I read that one has to change out the mobo ect. in order to overclock a premade rig.Can I just change out the Bios (?) chip?
Thanks

What about my operating system? It came on a disk with all the other junk HP included. Will it load on the new mobo and will the software restrict overclocking?
Thanks All
There is so much more involved with overclocking than having a tweakable motherboard -- appropriate memory, sufficient cooling, powerful PSU, and well ventilated case. Frankly, I would not recommend even trying an overclock with your computer. Beige box computers are great for what they are designed for, which is out of the box, plug and play for general PC needs, but they are not designed for hardware flexibility.
