6.2.2. Processor overclocking using the OC switch on the front
cover
If your computer has an OC switch on its front cover, you simply need to press
the switch in order to overclock the processor (the switch should click into
position).
Restart your computer for the change to take effect. If you have launched the
Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility, a corresponding notification will appear on the
screen.
To disable overclocking, press the switch again and restart your computer.
6.2.3. Making settings in the Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility
After activating processor overclocking, you can make a number of settings using
the Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility.
For example, you can regulate the overclocking using the settings under CPU
Ratio/Tuning All Contacts. After making a change, you will need to restart your
computer.
PLEASE NOTE!
A warning will appear if you make settings that are not
supported by your computer.
The Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility is also a monitoring tool that shows you
information about the motherboard, memory and processor. The data provided is
