Question:

Overclocking a Pentium D?

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

I got an 8800GT and a new power supply lately. However, i worry about my CPU bottlenecking the performance in games. I have a Pentium D 820 2.8Ghz. However i do not have enough money for a Core 2 Dual or anything better at the moment. So i am thinking about overclocking the CPU just for now until i have enough money for a C2D. I am very new to overclocking CPUs and want your comments on this.

Would you recommend overclocking my CPU?

Will my motherboard allow overclocking?

Will i see a significant boost in FPS if i overclock? (5-10fps)

How to overclock CPU if my computer allows?

Thanks in advance
