Overclocking Tools

I'm still a noob when it comes to overclocking and I have only tried 2 cheap processors: old Athlon X2 4600+ and my current e5200. Thanks to many handy tools found on the net and my computer definitely transformed into a much powerful being :D. Here they are ....

CPU-Z

A very powerful program used to display current processor speed, fsb, multipliers, voltage, ram timings and speed, and shows even mobo and graphics card models.

Real Temp

A temperature monitoring program that displays real time temperatures, even lowest and highest temperature points achieve by your processor. It also show cpu utilization and works very well with CPU stressing programs like OCCT, Prime95, IBT etc.

OCCT

A program design to check the stability of the overclocked system by putting it at 100% load stress test. CPU, GPU and even power supply can be put under test through OCCT. The duration of every test can be set from a few minutes to a number of hours while real time processor speed, voltage and temperature readings are displayed.

Prime95

Like OCCT, it is also a program for stability checking. It contains tests for both processor and RAM.
