The BIOS...even though it's not really software.

BIOS gets my vote to, OC "Programs" can be bad for your computer.

and oc programs arnt permanent... reformat ur comp and say bye bye to ur speeds

 

[overclocker]

How do you get to the bios i cant get to it from start up im a noobie.

 

[Azn Tr14dZ]

What are your system specs?

Not even that, some programs like ClockGen don't even let you save at all...onece you restart or turn off your comp, then say bye bye to your speeds.

I HATE MIS... anyways it should be F2 or delete... try both

 

[overclocker]

Ok i can get to menu but theres no bios opions in there just some other settings like change the time and other stuff.

 

[overclocker]

so F2 or delete ok ill try

 

[rpg711]

in the menu there should be options... try something that says advanced or something like advanced

also, aljon, did u get the nb cooler u were talking about?

No money...I feel fine with my stock anyways, as long as I don't increase the voltage for nb.

How's your project going?

... i like exploded a 20$ 100% pure copper pipe that i used days to heat and meld to the right curve....

 

[overclocker]

ok F1 is the menu and there is advanced opoins and it says awerd bios or somthing at the top but still no way to OC in there

 

[Azn Tr14dZ]

You should be able to overclock it in the BIOS. It's an MSI and X200 chipset. Read your manual.

 

[rpg711]

are u kidding me? the pheonix award bios in a MIS piece of crap?... i wish i had the award bios... i have a "clone" of it. u definately can change clocks in that.

 

[overclocker]

yea thats the one if eny one could help me with this like a step by step kinda way or if some one has the same motherboard that would be nice ty.

 

[rpg711]

not many people have that mobo

 

[Azn Tr14dZ]

I have the Award BIOS, it's really good.

And overclock, I just checked you motherboard out, and you can't overclock on it. I'ts mATX right? Unless you have the XPRESS 200 CrossFire, no, you can't overclock.

 

[rpg711]

[overclocker]
