Overclock My 3.2GHz?

[Triple-X]

I have the Pentium 4 540 HT 3.2GHz Prescott, and I have an OEM motherboard. (Medion OEM) When I go into the BIOS to tweek some settings, the options are in gray. There's nothing for me to chage form auto to manual or something like that so that I can change speed, voltage, and etc. Is there another way? I heard that people use programs to do it, but I also heard that that was very unreliable. Is there a way to bypass the BIOS and be able to tweek the settings? Thanks.

P.S. What's the most you guys overclocked this CPU? I have the Zalman CNPS9500LED, so I thought overclocking would be possible.

if you cant change anything its a locked mobo. but otherwise
just step your fsb around 5mhz, you should be able to get 3.5 ghz safely, not sure exactly what mobo u have but it should have somethiung like M.I.T. intelligent.... something in the bios then just switch the auto clock to manual and step. i use prime95 for stability, and aida32 for temps.
(ive never trusted overclocking programs) hope that helps

I went into my BIOS and there's nothing I can change from auto to manual

There website says the motherboard does not exist...

if you could find the manufacturer website, you could prolly flash the bios and then make it work.

I searched my motherboard and it's ancient! I barely found anything for it. Except RAM and one guy was selling one on eBay. Didn't find anything so I could flash the bios Only option would be to use another motherboard? If that, then oh well. I might buy new case, psu, and motherboard in the near future anyway...
