specs of my old crappy computer 1.2ghz celeron s (256kb l2 catch) (q-tec AMD noisless cooler 3000+, socket a/370, yes it does work with my celeron) 384mb sd ram intel 810 motherboard 256mb ge froce fx 5200 pci ok well as i have pointed out, i do not have stock cooling on the celeron-s, i want to know if its possible of overclocking my celeron-s to at least 1.6ghz or maybe 2ghz? what application should i use to overclock it as there is no options in the bios to overclock anything.
Ok I'm not sure but there is probably a jumper on your motherboard named "Config". If you find it change it from pins 1-2 to 2-3.
looked for hours and i cant find one. so what exatly would changing this config jumper on my mobo do?
i couldnt find a manual but i think that is just your chipset not your mobo, i dont think that there is any software based CPU overclocking programs but your BIOS might have hidden features,eg- on my old HP 513a i pressed F1 to go into BIOS and F10 to access the hidden features such as multiplier settings!
no it didnt, i actually searched on the net for about 4 hours or so just to find what mobo was in it!
you could get third party overclocking utilities since some older computers have a blocked off bios, these programs will dynamically overclock to your wanted speed at startup everytime you boot, thats how i got my old 1ghz p3 presario to 1.06, after that it went unstable haha oh yeah, im bada*s
also dont forget to tell me what program it is, but i also have one more question, i downloaded rivia tuner to overclock my fx5200 on my old crappy computer, but i am using the windows grapics drivers that get installed by service pack 2 or, and when i want to enable overclock it restarts the computer, and when i get back on, it wants to restart the computer again, to overclock my graphics card do i have to use propor nvida drivers?
