Just forget it as there is no option in bios to tweak anything on brand computer

OC a machine for the gray masses

You could trry a program like cpucool from www.podien.de

Or you could replace the motherboard with one which isn't castrated.

new motherboard is the way to go

New mobo or she won't go.

Well, there's always softfsb if you know the specifications of your clockgenerator chip.

What is the best Motherboard? What do you guys recomend?

 

[Slychilde]

Check the motherboard to see if there are any Jumpers or switches to change the FSB. I had an older HP Pavilion who's BIOS was dumbed down, but it still had switches and I got a lil' OC outta it. In that specific case, there was a little table right next to the switches indicating what each setting did. Worth a look!

Otherwise there are programs such as CPUfsb and softFSB as mentioned before that raise the fsb.

Where do I find CPUfsb and softFSB?

 

[Slychilde]

Here!

Click on utilities, then "motherboard and cpu tweak files". For some reason when I tried linking directly to that page it didn't like it.

That's from Pinky's site that's in his sig. There's a ton of goodies to be had there!
