Drivers will not affect BIOS OCing.

What mobo do you have? It's not a a prebuilt PC from a major manufacturer like Dell or HP is it?.

cus if it is, then u won't be able to... they will have locked that fun little feature...;)

o, and if it is like that... i feel ya, i have a compaq with an old P3 866GHz that i would dearly love to overclock to... 1.1GHz mebbe?
 
if it is a prebuilt pc then they locked the BIOS, but if you built it then something is seriously wrong lol

Thats pretty damn fast dude:rolleyes:

Basicly, if it is from dell or HP, the only way you can OC is if you are damn good with a sodering iron:eek: I think you would have to soder on a new BIOS chip and that would require you to soder on every trace the connects the BIOS chip to your mobo. If you bought a new MOBO you can OC.
 
yea, dont do that.
thats the dumbest thing i've ever heard!
soldering iron next to a computer chip haha, ruin your computer!!
you can FLASH the bios! meaning, load different info into the bios!
you'd need a bios flash thats compatible with the chipset though, find out your chipset and find a flash that would be compatible.

No... you can use ClockGen, CoolFSB or CoolCPU to OC in Windows.

Ok, so if I had an ASUS nForce 4 SLI board, and I wanted to flash it with a DFI nForce SLI board's BIOS, I could do that, and it would work fine?

Of course it wouldn't.
