Overclock a locked BIOS (works with branded PCs such as dells, gateways, compaqs ect)

Hello !

Great tutorial but I use setFSB which supports way more PLL.
But when I overclock my amd 4000 x2 (2.1ghz default) to 2.6ghz I get a blue screen or my computer freeze, i think that it has something to do with the voltage so my question would be how do i change the voltage ?

Thanks !

Just a question what do you need to do to make sure you dont damge your computer< like what sort of precations should you take before doing this?

I'm pretty sure that you don't want to overclock your laptop, even if you could find the PLL code or whatever. Most laptops don't have adequate cooling systems for the CPU, and you'll easily overheat it.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But I was reading around a while ago about how to overclock my Toshiba laptop, and I finally decided not to because of the risks.

I'm tempted to do this. I just picked up a used HP mobo for 18 bucks and the options in bios are pretty basic..

Hey guys would you reccomend doing this with a laptop? I'm at 1.73 ghz and i just want to overclock to 1.75 or 1.8 maybe 1.85 so i dont think cooling should be an issue.

Now @ your question, I would only do it up a little, like only a few MHz @ a time. Then test it for a while, then if that doesn't create any problems, go up and up and what not. It is very risky to overclock. I would recommend an external cooler for your laptop. Though, you're probably going to shorten your laptops life expectancy.You also, will only be able to get a few MHz before you kill your laptop. Also, you'll shorten the battery's charge, waring it out quicker if the laptop battery is Lithium(If it was bought with in the past 9 years or so, it's probably Lithium)With overclocking a laptop, you may not even be able to use your computer for long periods of time. So, whether you think the pros outweigh the cons or vice versa, that's your choice.
