Hello, guys.
I recently got into overclocking, so I'm quite the nub., but, I realize that since I have a Compaq, my "BIOS" is the equivilent of a nun's... - making OCing the motherboard near impossible.
After hours of looking, I couldn't find any software for my MB, and decided I'd give up for now.
Motherboard: MSI MS-7525 (If you know of any compatible software, do share. I'm afriad I don't have a floppy-drive, so flashing it may be difficult.)
Anyway, I also have an Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2160, which I've heard is an awesome overclocker. I'm wondering: would it be safe (or is it possible) to overclock my CPU without having to overclock my motherboard?
Or are OCing the CPU and OCing the MB synonymous? From what I've read, it's the same thing, but - I figure this is worth a try. A bit of hope, I have!
