Chris123NT Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Just pump up the fsb untill the comp won't boot. Then back it off a little, Increase the voltage and try again :). Oh btw can a mod move this to overclocking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris123NT Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Please say ur joking ok? Go into ur bios and adjust the FRONT SIDE BUS (FSB) and increase the core voltage. And oh one pointer if u have a dell/gateway/HP/sony or any other name brand computer u can't overclock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kman1985 Posted June 23, 2002 Author Share Posted June 23, 2002 when overclocking do you need to go inside the PC, or do u just have to adjust the stuff in the BIOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziddey Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 ugh from the looks of it, it doesnt seem possible that you built the system so chances are (unless it was like a microcenter or other small comp machine) its not overclockable. and on top of that, judging by your newbieness, i would recommend reading up on this for a good month before you do anything.

Roger H. Veteran Posted June 23, 2002 Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2002 what kinda of computer did you have. I doubt you built it so then that means mommy bought it for you and then that means she bought a dell or gateway or compaq right? If so then don't bother trying... it's hardcoded NOT to overclock!
