Unfortunately the only good way to oc is through the bios and as was already said manufacturers lock the bios to prevent overclocking.
not triyng to be a-hole just ****ed that i cant get some decent asdvice on how to oc my cpu. and as to sa i can run it in all forms but ist has the same hang ups and glichtes in all of them and its not just because of gta that i want to oc. i heard that i could get this proc upto 2.3GHz on 2-3 other tech sites but i didnt know that i couldnt do it on a pre built rig i still think that there should bee a way around this. Does anyone know any?
That's if you have decent cooling, and that thing runs really hot... with the stock cooler on a P4 you run at like 70 degrees on Idle, even worse when its on Max load..
If you have a do not have a prebuilt, and a solid cooler, than you could OC, but even then, the FPS difference is miniscule and you have a lot higher temps.
