I was wondering how i overclock the PCI-E from 100mhz to 115mhz.

I have already tried going into my bios, but it shows nothing of editing a PCI-E bus.

I am currently at factory settings.

it will have a good performance inprovement ONLY if your graphics card is getting so much data to process that FULLY ultilise the PCI-E bus.Just run it on 115mhz and everything should safe and sound.

you press "DEL" or "F2" or "F11" it all depends on your motherboard.in the setting there should be a overclock menu.i think it would help if you post your whole system spec.

A PC that's a Dell or HP or some major vendor will normally lock every OCing option, so you can't OC.

I think they're trying to avoid RMAs and warranty claims that way.

I'm much newer to all this then the guys who have helped you so far but cant a BIOS flash sometimes unlock an OEM mobo assuming it is not on the most up to date version?

Yep. Some OEM machines still use reputable mobo on their machines. I know I've seen HP machines with gigabyte boards (if memory serves me correctly).

Sadly, I don't ever recall Dell using brand name boards but if it's an XPS Dell then they probably would.

Best suggestion is to check. If it's a brand name board you might be able to load a bios from the mobo manufacture (MSI, Asus, ect).
