what if i buy a new motherboard? one that can overclock the cpu?
devsen's forum posts
I got that tool open, but I don't know how far I should go. My motherboard's pretty crappy, it won't even let me jump me processor that much, and everything is stock. Any suggestions how far I should take it--without a mini-Chernobyl in my room?
Right now my core clock is set to 475 MHz
memory clock also to 475 MHz
and the shader clock to 950 MHz

^link to the pc, if I didn't say it already, everything is stock and I'd like to keep it that way for the time being.
Thanks again for answering my questions, I'm really new to this.
this is an extremely noob question but, to access the AMI BiOS, i have to press delete on booting right?
sorry I have to ask this
I have an HP computer with these specs (I used CPU-Z to find them out):
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700, supposed to run at 2.66 GHz
an ASUSTeK Benicia motherboard with Intel P35 chipset and 82801 southbridge
and an Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT
Is there any way I can overclock it without changing my cooling system or motherboard, or doing something dangerous with the voltage? Right now i think the processor runs at 6X, what setting should i increase that to get the best, most stable setting possible without frying my computer.
Just need to the best I can do without upgrading any hardware yet.
Thanks
I didn't buy a computer for gaming, but got a really good deal on a media center type but everything's how it came from the factory
