Topic. How can I overclock a E4300 to make it faster? THanks.Cornerstore
Check your motherboard documentation. The easiest way is to modify FSB clock in the BIOS setup, if your mobo supports it. FSB clock speed x processor clock ratio=processor speed. The E4300 stock is 200 FSB with clock ratio of 9, for a 1800Mhz speed, or 1.8G. If your board can go up to 300 FSB, then you'd run at 2.7G. Other ways are to adjust the voltage that the CPU gets, but that's more risky. Can fry it if you don't have enough cooling...
The best way to overclock is to build your own PC with a motherboard that's designed for overclocking with such features in the BIOS. Easy to find if you look for them. Newegg.com is a decent place to hunt.

aaahhhhh, if you raise the FSB, you're gonna have to raise the voltages too:roll:
during system boot up press F1 esc del or some combination of keys i dont know your computer, and go into bios
certain bioses let you manipulate voltages fan speeds etc
if its locked download a bios cracker onto a floppy or something
