Hey,i really want to overclock my CPU but i know it is a bit way more complicated...I just want to overclock it with software,without the BIOS,my BIOS seems a bit old for overclocking(2007) and i dont have overclocking option there..I also mention i already overclocked my Video Card and the results were excellents...I just want to know how to overclock my CPU now ...Thanks for your attention here is my system rig:

-CPU:Intel Pentium Dual Core E2180 @ 2.00GHz

-GPU:nVidia Geforce 9300 GE 256 MB(overclocked core clock and memory clock ONLY!)

-Motherboard:Packard Bell MS-7301(or CUBA MS-7301)

I think these ones are really sufficient for helping overclocking my CPU..Thanks for you assist im waiting answers right now here!I forgot to mention i have Windows 7 Professional and 2 GB RAM...Waiting answers...

    Hi,

    You cannot overclock with your motherboard, not even with software. It's blocked because it's an OEM motherboard and if you'd even attempt to overclock it, it would definitely damage the motherboard as it's not built whatsoever for going over its specifications. If you truly want to overclock, your best interest should definitely be to purchase newer-generation hardware and build your own system.

    Second of all, for CPU overclocking, stick to the traditional BIOS method. Don't overclock with software such as the Asus Suite, or any software for that matter. OS to BIOS software is horribly buggy.

    Some extra info, there is no 'quick' way to overclock a CPU and have it be stable. You have to set the clock speed, then adjust the voltages, go into the OS, and if it boots, well then your next step is to stress it as much as you can with various stress tests, benchmarks, etc, for as long as possible to determine whether or not it's 'stable' at your currently voltage. If it is, lower it one voltage notch and test OVER and OVER again until you find the point in which you can no longer go lower because you crash upon trying to either boot into the OS, etc.

    I am a Forum Moderator on Overclock.net with more than 14k posts. I have partaken in various discussions, helped, and done my own overclocking for a long time now. It's not something that can be accomplished headache free, most of the time. It requires lots of patience.

    The most important thing to remember is NOT EVERY CHIP IS THE SAME! If your friend gets his 2600k for example to 4.5 @ 1.27v and you can't, it's because he got a better chip than you. Simple as that.

    Regards,

    Patrick

    But i don't know how did the video card work overclocked...I really thank you for your time...But you sure there isn't any way to "unlock" an OEM motherboard?I mean...I've heard that some BIOS updates have unlocked an OEM motherboard to overclock for other people...But how did the video card worked overclocked?I mean...I know the CPU is harder to overclock...But there must be a way...Will any BIOS update help me in my way through overclocking CPU?And also what Motherboards  overclockable or processors are compatible for my system rig?I mean i want one of these two overclockable(your recommend)will i change my processor or my motherboard?

    But only compatible processors/motherboards
