help on overclocking P4

hi guys .. wonder if anyone will be kind enuff to teach mi how to overclock my p4 on a intel mobo. i tried to go in to the bios .. but it does not allow me to tweak my FSB.....
thanks alot !!!!!!!!

Also, which Intel Mobo?

Yeah, the said motherboard doesn't allow changes in FSB frequency - as you have observed. So, sadly it is not possible to overclock.

If the mobo doesn't allow FSB changes there is no way to overclock a P4.

How much do you want to spend? List your computer's specs. Escecially, the memory.

OK, I'm going to assume that means it's a P4 2.0 with 512k cache (aka, the Northwood core). Now, we know your board supports 133MHz bus clock (aka 533MHz FSB). So you CAN try overclocking it to 2666MHz on your board buy raising the bus speed ON THE CPU from 100MHz (400) to 133MHz (533). If you have an address for me to send "Crashman's Hardware Overclocking Guide", PM me and I'll send it to you. This type of overclocking requires the minipulation of pins.

Hey, here's some news for you: I'm thinking of writing an article on adding a 8-switch microswitch to one of these boards so you can do those settings and reverse them easily on any Intel board with many 400-bus processors. If you wanted to send me a board I'd do the mods for free. This could be my chance to break into journalism.

I suggest that anyone who wants to attempt CPU modification varify that CPU's ability to run at the higher bus speed first (on a board that allows overclocking) As for modifying the board to use DIP switches instead of CPU bus speed/vcore detection pins, well at least you can set the CPU back to stock.

Abit BH7 is gaining praise as an excellent overclocking board. Cost under $100.

- US dollars.

- I can't think of any other motherboards in that class and price range that would cause me to look past BH7.

Right. It would be reversable of course if you modified the board to turn that socket pin on and off with a switch.

Right now the fastest boards have the Intel 875P chipset which was introduced about a week ago. These use Dual Channel DDR and new memory tricks to make the thing far faster than previous boards. Abit even advertises that theirs will always be stable to at least "1 gigahertz bus speed", which is 250MHz, aka QDR1000. Compared to your QDR400 bus of course, it's 250% higher.
