ok i have been looking at this site daily for awhile, but i am still not 100% sure on this. How do i overclock these CPU's? I know it has something to do with the bridges heh.

i meant how do i do this without multiplyer/fsb/voltage settings in the BIOS

Hey, yea, to unlock the chip, you need to use something to connect the L1 bridges. By doing that you unlock it so you can change the multiplier.

What mobo do you have? If you mean that you don't have anything in bios to change it with, and if you don't have any dip switches on the mobo, it will be very hard to oc it, since you would have to modify all the bridges on the chip. In my mind that almost isn't worth it.

If that's the case, I would almost recommend getting a new mobo that does support friendly overclocking.

good luck
