Hi guys,

The E2200 is a very overclockable CPU, as you can see by how I've overclocked it. However, we need some information, and very little of what your provided is what we need, so would you mind editing your post and removing some of that text so it's easier to scroll down this page?


First off, is this an OEM machine or one you built from parts? Either way you have an Intel brand motherboard, so it isn't ideal for overclocking even if those options are available.

Do you have the stock heatsink, or an aftermarket one? If the latter, what brand and model is it?

Finally, graphics card are you using, and what power supply are you using? Brand, model, wattage.

No, Its a built up PC but I didn't do it myself.The shop assembled it because I wasn't familiar with all the things then.I can't change the motherboard so I hope there's a work around.I have a NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT 1GB graphic card
and my psu is Tech-Com 4500psp 450W(Some Indian brand.There aren't any psu brands in the UAE.And I couldn't find a higher wattage.So please don't ask me to change it,I can't..sorry)I'm using the stock fan because again there aren't ant aftermarket fans in UAE.I'm using 5 case fans and here's the PC temp while idle: http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af126/hemingway60/NewPicture1-3.jpg

Thanks for any help.

hemingway60

I provided the information you requested, now what??

Phædrus2401

Unfortunately, I don't think you can overclock.

1.) Your motherboard appears to lack the features necessary to overclock
2.) I would not recommend overclocking with such a low-end PSU regardless
3.) The stock heatsink will only allow a ~10-15% overclock at most.

hemingway60

Well, I didn't put in my mind to overclock it alot, 2.4-2.5GHz is fine with me.Is it necessary that it has to be done from the BIOS.Aren't there any programs which are able to do the job just fine?? Please, I BEG YOU TO HELP ME

Thanks for any help.

Phædrus2401

There are programs that will overclock from within the OS, but they are not good. They tend to be fairly unstable, and many have a tendency to over-volt your processor, which can lead to its early demise. A clock speed of 2.4-5 GHz might be achieved with the stock cooler. But there's still the matter of the power supply.

I know that overclocking is seen as a way to get a bit more performance out of a system without having to pay for it, but there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. Overclocking is dangerous to your hardware, especially if you don't have the proper setup for it: a motherboard built for overclocking, a decent heatsink, and a source of clean, stable power. There's nothing I can do to stop you from overclocking using a program. You'll probably enjoy increased performance. But the risk of one of your components--the RAM, motherboard, CPU, or power supply--going boom is too great for me to recommend anything.

hemingway60

So...what you mean is that I shouldn't overclock my Processor??Not even to 2.4GHz?!

Phædrus2401

I wouldn't recommend it. Don't get me wrong, it might turn out fine. But at the same time, you're taking a lot bigger risk than overclockers ordinarily do. It's up to you, but unless you can A.) get a quality power supply from a reputable brand, B.) get a motherboard that supports overclocking so that you don't have to use software overclocking (which is bad), and C.) (optional) get a better heatsink, I can't recommend it.

hemingway60

Well...I'm ready to take any risk involved.How can I overclock my PC??
Thanks for any help

greenbrucelee

your system isn't very good for overclocking because you have a crap power supply which is very important when overclocking and your cpu isn't worth it and your motherboard isn't good enough and you need an aftermarket heatsink to do a decent overclock.

If you are determined to overclock read this it will tell you what to do if you are new to overclocking / read here for starters

you will also need a phone so you can phone the fire brigade when your pc catches fire.

hemingway60

Ok,I understood that my PC will get destroyed if I overclock it.So I won't.Looks like you guys want what's best for me so I quit the idea.Thanks for the advice and for all your help.You can close thread if you want to,no use of it anymore.
Oo...almost forgot,the fire department is just behind my house so it won't be a problem if the PC burned..LOL
