iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 30, 2004 The easiest way is to access to the BIOS and increase the FSB. But don't increase it to much because the computer might refuse to start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 7, 2005 i ma really noob bios i know but it is locked.... :cry:If you mean the bios is locked with a password, you can get around it by unplugging the computer. When you've done that, you open it and remove and re-inserting the battery. This will reset the bios to factory setting. You will loose all changes you've made since you got the computer.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 7, 2005 Yes, i dont want to risk it myself, and i dont think my CPU is very compliant with overclocking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 8, 2005 Overclocking is piece of cake - all u need is just the manual of ur CPU&Motherboard, a good cooling system (a few vents) a program to monitor ur CPU temp, so that you could know when it is too hot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 9, 2005 lol.... just a few moments ago I overdawed my CPU a bit...actually, it was the RAM memory which had a problem with 166 MHz and the PC refused to boot up... so, a CMOS reset had to be done... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 9, 2005 I've tried overclocking my ATI 9800 XT.. But It went broke :cry: Luckelly I got a new one from the manufacturer... They also sayd something was wrong with the cooling.. So I was very happy again.. But never tried to overclock my videocard anymore.. So if you are a n00b don't try to overclock your processor.. It can give you lots over trouble.. First try it with an old PIII or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
