Steve O B Have Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 er... DFI Forum... ASUS MoBo? Maybe you'd have more luck on the ASUS Forums? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G2145cal Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 besides, there's no chance of overclocking through the bios...software overclock, maybe and even at that you will not be able to do much...not worth the time or effort...branded computers have stripped bioses to prevent overclocking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 My experence @asus is they don't really seem to care much about overclocking. But there are some overclockers there who may help if 1 catches yer' thread. Theres quite some diffrence between these boards (DFi-Asus) I sorta' doubt many poeple here can help ya' unless someone is running a board of the same model as yer's. Good-Luck..... "Clay" PS. Asus boards can overclock ok. but they are alot more work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 @haixingau: I have several customers who own that specific HP model. One of my customers was in the same position as you, wanting to overclock the system. Asus produced that motherboard for several 1st tier manufacturers (HP, Compaq, Gateway) and does not provide a retail BIOS for it. The BIOS that HP provides is very limiting, to say the least. PCI lock, FSB adjustment, memory timings & divider support are non-existant. Your best bet would be to replace the motherboard with one that does provide overclocking options. I'll look at my notes when I get home and find-out which board I used to fulfill my customer's overclocking wishes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
