How can i overclock my pc?

[myst3rym@n]

I dont get it i heard you can overclock a celeron D over 3000 ghz, but my computer only has a bois not cmos and i tryed every key on start up,
I have a E machines T3624.

If you're this clueless I would not recommending overclocking.

[myst3rym@n]

well I run some game servers and it usely goes over the limit plus i got plenty of fans on the computer temperature monitoring software also.

You can't overclock a pre-built PC like that anyway...

BIOS stands for "basic input output system" and what it does is handle the computer hardware and startup sequence until an operating system of some kind can take over. The CMOS stands for "Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor" and it is a little lithium battery on your motherboard that is used to retain certain settings while your computer is turned off. An example would be the clock and date.

If you don't know what a BIOS is, then I also suggest that you don't even mess with it.

[myst3rym@n]

yes i do.

[deeplist]

my computer only has a bois not cmos

This statement in itself implies that you do not.

[myst3rym@n]

well on some computers its cmos and anyways cmos is a flash memory chip and bios is what gets the code from cmos and changes to the settings in the bios and it sends it to the cpu when the computers booting.

You will never be able to overclock a pre-built computer because:

They make their own Montherboard and BIOS and they put a fixed clock speed.
They want you to buy a better computer from them, so they remove the physical possibility of overclocking, if you do overclock it, your CPU may smell weird and maybe you'll have a new smoke machine. And you'll have my favorite meal: a fried CPU

You're full of it. Please just drop the topic.

[myst3rym@n]

Well, when I last opend up the pc to install more ram there were a hole bunch or dip switches and jumpers, could I change the clock by that?

[niv]

ROTFLMAO
Just please, give up. No. You can't, not with this machine anyway.

[heymrdj]

Yes you can actually. But you would need EXACT motherboard schematics. See as I learned with my crappy dell (never buy a dell) they lock everything so you always have to buy a new one. I can't even replace the powersupply because the motherboard uses a special connector (instead of ATX 1.1 20 pin or ATX 2.0 24 pin). So that emans you gotta buy from dell or get a new system. Now I build any comp I want. Its fun and easy. And I save 900$ on a super gaming rig (too abd it was for someone else instead of me :( )

[instanthosting]

Dont no how dont bother unless you wish to break the poor machine, look for books or tips advising how or pay someone pro to do it or even try

[niv]

But you would need EXACT motherboard schematics.
And eMachines is going to provide you with them?

3000ghz is impossible given today's technology and wafer(silicon) limitations.

Not only that, it's worthless to overclock a eMachines because A) the motherboard doesn't allow it and B) even if the motherboard did allow it, you'd have to buy a new heatsink and fan because whatever eMachine supplies is definitely not enough and C) you'd absolutely need a new powersupply, and since it's a proprietary eMachine's motherboard, you cannot simply buy a new powersupply off the shelf.

Talk about a run-on sentance there. :rolleyes:

I got 40 powersupplys on hand in my back room me and my dad take apart worthless computers and use parts for ours if needed also I got one my dad bought off shelf and never put it in a computer.


Also with the sechematics thing: I have it on my start menu it came with the computer in a pdf, also I would give a link but im waiting for my webhost to come back up after switching servers but they are still going over problems.

[niv]

If you can't tell the difference between schematics (which would apply to any single element of the motherboard) and specifications, you're going to fail miserably...

There's no mystery about you buddy, you're just an eager dumb kid that doesn't know A: what he's talking about B: the slightest idea of how to go about doing this.

what is over clock (ing) im confused

Forcing your computer to run faster than it was originally intended to do. Sometimes it can prove quite beneficial, that is, of course, you didn't buy from a big name(Dell, HP, Compaq, eMachines, etc).

Just any random powersupply isn't going to cut it. First of all, every power supply is different. They supply different wattage, or different amperage on different voltage rails. Chances are, the power supplies from worthless computers are exactly that, worthless.
