hye all..hope dun mind if dis noob ask many questions. got many things in mind. acer's comp lock what feature for oc? is dis possible for me to oc after i change BIOS only?


thanks

wondering where u find the bios for ur board...

i also have acer comp.cant oc but can tight the ram timing.i also use ctrl+f1,ztrl shift f1,alt shift f2 also didnt work.even ratio dun have.

standard OEM pc cant be overclock execept their comes wif facturer overclocked

wut do u mean dude?

tight the ram timing..interested on it too.. after got oc


how to know this comp's locked or not? aspire one..mobo american megatrends if im not mistaken


thanks all

my acer is aspire 7600g but looking at the mobo is made by msi.searching the model n it oem brand cause dont have the model at their website(msi).u can try msg acer to have new bios with unlock feature if they willing to.

i think u can oc branded pc like acer, dell n etc.... but it all depends on the mobo u got. my dad once had gateway pc and the bios allowed us to adjust the fsb

How you wanna change the bios?You mean you wanna flash a new bios in it izit?

i dun think they are willing to give new bios that have unlock feature...

american megatrends one can oc or not? how can we know ?

no..i mean change the settings only voltage..etc

Haha , want OC , get a custom Config Computers .. got more room to OC .

Package Computers by Companies usually had their BIOS locked ... and usually Lousy MOBO .... Cant OC much ...

The money you spend is count for the expensive software and the warranty , not really the hardware , because with the same Configuration , i can get even cheaper on retail prices on local market ...

Ah ... still wondering why DELL still selling the P4 comp ... kinda out of date ... now conroe

where can i get Config Computers? is dat software ? rigmasters.. after i get this, can i unlock my BIOS ? the mobo sure lousy.. BIOS only provide several options

older PC wif older intel chippy wont OC. open ur case & try look the MoBo wheter it using the original intel board. if yess, u cant OC it no matter wat u do

oic..wut bout the new one..? but my mobo manufacturer is acer..not intel board..


tq all

if not mistaken, intel board wif i945 has the overclocking option even it was original OEM intel board

in ur case, go into the BIOS setup & try playin' wif the menu given, whos know ur mobo has the FSB adjustment option

if im not mistaken acer threw in a decent cpu hsf (aku dah tengok dah heatsink ko).
It has heatpipes and it should perform better than the stock intel heatsink..

What i think u should do is change your mobo to a decent one, use artic silver 5 thermal paste, change the heatsink fan and ur good to go.

I dont think can change lor coz acer normally locks its bios adi 1.Im previousle an acer desktop user oso..

change mobo.. dats my last choice i think.. my priority now is getting a 'cool' cooling system n then oc..


all suggest me to change mobo too? other suggestion ?

change mobo.that what i do with my acer rig.

i dun plan it yet though.. if i change mobo.. wnat to find better one ..sli+c2d etc. will burn money lot~~

i have check the BIOS..really.. its show the voltage n lil bit info but can't change them.. isnt any way we can use other BIOS with more feature in my comp?

of coz.. without changing the mobo..

^ if u cant change those setting, tat mean ur pc aint OC'able

thats it..

oic..other noob question..can we change our BIOS?

can someone help me..?

Some settings like the timings can change but clockspeed cannot..

if u relly want to oc u can try clockgen. try google it. i also use cheap mainboard that limit my htt @250mhz but using clockgen i can do 275mhz @cas 2.5

hrm.. i tried b4 the clockgen on my acer aspire pc b4 but it doesnt work... and anyway is comfirm that acer pc cant oc due to the mobo intel board and for sure lock it aldy.... the best is juz change the mobo, psu and ram.... thats what happen to me... only the casing is aspire... the inner part all other stuff already

haha thats why i dont buy branded pc.. but he still can try open the case and try to look at the chip for clock generator. i m not really familiar wth intel.

yalor..haha..i menyesal after i bought my acer desktop 2 years ago..Sumore it was expensive..

wassup wif the clock generator..?

do u think anyone will buy my board if i want to let go it... ?

ya lor....
i tot any branded pc locked and cannot oc

with clockgen u can overclock your proc in windows. u can download it free try google. in more easy way. i'm also feel sick with my board but when i try using clockgen i'm able to overclock up to 2.5 GHz from original 1.8 GHz amd64 300+.
this doftware let u adjust the fsb/htt at ur proc using a generator chip at your board. even a laptop can overclock using this method.
good luck
