I was wondering if i would be able to overclock my CPU a bit, at least with these specs. Note, just the CPU. I do not really want to OC anything else.

Here are the specs of my CPU and Motherboard. Added the Graphics Card too, just in case

If it's possible to OC my CPU, please let me know. Friend of mine told i were totally able to, but nTune ain't exactly one of the best programs..
 
Since the PC is a Dell, your options are limited to either nTune, SetFSB, or ClockGen.

Ah, ok. Well, nTune ain't exactly that good. Guess i'll check out ClockGen and SetFSB then.

Thanks for the answer. ^^
 
Just note that with no voltage adjustments you may not get very far at all. If you are in to overclocking past a couple hundred Mhz (1-4 would be my GUESS), its new motherboard time.

Yeah, exactly. I was hoping to overclock my CPU with like 2-400 MHz, but either it keeps on crashing and resetting itself, or it just freezes. No matter what program i try.

Although, compared to the previous machine i had prior to this one, it's like upgrading from stone to steel.

Even if i can't overclock my CPU, it's still a decent enough gaming setup. For my needs, anyway..
