overclocking XPS 710

thepandaman112 · 08-18-2009, 12:33 PM

I have a dell XPS 710 with a Nvidia 590 Sli motherboard, 8800 GTX 768mb video card, core 2 e6600, 2gb ram and Windows vista 2.40GHz

I have never overclocked before. I went into the bios and I can't find the Multiplier or the FSB I know how to overclock if someone can help me find the way to get the Multiplier and FSB.

I want to go from 2.40GHz to like 2.90GHZ or 3.00GHz

It's locked down so you can't OC it.

well there is software to do so for example setfsb, however there is more risk to it with software and setfsb is quite a hard program to use.

If you're gonna go that far you might as well sell it and build your own.

The Dell systems are not standard motherboards so any board that will fit in the case will be a Dell board with the same Bios limitations.
