Anyone has tried to overclock it, for they are in countless number.I tried setfsb, but didn't find a working PLL for it.Saw a comment on another thread, he said that he tried another optiplex model PLL, and it worked, that person is inactive now.So anyone please help

And? If u wanna overclock, well unfortunately u probably can't... It would need an overclockable CPU, and a BIOS with relevant functions

Dell BIOS Prevents any and ALL Overclocking. Will not work.

Yea that was on an Inspiron and an AMD CPU. I've seen people overclock over machines likes the 320 with setfsb but as far as as the 760 goes i haven't found anyone yet besides doing a hardware mode to fool the motherboard into thinking the FSB is higher than what it really is but i wouldn't do that unless you have some good skills. Also if you over clock you will probably need a better heatsink as well and i have still yet to find a heat sink that will work with the Optiplex X20-X80 series of the 775 Socket boards. The 1156 and up boards use stock coolers so its easy to upgrade but not the 775 socket ones. I have a Dimension 9150 with a Pentium D 2.8 that i use a test PC. I'll try the setfsb on that though. See if it works for me at least. if i fry it doesn't matter. got it for free.
