-- Posted by Jay JWLH at 7:20 pm on Nov. 26, 2006 From what I have learned, there might be two methods in which you can do it. The first part is using a program to do it, so I used SpeedFan, but I didn't know the motherboard, so I couldn't get that working. Even FreshDiagnose couldn't give me a motherboard name that was in SpeedFans's list of motherboards. So nothing. The other is putting the jumpers across two things physically in the motherboard. I might need some information on this, and some advice on it as well. From the report FreshDiagnose gave, my Processor is under-clocking, so I want to at least be able to put it at the proper level. Here is what FreshDiagnose shows me in the Motherboard Category.

You need an extra area for heatsink and better cooling, which isn't worth it, imo. -- Posted by Jay JWLH at 7:27 pm on Nov. 26, 2006 Can't be sure if I ommited enough information. -- Posted by Snackpack at 7:28 pm on Nov. 26, 2006 Yeah, you'll fucking melt your computer if you dont have adequate cooling. So i dont know cause i never really felt the need to do it. Cant you simply increase the MHz you're processor runs at by hitting Ctrl or whatever (before windows loads) to get into start up configuration and editing the values set in there. -- Posted by Jay JWLH at 7:30 pm on Nov. 26, 2006 I will watch the temperatures if I have to alright, but it could go just a bit faster. Maximum Speed          3000 MHz Current Speed          2400 MHz Every time you try and overclock it, you usually test its limits to where you think it can handle it. I don't think I am that far yet. -- Posted by masterfultemptation at 11:09 am on Nov. 28, 2006 Try using the program "Speedswitch XP".  It is possible you have SpeedStep which is causing the underclocking.
