OC Medion Celeron 2.2 GHz - Impossible?

I explored the BIOS, and I did find the relevant settings; FSB/Multiplier. However, the settings were not possible to modify. It was locked. You couldn't even mark the choices. It "skipped" them, and "landed" on the next settings which one is able to change.

Does this mean I can not overclock my Intel Celeron 2.2GHz from Medion, or is there a special software which one could incorporate?

I do not have great expactations as I initially thought the BIOS was the only way to go.

Any comments this time?
 
it look like you can't oc them. Unless you buy another motherboard.

The chip will be ocable on a non locked bios of another board.

Sorry old chum
 
I see. Great to get answers, however.

It's not that I have to overclock - I am happy with the computer -, it's just that it would be interesting experimenting with overclocking.
 
I appreciate your effort. That said, I have to admit I do not know what OEM means, nor do I know if I have a OEM system.

I have heard the term, and I have a feeling it is quite a basic term. Anyway; I am not familiar with it - could you elaborate a little bit, please?
 
OEM = "Original Equipment Manufacturer" If the component is OEM then it means the component is intended to be sold as part of a complete system instead of as an individual component.

OEM parts are usually sold by the dozen, and are cheap to the companies that want to buy them. That being said, they are usually not incredibly high-quality and don't have as many features as individually sold parts would. We can conclude that since your motherboard came with your computer, and it's got restrictions/locks on the BIOS, that it is indeed OEM.

Well said. And yes, most arrows now point in the direction of my computer being a part of an OEM system. The three letters "OEM" is squeezed in the registration number, so one should be positive.

Thanks.
