So I built a computer but sadly it has locked bios. So i was thinking maybe there are some moded bios for it. I only need to add 1 MHz on the cpu. So the mobo is an ASUS IPIBL-LB or also called HP Benicia-GL8E. Or some cpu overclocking utility.

HP boards are famous for locking the BIOS

 

did you rebuild a LGA775 system???

 

because that board is a G33 chipset and you said you built a PC?

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

its not the bios thats locked, its the CPU itself thats locked, the bios only shows you what you can overclock if applicable

the Intel Core 2 Duo Series was very rarely ever unlocked for any kind of cpu overclocking, my last CPU was the e4500, (same series btw) and it wasnt able to overclock, and looking at the Intel Specs page, it looks like the e7300 is also one that cant be overclocked

actually you still can OC them but only using FSB or Front Side system bus speeds

 

CPU run at 266, 333 or 400MHz

 

OCing the CPU needs you to OC the FSB to your desired speeds

I wonder if that program can do it... I bet not, but who knows. OP might get lucky.
