I would like to OC my Core 2 Duo E8400 to about 3.2~ Ghz. Any advice on how to do so? BIOS isnt an option, i have already looked into it.

What do you mean BIOS is not an option?

 

There's a guide here: http://www.overclock.net/t/575551/tutorial-how-to-overclock-a-e8400-to-3-6ghz-24-7

but if you can't change them values in your BIOS then you won't be able to overclock.

Does you mum know you're here?

You can overclock processors with locked multipliers, BUT it has to be done by increasing the FSB so if you can't access BIOS I don't know how you plan on doing it.

You need to have a unlocked CPU with an motherboard that is able to do it sorry..

please no. This is 775 were on about. Everything was overclocked whether the multi was unlocked or not. 

 

FSB is the key to speed.

Is there any way to unlock my CPU, or get past it? I have seen tons of E8400 OC's to around 3.6 Ghz.

You have no options in BIOS at all? There should be something...

 

If there isn't, then I suppose you should resort to THAT program. It's risky, time consuming and stupid, but it's your only shot if BIOS is out of question.

.... this is LGA775 m80, there was nothing like that back then lol. its all FSB, BCLK and memory. the main problem here would likely be motherboard VRMs that most likely wont hold up to much and capacitor death aswell

 

 

OP here you go:

 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)
