How to raise the CPU voltage higher than the BIOS will allow?

[SuprSonik]

Does Clockgen (or any other Windows OCing program?) allow you to raise (or lower) the voltage beyond what the BIOS allows? For example, I need a microATX board, but also want to overclock it a bit...the board I'm looking at has no options to change the voltage. Can I do this using Clockgen, or is there any other way to do this?

This is a socket 754 motherboard using the nForce3 150 chipset.

Here are some of the basics of "overclocking"...

Thanks...but I skimmed the article and don't see the answer to my question there. I already know the basics quite well.

If you mean the part about voltmodding, I was looking for a solution that didn't require modding my board.

Software can't get past hardware restrictions...
You're stuck if the MB doesn't offer voltage adjustment.

That's what I figured. I just didn't want to resort to vmodding my board because when it comes to modding, I've only done one board and I used a guide. I'm not sure it would be a good idea to mod a board without a guide, and it's doubtful I'd ever find one for this particular motherboard (AOpen MK89-L).

Thanks for the help though.

And motherboards are just a little too complicated to go modding if you don't know exactly which pin of which chip to solder to what other pin of some other chip. That'll most likely result in some chip melting to some part of the motherboard, due to a short circuit caused by some wire.
