I'm running a stock Dell Dimension 9100 with a Pentium D 820, 1 gig of DDR2 @ 633MHz, and an ATI X300 SE w/ Hypermemory (soon to be upgraded to a 7800GTX). The CPU cooler, MB, and all fans are stock.

Anyways, is it possible to OC this rig (preferably keeping the warranty intact ;D), or has anyone already OCed this rig, and what were your settings, and what were your results?

Well you probably wont be able to OC through the BIOS since I'm sure they have those options locked. I'm also fairly sure that it would void your warranty.

if you OC you will void your warranty....offically....but you can get away with it sometimes....

you can OC it, but with stock cooling it wont go much higher and frankly isn't worth it.

you will need better cooling, better case air flow, better RAM and so its just not a good idea.
