Over clocking a Dell

[T_Yamamoto]

I have a E2140 which can easily do a 100% over clock. I tried setfsb but gave me bsod when I tried it

What? dude, you'll never be able to get the same high overclock via software on a non-oc oriented board.

Cool story bro.

you might be able to do a pin-mod (well not really a pin-mod since the processor doesnt have pins, but still the same concept) to up the FSB. I know this has been done to q6600 processors, i dont see why it couldnt be done to others.

this will just end badly.

If the chip WILL do it the rig knows no difference.

Just make sure chip is compatable with guide. Up the fsb and core if needed.

Did that to an HP with an E3300 or somthing like that. Worked like a charm. too bad overcock.net is a shithole.

I thought it was just filled with younger kids, and foreigners.

I advise you take what I say with extreme caution.

Some OEM boards are extremely similar to retail motherboards. Several Acer, HP, and Gateway models from a few years ago used a board based on the Abit NF-M2S. I had an Acer Aspire T180 rig that had been sitting around for a while, and bricking it wasn't really a concern. I flashed the retail Abit BIOS and suddenly I had complete access to normal BIOS options. I had to use modbin to manually unlock the voltage controls, but it did allow me to push a 3800+ up to 2.7 GHz.

In retrospect, it wasn't really worth it because that 3800+ Orleans didn't overclock well at all.

That said, good luck finding what board your Dell is based on. I wouldn't bother with programs like SetFSB because they add overhead to your system that negates part of the improvement from overclocking.

Yeah, and not without a pretty decent vcore boost either.

Kinda reminds me of the pencil trick I did with my old Socket A AMD Athlon.

The only one I did was a Dell laptop with a Pentuim M S479 upped the fsb to get 2ghz out of the chip. Back then pins were on the chip so one had to bend a itty bitty tiny wire to place in the socket.

OH god, I remember that, the older kids were doing it. I didn't have amd at the time. It was a PAIN IN THE ASS. he had to remount cooler each and every time. D:

 

[MustangSVT]

i remember doing pencil on my amd. but after few weeks I always had to draw the line again.

 

[T_Yamamoto]

:/ aww.

Your Dell is in cahoots with your parents. It will gladly overclock for you when you get a job.

I lol'd

"cahoots" is word I need to work in more frequently.
