The art of overclocking has been around a long time, but it’s constantly evolving. Whereas only a few years ago you needed to replace jumpers on the motherboard to get access to a few pre-defined front side bus (FSB) frequencies, today’s motherboards can generate hundreds of frequencies from the BIOS setup program without changing the speeds of other components. And now you don’t even need to do it through the BIOS setup—software exists that lets you overclock from within the operating system itself. Lots Of Software In this article, we’ll tell you about a number of different applications that let you overclock your processor, as well as your graphics card. Some of them can even change memory frequency and timings.
Obviously, you use software like this at your own risk, but if you stay within reasonable limits, there’s not that much danger of damaging your hardware—and the benefit in extra performance is quite often substantial. Oulw6669Much easier to get a higher stable overclock through the BIOS. Strangely for me, the opposite was true. Windows would BSOD at 3.6GHz or higher on my E6600 even at 1.75V, yet it would be quite stable with much less voltage (although still alot more than most people would dare to try) if I OCed in Windows. I have no explanation for it. Perhaps somebody can explain this BSOD: 'The Cryptographic Subsystem has failed a mandatory algorithm self-test in bootstrap.'
(Error code 0x000000123) Forget googling the error code, you'll only find me asking what that means and something else in Chinese. Randomizer, I don't know if this will help, but I found a couple things regarding the Cryptographic Subsystem: One article from IBM discusses it as part of their CPUs. (Crypto Subsystem) on their chips runs at a certain clock speed. I'm including the google cache for word reference as well as the original article: Another thing I found was the detail of the C.S. In the patent which is 'a secure subsystem to prevent unauthorized replacement of a storage device containing a boot-up executable code by establishing a secure path between a secure boot device and a host processor based on an electronic keying mechanism' Maybe somehow the C.S. Was affected by the O.C.
To the boot device? Only a theory, but I hope the information helps.
'We’ll end with a recommendation: it’s sometimes better to overclock via the BIOS setup program. This is true both because of effectiveness (some programs don’t display the frequencies well, for example) and because of operating system choice (the majority of the programs we’ve mentioned are only for Windows).' There are advantages to overclocking from windows too actually. Other than being lazy that is.
When you're booting your system at an overclocked state, chances are your vrm's can't keep up at powerup for some reason I don't know. So your oc will fail. That I assume is the reason that gigabyte boards shutdown and restart when changing such settings - to avoid the problem.
If you oc from windows, the changes being made are significantly less than from 0 to preset. Regarding the programs - I have some comments on them. They might be brilliant in some situations, but they don't nessecarily work.
For instance on my work pc, a hp dc7800 with an e6750, setfsb can only read the fsb, it can't set it - no matter which of the 3 types I tried (mmt, slp and the other one). I suspect hp deliberately did something to prevent it from working. So on oem systems you may not find the solution you were looking for in software. And atitool didn't work very well with my 8800gtx. It could set the gpu and mem speed, but the artefact check isn't able to figure out if the shader speed is too high.
So even though it'd run 20 minutes scanning for artefacts in atitool, a 3dmark test would crash at the nature scene when the lights were rendered. So don't rely on the button to automaticly find the best frequency if the shader is linked to the gpu speed. On all ati hd48x0 cards I've seen so far, the max gpu setting available in overdrive (790 or so) seemed stable - no need to run the check. When I purchased my first Motherboard back in 2006 (for the previous 6 years, I had been using a custom-built Alienware, and before that, a Compaq laptop, and before that, a Pentium 166 my dad put together, and before that, and Mac II Se), I didn't understand the point of software overclocking, especially since I had to redo the overclocking every time my machine started up. To me overclocking was changing the FSB jumper from 1x to 1.5x or, if I dared, 2x. Besides things like cool'n'quiet and whatever Intels version is (Speedstep?), why would chipset manufacturers even open-up software interfaces for overclocking, when for so many years they were completely against it?
Now days anyone can click the '+' in Gigabytes Overdrive and gain a few extra percent. Must make it hard to sell processors in granularities of a couple hundred MHz when you can overcome that through software without any changes to voltage or mupltipliers. Anyway, good article. Its nice to see the 3rd-party software that can be used, especially if you have no options from the hardware vendor.

(Error code 0x000000123)Forget googling the error code, you'll only find me asking what that means and something else in Chinese. I use RMClock or Crystalcpuid to overclock within Windows, automatically, my AMD dual and single core CPUs, and I have founded GREAT those tools. The same for ATItool, great program to under/overclock my video boards automatically on 2D or 3D loads.
Never a complaint or instability or so, once you have tuned the right parameter those tools rocks! Especially if you well tune some parameter in motherboard Bios (memory and buses clock, multipliers) with RMClock or Crystalcpuid you may obtain a very powerful machine, when power is needed, and a very quiet and power bill saver machine on low workloads, automatically.
Contents. Overview The FSB is mainly responsible for internal security of the Russian state, and the fight against, and. Since 2003, when the Federal Border Guards Service was incorporated to the FSB, it has also been responsible for overseeing border security. The FSB is engaged mostly in domestic affairs, while espionage duties are responsibility of the Russian. However, the FSB also includes the agency, which conducts electronic surveillance abroad. All law enforcement and intelligence agencies in Russia work under the guidance of FSB, if needed.
The FSB combines functions and powers similar to those exercised by the United States, (ICE), the, the (NSA), and partly the. The FSB employs about 66,200 uniformed staff, including about 4,000 special forces troops. It also employs about 160,000–200,000 border guards. Under Article 32 of the Federal Constitutional Law On the Government of the Russian Federation, the FSB head answers directly to the and the FSB director is the RF president's appointment, though he is a member of the RF government which is headed by the of Government; he also, ex officio, is a permanent member of the presided over by the president and chairman of the of Russia. History Initial recognition of the KGB. The FSB headquarters at The Federal Security Service is one of the successor organisations of the (KGB). Following the —in which some KGB units as well as the KGB head played a major part—the KGB was dismantled and ceased to exist from November 1991.
In December 1991, two government agencies answerable to the president were created by president Yeltsin's decrees on the basis of the relevant main directorates of the defunct KGB: (SVR, the former ) and the (FAPSI, merging the functions of the former 8th Main Directorate and 16th Main Directorate of the KGB). In January 1992, another new institution, the Ministry of Security took over domestic and border security responsibilities. Following, the Ministry of Security was reorganized on 21 December 1993 into the (FSK). The FSK was headed.
Before the start of the main military activities of the the FSK was responsible for the covert operations against the separatists led. Creation of the FSB In 1995, the FSK was renamed and reorganized into the Federal Security Service (FSB) by the Federal Law of 3 April 1995, 'On the Organs of the Federal Security Service in the Russian Federation'. The FSB reforms were rounded out by No. 633, signed by on 23 June 1995.
The made the tasks of the FSB more specific, giving the FSB substantial rights to conduct cryptographic work, and described the powers of the FSB director. The number of deputy directors was increased to 8: 2 first deputies, 5 deputies responsible for departments and directorates and 1 deputy director heading the and directorate. Yeltsin appointed Colonel-General as the new director of the FSB. In 1998 Yeltsin appointed, a KGB veteran who would later succeed Yeltsin as federal president, as director of the FSB. Putin was reluctant to take over the directorship, but once appointed conducted a thorough reorganization, which included the dismissal of most of the FSB's top personnel. Putin appointed as the head of FSB in 1999. Role in the Second Chechen War After the main military offensive of the ended and the separatists changed tactics to guerilla warfare, overall command of the federal forces in Chechnya was transferred from the military to the FSB in January 2001.
While the army lacked technical means of tracking the guerrilla groups, the FSB suffered from insufficient human intelligence due to its inability to build networks of agents and informants. In the autumn of 2002, the separatists launched a massive campaign of against the Russian civilians, including the. The inability of the federal forces to conduct efficient counter-terrorist operations led to the government to transfer the responsibility of 'maintaining order' in Chechnya from the FSB to the (MVD) in July 2003. Putin reforms. President Putin meeting with Director of FSB on 9 August 2000 After becoming President, launched a major reorganization of the FSB. First, the FSB maybe was placed under direct control of the President by a decree issued on 17 May 2000. Internal structure of the agency was reformed by a decree signed on 17 June 2000.
In the resulting structure, the FSB was to have a director, a first deputy director and nine other deputy directors, including one possible state secretary and the chiefs of six departments: Economic Security Department, Counterintelligence Department, Organizational and Personnel Service, Department of activity provision, Department for Analysis, Forecasting and Strategic Planning, Department for Protection of the Constitutional System and the Fight against Terrorism. In 2003, the agency's responsibilities were considered considerably widened. The, with its staff of 210,000, was integrated to the FSB via a decree was signed on 11 March 2003. The merger was completed by 1 July 2003.
In addition, The Federal Agency of Government Communication and Information (FAPSI) was abolished and the FSB was granted a major part of its functions, while other parts went to the. Among the reasons for this strengthening of the FSB were enhanced need for security after increased terror attacks against Russian civilians starting from the; the need to end the permanent infighting between the FSB, FAPSI and the Border Guards due to their overlapping functions and the need for more efficient response to migration, drug trafficking and illegal arms trading.
It has also been pointed out, that the FSB was the only power base of the new president, and the restructuring therefore strengthened Putin's position (see ). On 28 June 2004 in a speech to high-ranking FSB officers, Putin emphasized three major tasks of the agency: neutralizing foreign espionage, safeguarding economic and financial security of the country and combating organized crime. In September 2006, the FSB was shaken by a major reshuffle, which, combined with some earlier reassignments (most remarkably, those of FSB Deputy Directors and Vladimir Anisimov in 2004 and 2005, respectively), were widely believed to be linked to the that had slowly unfolded since 2000. Some analysts considered it to be an attempt to undermine FSB Director 's influence, as it was Patrushev's team from the KGB Directorate of the late 1980s – early 1990s that had suffered most and he had been on vacations during the event. By 2008, the agency had one Director, two First Deputy Directors and 5 Deputy Directors.
It had the following 9 divisions:. Counter-Espionage. Service for Defense of Constitutional Order and Fight against Terrorism. Border Service. Economic Security Service.
Current Information and International Links. Organizational and Personnel Service. Monitoring Department. Scientific and Technical Service. Organizational Security Service According to FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov, the FSB is developing its own systems in order to gather intelligence. Fight against terrorism. FSB special forces members during a special operation in, as a result of which 'one fighter was killed and two terrorist attacks prevented' in 2010.
Starting from the in 2002, Russia was faced with increased levels of Islamist. The FSB, being the main agency responsible for counter-terrorist operations, was in the front line in the fight against terror.
During the Moscow theater siege and the, FSB's units and played a key role in the hostage release operations. However, their performance was criticised due to the high number of hostage casualties. In 2006, the FSB scored a major success in its counter-terrorist efforts when it successfully killed, the mastermind behind the Beslan tragedy and several other high-profile terrorist acts. According to the FSB, the operation was planned over six months and made possible due to the FSB's increased activities in foreign countries that were supplying arms to the terrorists.
Basayev was tracked via the surveillance of this arms trafficking. Basayev and other militants were preparing to carry out a terrorist attack in when FSB agents destroyed their convoy; 12 militants were killed. During the last years of the 's second presidency (2006–2008), terrorist attacks in Russia dwindled, falling from 257 in 2005 to 48 in 2007.
Military analyst praised the effectiveness of Russia's security agencies, saying that the experience learned in and had been key to the success. In 2008, the American 's Foreign Policy magazine named Russia as 'the worst place to be a terrorist' and highlighted especially Russia's willingness to prioritize national security over civil rights.
By 2010, Russian forces, led by the FSB, had managed to eliminate out the top leadership of the Chechen insurgency, except for. Increased terrorism and expansion of the FSB's powers. President Dmitry Medvedev meeting with FSB Director on the way from to 's capital in June 2009 Starting from 2009, the level of terrorism in Russia increased again.
Particularly worrisome was the increase of suicide attacks. While between February 2005 and August 2008, no civilians were killed in such attacks, in 2008 at least 17 were killed and in 2009 the number rose to 45. In March 2010, Islamist militants organised the, which killed 40 people. One of the two blasts took place at Lubyanka station, near the FSB headquarters. Militant leader —dubbed 'Russia's Osama Bin Laden'—took responsibility for the attacks.
In July 2010, President expanded the FSB's powers in its fight against terrorism. FSB officers received the power to issue warnings to citizens on actions that could lead to committing crimes and arrest people for 15 days if they fail to comply with legitimate orders given by the officers. The bill was harshly criticized by human rights organizations. Role Counterintelligence In 2011, the FSB said it had exposed 199 foreign spies, including 41 professional spies and 158 agents employed by foreign intelligence services. The number has risen in recent years: in 2006 the FSB reportedly caught about 27 foreign intelligence officers and 89 foreign agents. Comparing the number of exposed spies historically, the then-FSB Director said in 1996: 'There has never been such a number of arrested by us since the time when German agents were sent in during the years of World War II.' The 2011 figure is similar to what was reported in 1995–1996, when around 400 foreign intelligence agents were uncovered during the two-year period.
In a high-profile case of foreign espionage, the FSB said in February 2012 that an engineer working at the, Russia's main space center for military launches, had been sentenced to 13 years in prison on charges of state treason. A court judged that the engineer had sold information about testing of new Russian strategic missile systems to the American.
A number of scientists have been accused of espionage and illegal technology exports by the FSB since it was established; instances include researcher, physicist, physical chemist Oleg Korobeinichev, academician Oskar Kaibyshev, and physicist Yury Ryzhov. Ecologist and journalist, who worked with the, was accused of espionage. He published material exposing hazards posed by the Russian Navy's nuclear fleet. He was acquitted in 1999 after spending several years in prison (his case was sent for re-investigation 13 times while he remained in prison).
Other instances of prosecution are the cases of investigative journalist and ecologist Grigory Pasko, who described danger posed by military chemical warfare stockpiles, and, chairman of the. Other arrested people include, a former KGB officer who assisted Soviet dissidents, who disclosed illegal purchases of eavesdropping devices from foreign firms, and, who had written that Russia was working on a nerve-gas weapon. Counter-terrorism. FSB officers on the scene of the in 2011. Combating terrorism is one of the main tasks of the agency. In 2011, the FSB prevented 94 'crimes of a terrorist nature', including eight terrorist attacks. In particular, the agency foiled a planned suicide bombing in Moscow on New Year's Eve.
However, the agency failed to prevent terrorists perpetrating the. Over the years, FSB and affiliated state security organizations have killed all presidents of the separatist including, and. Just before his death, Saidullaev claimed that the Russian government 'treacherously' killed Maskhadov, after inviting him to 'talks' and promising his security 'at the highest level'. During the and, all hostage takers were killed on the spot by FSB spetsnaz forces.
Only one of the suspects, survived and was convicted later by the court. It is reported that more than 100 leaders of terrorist groups have been killed during 119 operations on North Caucasus during 2006. On 28 July 2006 the FSB presented a list of 17 terrorist organizations recognized by the, to newspaper, which published the list that day. The list had been available previously, but only through individual request. Commenting on the list, Yuri Sapunov, head of anti-terrorism at the FSB, named three main criteria necessary for organizations to be listed.
Foreign intelligence According to some unofficial sources, since 1999, the FSB has also been tasked with the intelligence-gathering on the territory of the countries, wherein the SVR is legally forbidden from conducting espionage under the inter-government agreements. Such activity is in line with Article 8 of the Federal Law on the FSB.
Targeted killing In the summer of 2006, the FSB was given the legal power to engage in of terrorism suspects overseas if so ordered by the president. Border protection.

Border guards of the Federal Security Service pursuing trespassers of the maritime boundary during exercises in The (FPS) has been part of the FSB since 2003. Russia has 61,000 kilometers (38,000 mi) of sea and land borders, 7,500 kilometers (4,700 mi) of which is with Kazakhstan, and 4,000 kilometers (2,500 mi) with China. One kilometer (1,100 ) of border protection costs around 1 million rubles per year. Export control The FSB is engaged in the development of Russia's export control strategy and examines drafts of international agreements related to the transfer of and military commodities and technologies. Its primary role in the sphere is to collect information to prevent the illegal export of controlled nuclear technology and materials.
Claims of intimidation of foreign diplomats and journalists The FSB has been accused by of using psychological techniques to intimidate western diplomatic staff and journalists, with the intention of making them curtail their work in Russia early. The techniques allegedly involve entering targets' houses, moving household items around, replacing items with similar (but slightly different) items, and even sending sex toys to a male target's wife, all with the intention of confusing and scaring the target. Guardian journalist, claims to have been the subject of such techniques. Doping scandal. Main articles: and Following allegations by a Russian former lab director about the in, WADA commissioned an independent investigation led. McLaren's investigation concluded in a report published in July 2016 that the and the Federal Security Service (FSB) had operated a using a 'disappearing positive test methodology' (DPM) from 'at least late 2011 to August 2015.'
It was used on 643 positive samples, a number that the authors consider 'only a minimum' due to limited access to Russian records. On 9 December 2016, Canadian lawyer published the second part of his.
The investigation found that from 2011 to 2015, more than 1,000 Russian competitors in various sports (including summer, winter, and Paralympic sports) benefited from the cover-up. Emails indicate that they included five blind powerlifters, who may have been given drugs without their knowledge, and a fifteen-year-old.

Some Kremlin critics such as have claimed that the FSB is engaged in suppression of internal dissent; Litvinenko died in 2006 as a result of polonium poisoning. A number of opposition lawmakers and investigative journalists were murdered while investigating corruption and other alleged crimes:, Alexander Litvinenko, (US), and others. The FSB has been further criticised by some for failure to bring Islamist terrorism in Russia under control. In the mid-2000s, the pro-Kremlin Russian sociologist claimed that FSB played a dominant role in the country's political, economic and even cultural life. FSB officers have been frequently accused of extortion, bribery and illegal takeovers of private companies, often working together with tax inspection officers. Active and former FSB officers are also present as 'curators' in 'almost every single large enterprise', both in public and private sectors.
Former FSB officer, a defector, along with a series of other authors such as, (also former FSB officer) claimed in the early 2000s that the 1999 in and other Russian cities were a attack coordinated by the FSB in order to win public support for a new full-scale and boost former FSB Director 's, then the prime minister, popularity in the lead-up to and presidential transfer of power in Russia later that year. In his book Mafia State, the Moscow correspondent for from to 2007 to 2011 and a fierce critic of Russian politics, alleges that the FSB subjected him to continual psychological harassment, with the aim of either coercing him into practicing self-censorship in his reporting, or to leave the country entirely.
He says that FSB used techniques known as (literally 'corrosion' or 'undermining') which were perfected by the. See also.
