SetFSB is a utility you can use to overclock your motherboard's front side bus speed, enhancing the speed and performance of your computer. There are some inherent risks in overclocking your computer, particularly the risk of overheating system hardware and rendering your computer inoperable, but many computers can be overclocked safely to give a performance boost. There is no way to save your settings in SetFSB, but you can create a shortcut to the program with your configuration and set it to run automatically when Windows starts.
Instructions
1. Download and extract the SetFSB ZIP file to the folder of your choice on your computer's hard drive.
2. Right-click the "setfsb.exe" file, then click "Create Shortcut."
3. Click the "Start" menu, then click "All Programs." Right-click the "Startup" folder, then click "Open."
4. Click and drag the SetFSB shortcut icon into the "Startup" folder.
5. Right-click the SetFSB icon, then click "Properties." Click to select the "Shortcut" tab.
6. Click to place your cursor at the end of the "Target" text field, to the right of the closing quotation marks. Press "Spacebar."
7. Type "-w" and then a number between "00" and "99" to indicate the number of seconds to make the SetFSB program wait before executing the program. For example, type "-w05" to make the program wait five seconds after Windows starts. Press "Spacebar."
8. Type "-s" and then a number between "000" and "999" to specify the front side bus speed in MHz (megahertz). For example, to set the front side bus speed to 155 MHz, type "-s155". Press "Spacebar."
9. Type "-i" and then a number between "00" and "99" to indicate the increments in MHZ to use when increasing the front side bus speed. Smaller increments can help your system regulate heat produced by overclocked hardware. For example, type "-i05" to increase the front side bus speed in 5 MHz increments. Press "Spacebar."
10. Click the "Apply" button, then click "OK" to confirm the shortcut settings.
11. Restart your computer.
