Overclock Core 2 duo E7500 @ 2.93 ghz

[Shobhit Singh]

How I can overclock my CPU. I have Zotac GTX 650 Ti and I think my CPU is bottlenecking my GPU.

Also I din't find any setting in BIOS regarding CPU overclocking.

Any help will be appreciated, Please help!

My Specs:

CPU : Core 2 duo E7500 @ 2.93 ghz
RAM : 4gb @ 666 MHz
GPU : Nvidia geforce GTX 650 Ti, 1 gb
PSU : 450 watt
MotherBoard : Intel DG31PR

as a former owner of Core 2 Duo e6750 @ 2,66GHz (same as your CPU, but lower clocks) i can say that the max i reached was 3,4 GHz. Yes you can OC your CPU, maybe 3,4-3,5 GHz on air, but i recommend a decent cooler for that.
Some tips:

1. disable Spread Spectrum in BIOS (set PCi-E frequency to 100 (default))
2. Dont OC your Ram (ram frequency changes when you change the BUS, so be carefull to keep them @ stock Frequency or under)
3. Do small steps, i guess you can start @ 3,2-3,4GHz without altering the voltages.

Crisan_tiberiu thanks for your reply!

But my motherboard doesn't have any of these settings. Do you have "Intel's DG31 PR" motherboard?
My motherboard is "Intel's DG31 PR".

Is there any way I can do this without getting into BIOS?

These CPU's can be OCd the old schoole way only, so, if you can't change your FSB in your BIOS then you are stucked with this frequency . Google your Mobo for some OC guides (even youtube can help sometimes)
