Overclock Chromebook? It sounds like something that should be impossible to do. However, with the power of Linux, everything is possible. The Chromebook doesn’t have the typical bios that you would find on a standard PC. Therefore, you can’t easily change the CPU frequency. Using Linux, we can achieve a software FSB overclock or underclock. For this tutorial, let’s focus on underclocking because that’s the easier thing to do (damn that click bait). Overclocking is not impossible to do, but will require a deep understanding of FSB overclocking and its relation to your chipset. Try this tool if you are interested.

Change Chromebook CPU Frequency

Begin by opening a terminal in Chrome OS by holding down Windows 10 home 32 bit serial key. CRTL + ALT + T. Inside of terminal type in the following:

SetFSB is one of a kind apparatus that sets the Front Side Bus (FSB) of your framework. It is separated from another overclocking programming. FSB Connects your CPU to the principle memory, so making the right settings is a brilliant method to build the exhibition of your PC as far as possible. ClockGen is not yet another overclocking utility. It uses the PLL (phase lock loop) of your system to increase or decrease the overall clock including CPU (Central Processing Unit), FSB (Front Side. SetFSB is a program that makes possible control the PLL (Clock Generator) on your board, so you can control the FSB and PCI/PCI-E buses while in Windows. That way you can overclock your CPU. I happen to use an Asus board, and when I overclock via the BIOS with the pre-defined settings (5%, 10% and so on), it adjusts my RAM:FSB frequency ratio to 3:4 and if I use the 1% manual.

(you can change trusty to the name of the Linux distribution that you have installed.)

Now download the cpu frequency utils program:

• Below is a brief explanation on how to overclock your Core2Duo. Getting started. To perform a good overclocking, you need a good motherboard, processor and enough memory. Intel make use of basebfrequency generated by the chipset of the motherboard, called the FSB for Intel (HTT for AMD ones). Early C2Ds work with a FSB of 266 MHz.
• Overclocking is increasing the base operating frequency of the processor by modifying the front-side bus (FSB) frequency. Earlier it was possible to change the clocking frequency by modifying the internal multiplier settings, but in most modern processors it is locked. Ergo, modifying the FSB frequency is the only way of overclocking a CPU.

Now check your current CPU frequency speed:

My current CPU speeds are at 1.4Ghz which is the max speed. https://treefootball515.weebly.com/blog/sim-4-deluxe-mac-download. To underclock to 1.2Ghz I entered the following commands:

c0 and c1 represent the two CPU cores on my Chromebook and the -u parameter tells the program to make that the maximum frequency. Now if you run the cpufreq info command from earlier, you should see the adjusted CPU speed. Keep in mind, these changes will not persist over a reboot.
