that is already in place. I tried the Netbook remix of the latest Ubuntu and Fedora 12 with no success at all. I'm beginning to wonder if this tiny old machine can run linux at all.

I am going to buy new computer, will assemble it myself. I have searched extensively this forum and finally at least decided on PSU, Corsair VX450 which is available in India also. I want to do these 3 things on my new computer:
Browse internet.
Do Programming (C, Lisp, Emacs) on Arch/Debian Linux.
Play 1080p/720p HD/Blu-Ray videos with 6000kbps bitrate.
No games and no Windows
I already have Samsung SyncMaster 2243LNX monitor and a SONY DVD-ROM. Now I need to decide on other components like CPU, MOBO, Case, HDD. Searching forums make me convince on WD HDD and Gigabyte MOBO. Regarding CPU I am still confused on AMD vs Intel. I have understood that I don't need 4-Cores, 2 core will suffice my needs.
