As much as he explains it i dont get how he does it:

It seems like hes punching in pins on his processor and mobo. can someone help explain how to do this?


I understand the risks, i know that dell uses low quality parts but i need to do it.
 
Who would go through regedit just to put a dell logo on his system panel? also he has dell diagnostics on his toolbar..

but whatever i get it, unless theres an overclocking option in your bios you dont know how to overclock.
 
haha, YOU say that your computer is a E5150, but the COMPUTER says it's a Dimention 8400 :P interesting.....(BTW, I have a Dimention 8400 too :P)

All you need is Tuneup Utilities 2008 to change the logo! You can change it to anything you want.

damn why dont we try a different approach and believe that he is telling the truth instead of crying 'photoshop' at everything that goes against what you think is true?

now i have an HP with an intel celeron processor, 2.93ghz and it was overclocked for a time to 3.4ghz. it was a noticeable speed increase and it was done within windows. but according to you, that never happened?

and yes dells and hp's are the same in terms of overclocking through windows, i've used both brands with some success on each side.
 
I overclocked my emachine 2.1ghz sempron single core to 2.6 easy with ntune but when i restarted ntune would load the setting and for some reason i would get blue screens. I think it would read from the bios what its supposed to be and confuse it lol. So i uninstalled ntune and it fixed that problem.

How do you OC an HP?
 
^^ I knew that but, what software? So you have to do it inside of windows right? B/c as far as I know HP bios's are locked.
 
yeah most brand computers have the bios locked so people dont do stupid things and ruin the compy. but there is software that you can use, if you have ati graphics you can use ati radlinker or if you have nvidia you can use ntune. and you can download them right from nvidia's or ati's website. i used radlinker in my laptop, and i use ntune in my compy now to overclock my gpu (the stupid asus mobo wont let me) or change fan speed speeds. you can also change voltages, oc the cpu, change ram timings, all sorts of crap. and also the asus cd that came with my mobo had oc'ing software on it so i wouldnt have to restart the computer everytime i wanted to change something, its called AI booster

You can overclock certain components without altering settings in the BIOS or using software inside of an OS- but doing it how it was originally done the old fashioned way by altering the hardware.

If you read through the links the original poster has posted- the guy is showing a solder mod he's done on his proc by shorting some pins.

To the original poster why don't you join the xtreme systems forum and ask more there.


Oh and I can tell some of you are confused- the screenshot posted in the first post isn't one he's trying to pass off as his own but he's linked it from the forum to show.
