Postby Air-2000 » Sun Feb 17, 2008 10:15 am

Hey guys just read upon overclocking my Intel Quad Q6600. Went into bios and i just have a list of options generally about my pc, theres no advanced section or anywhere i can change my performance settings? Ive took a picture below to show you what i can see. Hope someone has got round it.

Dell locks out advanced settings on every single one of there computers. The only way past it is flashing BIOS (risky) or getting a new motherboard.

BIOS flashing isn't THAT risky if you know how and have the correct bios, but what BIOS would you flash a Dell mobo with?

Sometimes the options are hidden on some boards, and need a special keypress, unlikely the Dell will ever be clockable, you could ring their support and ask.....
