Hello .

. and welcome to the Forum . .

Probably not . . most of the Big OEMs have very restricted BIOS.

Damned OEM!!! I found out about the big wigs exploits with my "first" overclocking mission. An HP pavillion. Soon found the virtues of hand built irresistable.

build one yourself. I got most of my latest machines by buying bits here and there. Eventually, once people see what you are doing they might even donate some parts or even full PCs. Someone I know came round last night with two case, one of which was an old server, along with about 5 terabytes worth of hard disks in a box. All for free!!
My mother always taught me "theres nothing wrong with scrounging and begging, as long as you get something out of it".
