Overclocking is a technique that is mostly used by a lot of computer users, ranging from novice to experts. In these days, a lot of us are geared towards buying budget Netbooks rather than the more expensive laptops. Without a doubt, these lowly-priced laptops (mainly powered by Intel Atom processors), do fetch some popularities. This has led to the developer at ScaleGamer to write a program for overclocking EeePC - known as EeeCTL Overclocking Utility.
The use of EeeCTL Overclocking Utility has reported to prove its effectiveness in the EeePC netbook. Before I embark into introducing the tool, below are some of the scoring consolidated by Cas from ScaleGamer.com.
The 3DMark 2000 SE has shown a 1.5 times improvement in the score when the processor is overclocked by EeeCTL Overclocking Utility.
Also, it took the system faster to calculate the mathematical algorithms.
The Quake 3 demonstration has also shwon a faster Framerate per second.
TradeOff
Having said all about the good things of overclocking EeePC, there is also a drawback. The trade-off here is that the battery life will be sacrificed. Nonetheless, it is definitely worth it if you are on power adaptor.
Features
Here are some of the features that you can do with the utility:
- Fan Speed Control
- PCIE Speed Control
- FSB Speed Control
- Back Light Control
- Temperature Monitor Display
- Adjust CPU Clock Speed
- Adjust CPU Voltage
So, are you very much tempted to power up your ASUS EeePC now? Get the EeeCTL Utility Tool from the link below.

"The trade-off here is that the battery life will be sacrificed."
How much will the battery be sacrificed?
What can happen if I overclock, say, over 95?
Thanks.
