they don't like you messing with prebuilt's, cuz if you damage it in some way by overclocking, you'd RMA and they would have to fix it...

Most prebuilts, with the exception of a few, have a locked BIOS and do not offer options to change core BIOS settings except for system date/time and boot sequence.

Your option would be to use software to overclock such as Clockgen or SetFSB2.0.

Sorry mate.

at least it beats not being able to OC at all...

your biggest problem is gonna be the vCore, since you can't change that...you CPU is only gonna go up so high without bumping the voltage up

Trust me don't OC a retail Gateway... Unless it's an FX or something intended for OC'ing.

But if you insist, you'd have to flash your Pheonix BIOS... but to find the proper flash one would need to know your motherboard model, etc.
