Over clocking my cpu.....

[Tyler22]

I my bios there is no way to overclock my cpu or memory or anything.....is there some other way or sort of application I can get to overclock cpu? Thanks

please list full system specs .. aka all of your hardware .. for us to be able to help

EDIT: application wise Clock gen by CPUID willl be able to OC your rig through windows

 

[Tyler22]

Processor: PROCESSOR, 80547, PENTIUM 4 PRESCOTT DT, Pentium 4 Prescott DT, 3.0GHZ, 1 MEGB, 800FSB, SKT-T

Mem: DUAL IN-LINE MEMORY MODULE, 512, 400M, 64X64, 8, 240, 1RX8

Graphics card: ATI Radeon x800xl Pci-E

I got this info from dell.....I am not sure what my mother board is but it is the MOBO from the Dimension 4700

all I really want to do is Overclock the CPU

well i know that the DELL?s dont give anything in the way of BIOS support that will allow you to Overclock .. clock gen will allow you to OC your CPU by upping the FSB .. but without knowing what mobo you have it will be a bit hard as you need to know which version to download, and i dont think dell supplies that info on the net .. if you download Everest home edition and check the make and model of your motherboard with that, and then check clock gen to see if it supports your motherboard .. if you then download the correct version you will be able to use this to Overclock your CPU through windows, remember to stress test as well otherwise you will not be sure on whether your Overclock is stable

Ok I downloaded everest and went to the mother board page of it. It says the motherboard id is: <DMI>..... and the motherboard name is: Dell Dimension 4700..........Is that the kind of MOBO I have? I thought Dell didn't make it's own MOBOs. Anyway is there any hope for me to overclock now?

nope you're screwed

buy a retail mobo and PSU and you should be good to go

Are you looking in the right place for the motherboard name, for instance this is a pic of mine

Because im positive that most Dells can be OCed via Clock Gen, i remember on an old work PC in a previous job, i used clock gen, on a 3Ghz P4 for cracks and giggles and it worked fine.

cant overclock a dell. period. no how, no way.

i know the BIOS in Dell's are just plain crap .. the only thing i could think of was possibly using clock gen (a windows app instead) ..it worked on my old work comp which had a crap BIOS with regards to OCing, but that was in actual fact a Medion PC ..

I thought i had heard on the net that some dells can be OCed .. maybe a hacked BIOS or summin .. but at the end of the day that is what you get with pre-built PC's especially Dell's

To the OP still try and find out what mobo you have got, so not to totally rule out clock gen

EDIT: having done a little research on the net, it looks very doubtful, i haven't seen anything that states you can (except for some coding for a registry hack or something ).. just get a new mobo if that is ultimately the case, and possibly a new PSU like previously stated above by "the cobbler"..

Dell doesn't want some goof playing around in the BIOS and screwing up the machine.

The motherboard physically doesnt have the clock generators to produce the FSB changes.

In other words, you cant overclock it.
