Come on people, one of you guys must have a P4 3.2

 

[StrangerGuy]

P4 3.2 what? Northwood or Prescott?

 

[Canterwood]

Upping the front side bus is the only way to overclock the P4.

Also as a note when i go into the BIOS i checked under every setting but there is nothing dealing with speed or timings ect that i can change(except for selecting my PCI-e card instead of onboard ect), i hope you guys can help me.

Go in to bios, set a ram divider to keep your ram from being OC'd, and increase the FSB..what kind of cooling do you have? 5xx Prescotts run very hot, so if you are trying to OC on the stock heatsink you aren't gonna get far. The most I've gotten out of my 3.2's is 3.6ghz.

stevty2889, thats the thing my mobo is a micro ATX and in the BIOS the are no settings like that for me to change, could you or somone else please post a pic of where to go and oc it please.

I know I must be really anoying the hell out of you guys but please help me with this and i do have stock HSF.

Also when you did have your Prescott did you set that fan to spin at its highest one way or what did you do?

Thanks for all the help.

Well with no settings in the bios, it's a bit tricky..the only option is to see if you can get clockgen to work with your motherboard, however you overclocking options will be severly limited.

what socket is your processor? Sounds like you need a different Motherboard with some more options. If it's 478 socket , Asus makes some nice ones for fairly cheap that will get you better options to use....that and like an XP-90 cooler , or a nice Zallman for that processor....that'll help a lot.

You have no overclocking options at all in your bios, so your only possiblity at all is clockgen. Thats what I am using to overclock my pentium-M on my Asus P4P800-VM, which also has no overclocking features in the bios.
