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.

No you said OEM pc. Someone might not know what that is...just clarifying things.

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).
