OC my CPU

Well first off, do you have a custom computer or OEM?

If its a custom, just go into BIOS by hitting either DEL, F1, F2, ect. Then go into the page thats called something like "Cell Menu", "Frequency control", ect. You can overclock in windows, but oc'in in BIOS is much better.

I'd say you should, try to set a goal of 3Ghz.

Wait, I don't know what your talking about; 'mobo', 'OEM', 'Custom PC" What are these?

Mobo: Motherboard
OEM: God knows, but I'm guessing a computer bought in a store or from a company. :D
Custom PC: One you've built yourself. (my red one is a pretty example, too bad my camera's busted or I'd brag. :/)

One thing though: Don't overclock if you don't know what you're doing. You could accidently break some parts, in this case probably the CPU.
 
Oh ok, I couldn't figure mobo stands for Motherboard...
It's got an Intel 'mobo' and I baught it from the store ready, and made some upgrades to it: GPU, RAM DVD-RW
 
what do you plan on doing with your computer? and what type of cooling are you using?
custom pc = self built
any other pc would be dell, compaq presario, and other company bought pcs.
 
if you have a custom pc make sure your cooling is good enough before you bother to mess with bios settings or anything. id suggest having temps under 30Celsius before considering overclocking.
if your pc is company bought, you will most likely need to flash your bios (basically get a different bios) which is tricky and can mess up your computer (like it wont boot). company bought computers mostly come with un-overclocking bioses

Since you bought it from a store, you cant overclock it since they remove that option in the BIOS.

Wrong.

There still may be hope to overclock it, VIA Windows, that is.

You can try a program like CPUCooL, or CPUFSB (which can be downloaded here). And, before you get all excited about doing your thing, you are also going to need to find out the make of your PLL (Phase-Locked Loop), and see if it's even supported by the program. Instructions on how to find and identify your PLL are also found on the site listed above.
 
Alot of Motherboards will have a jumper setting wich will allow you to overclock. Check out your motherboard manual. I know alot of intel boards have this option. Also go to the manufacture website, you might beable to download an updated bios. then just reset the bios with the new one

As you stated, some of those programs dont have support for OEM boards. Not to mention you cant get as high of an overclock within windows as you can via BIOS.
 
Heh, I bought my PC from a small-time PC company called 'Multirama' that I highly doubt know what over-clocking is...
lol

Does the PC have a "brand name", or is it built by the Multirama people?
