I want to OC my processor from 2.93Ghz to something a little bit higher. But im having a hard time finding my FSB settings in my BIOS. Could any one provide me with an online manual or step by step instructions? Im not sure if i have the switches in the computer or if i have a Jumperless Motherboard.

Thanks in advance.

did you build your pc or is it a dell/hp etc?

Its a HP Pavilion a705w and i did not build it.

Ive added some ram and thats about it.

all pre built pcs have their bios locked so you can't overclock, but there is a way around this and it is called clockgen but be warned overclocking through software is not the ideal way

Their is no other way to OC my computer then? maybe thats why i couldnt find the settings in the BIOS. i saw the speed of the processor but i couldnt change it.

alright, so i have configuered Clockgen and CPU-Z correctly. However im still running into a problem. I have chosen the correct PLL type, but when ever i Select Apply selection in the PLL Control window the values are set in that window. Now, when i click on the clock button to show the real time speeds of the computer. They have not changed from the factory default. It still reads 2933Mhz. It doesnt change even with the slightest incrament.

any advice for me?
