Issues running clockgen

[tontod]

I just downloaded clockgen and the only thing it picks up is my cpu speed. I have a Q9650 on a Dell Optiplex 960. I know I cant overclock much, but I wouldnt mind shooting for a mild overlock. Is there something I'm missing or need to do? I downloaded CPU-Z and it was able to read all the hardware info. I did a quick read of the FAQ but not sure how to proceed.

Nice computer, but I don't think you can overclock a Dell. OEM computers usually have tight restrictions on what you can and cannot do.

He's not talking about overclocking through the BIOS.


tontod, download SetFSB, instead of ClockGen. The last I heard, it was working very well with OEM computers.

I downloaded SetFSB. However, when I click on the Get FSB button, it says my bus speed is 75 Mhz

When using setfsb you need to find out which clock generator your board is using and then pick that one from the list.

Ah ok. Do I get that info from CPUID?

No,it is on the board itself. It looks like this.

Hopefully setfsb has a profile for the clock generator your board uses.
