Hello everyone, I've got a question that I'm hoping a seasoned overclocker can help me with. I've got a Dell E521 here that I was hoping I could overclock to get some extra performance out of. As you may already know, Dell locks down all of their BIOS so to make this impossible. However, through some digging online I've found that many people have achieved success by using programs such as CPUFSB and other various in-os programs. I don't mind a bit of a challenge and this is a practice machine at best, so the risk-to-reward is pretty low anyway.
I've attached a CPU-Z screenshot showing the CPU it has in there now as well as some other data. With a single-core, single-thread CPU clock speed is your friend, and I think boosting it even a few-hundred Mhz would be worth it in performance.
Basically, I'm hoping somebody can help walk me through this process, and give me some detailed instructions on how to start, as I've never overclocked beyond pre-sets in the newer, fancier BIOS some MOBOs have and OC'ing my GPU.
Thanks!
