K, I've decided to OC this computer. It's only got 512mb of RAM and P4 @ 2.79. What's a good temp. reader that I can get? How much do you think I can OC this machine to? And..how do I OC?
no. the bios is locked and there is no way that i know of to unlock it. i have searched myself, but i don't believe you can unlock the locked bios on the dell boards. i wish you could though.
Step 3) Run cpucool and go to Functions->Change front side bus/change CPU speed
Step 4) Under PLL manufacturer, pick ICS and under PLL type, choose 952607
Step 5) Click on the Fine tuning button
Step 6) Adjust the Frequency using the buttons at the top and adjust to a reasonable overclock value.
Step 7) Hit Freq Set and the system will be overclocked immeadiately. However, not all programs will register it, but CPU-Z and benchmarks that don't rely on processor cycles will show it.
Step 8) Reboot, and then all programs will recognize the new speeds
