Hello everybody I'am new in this forum and look for help and advises.
Here is my question:
Can I overclock?
If yes: Steps for doing it, knowing that my bios has no option for overclocking.

I think you can. But I think you would have to do it via software. And what CPU cooler do you have?

You need a 3rd party motherboard such as a GIGABYTE, Asus, DFI, etc to be able to overclock in bios, which is the much better option. Everything else will transfer over.

Thank you for answering

1) do u mean that i have to change the mother board ?
2) and the bios is changing depending on my motherboard Brand ?
3) and it 's safer to overclock from the bios and not use a software ?

if yes what do u suggest in the middle of the range ?

and What about the CPU Cooler ?

thank you
