I can overclock the DELL XPS 420.

[M300843499]

But is 375W PSU safe? i have heard DELL PSU's are actually very reliable but i do not know that.

Q66000 in it i can use Set FSB and maintain 2.77ghzz from stock 2.4ghz stock voltage and the RAM is at 810MHZ from 666mhz.

 

Anyone here know if the BSEL mod will prevent further CPU overclocks??? can SetFSB push passed 3ghz once i do the mod?

Perhaps show evidence to support your answer?

I've had Dell OEM PSUs die on me numerous times. Also probably not enough wattage

This fire was started because of an overclocked Dell with a stock PSU.

25 watt GPU installed, 105w CPU with stock volts that cannot overvolt so overclocks will not increase load, just a higher chance of instability.

I wish for answers with some brains and actual facts.

 

Should have Googled.

That's only some models. I believe yours is not one of them.

 

 

So before you go calling out people for not using evidence, make sure yours is correct.

You should always Google before posting a topic.

 

 

This fire was started because someone didn't Google.

Baseless answers.

 

I know where i do not belong now thank you community.

Will take myself somewhere more intelligent. It's not the fact you may be right, the only thing told was instantly hyperbolic and not researched.

 

See you.

Some low-quality answers... Sorry man.

You should be fine with overclocking, but I would be careful since those OEM Dell motherboards aren't great. If your CPU draws too much power you might even burn up your VRMs and trash the board. Your PSU will probably be fine, Dell has a decent track record as far as the power supplies they use. Your computer won't explode and burn your house down.

 

I am surprised your motherboard even supports overclocking. Good luck!
