Can you overclock a Intel P2 440BX Motherboard?

msman · Apr 27, 2002

Hello All,
I am a newbie and have never overclocked. I would like to overclock my Pentium 2 350Mhz processor. I am running it on a 440BX motherboard, does this motherboard support overclocking?
I would appreciate it if somebody could reply to this thread with either information or a website with information that would help my query.
Thanks

The BX chipset can be overclocked and was used on a ton of different motherboards, the key thing we need to know is what brand and model board you have. If it's an Intel made board I doubt your gonna be able to overclock it. If it's an aftermarket board check the BIOS and see if you can adjust the Front Side Bus anywhere in it.

my 440BX slot 1 MOBO supports processors up to 1 GHZ.

That doesn't mean you can overclock it, just that it can run faster processors at stock FSB speeds.

Who makes the motherboard? If it is compaq, you cant. trust me. I have one (not in use ) If it is intel, sheck to see if the PLL is supported by CPUCOOL.

My fault, I thought since the original question was can he overclock his BX board and not what speed processors it can handle, your answer threw me off.
