Hello!

im getting a new pc next month and i'm planing on overclocking my current pc is a hp compaq it has a msi 0a90 mobo 4 gigs of ram and a Pentium e2140 i herd its a good overclocker. I've tried software overclocking programs and the bios is crap and i know your going to say "don't overclock" but i don't want my next build to be my first overclock

Thank you!

First and foremost, prebuilts usually use system specific motherboards and BIOS's, and that means your odds of being able to overclock are nil. So when entering the BIOS if you don't see anything for CPU or northbridge frequency controls your out of luck. BIOS mods would be your only hope and I'm not even going to touch on that.
