VC820 overclockable??

[asabour]

Is the intel VC820 overclockable?? Can o/c the p3 in it? Gimme details. Ive found nothing about it in the BIOS settings...

Completely NO. Unless you are running an Engineering Sample CPU, which I doubt. All recent Intel motherboards are completely autodetect and have no settings for overclocking whatsoever.

Intel disapproves of overclocking anyway.

how do i tell its an engineering sample? I think it is...

Doubt it... your CPU would be marked NFR - Not For Resale probably or you would have paid out the butt for it from someone. Most likely NO. I have a Vc820 next to my left leg, and this is the primary disadvantage to buying an Intel board.

Say it three times fast:
Intel boards are not overclockable.
Intel boards are not overclockable.
Intel boards are not overclockable.

well lets say i do have a CPU that is like this, is it easy to overclock?

 

[AndyHui]

There would be multiplier options in the BIOS if you did get an Engineering Sample.
