Is this a good processor to overclock? I have watched countless videos and read tutorials on how to overclock but until i try it I wont fully understand it so I thought id have a go. But I wanna play it safe as possible cause even though this was a free computer I dont want to fry it.
heres the info: cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 1 model name : Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 1.80GHz stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 1793.349 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm up pebs bts bogomips : 3586.69 clflush size : 64 And it is a premade hp computer from around 02. So heck, it may not even be able to overclock. also, how do I update the bios? do I do that from the os? I have no clue. and ive got all the paperwork for this baby so Ill try and find the mobo manufacturer and update before I get started. |

Current cooling may or may not be sufficient. Is it active or passive cooling (ie. heatsink only, or heatsink with fan, watercooling, etc.)
