SetFSB is a free Windows utility designed for overclocking computers by adjusting the Front Side Bus (FSB) frequency. The program allows users to modify their system's clock speeds without entering BIOS settings. It supports various chipsets from manufacturers like Intel, AMD, SiS, and VIA.

The software features a simple user interface and provides real-time monitoring of system parameters such as CPU frequency, temperature, and voltage. However, users should exercise caution when using SetFSB, as incorrect settings can lead to system instability or hardware damage.

One of the main advantages of SetFSB is its ability to work with motherboards that have limited overclocking options in BIOS. The program is particularly popular among computer enthusiasts and overclockers who want to improve their system's performance.

Note: SetFSB should only be used by experienced users who understand the risks associated with overclocking, and it's essential to ensure compatibility with your specific hardware before use.
