Hi there. Iam totally new to overclocking. I have an Intel Pentium 4 3.00ghz HT, Northwood core. My chipset is a intel 865PE My MOBO is a Fujitsu D1625 / Gigabyte GA-8ISXT. In BIOS there are no voltage or Advanced chipset features. There are no options in the list. Is there any way that I can overclock this??? Maybe just to 3.2ghz Or so.

I may not be able to oc your Fujitsu OEM board. But, if you want OC you have to get the "enthusiasts" mother boards. The P4 3.0 should be able to run @3.5 and above depends on how willing your chip is, and method of cooling.

So basically im screwed if i want to OC my PC then??? Is there anyway to unlock these settings on my board? Why has my boards Award BIOS not got the options in it?

Better than 90% of PC users don't OC. It's like asking you don't get a 6-speed gearbox with automatic transmission. The same reason you have R9200SE which does not do much.

Its a good idea to download and read your entire motherboard manual.

I already have downloaded it. I have read it and it doesnt seem to contain any info about Overclocking or setting anything!!!. Looks like im stuck with this clock speed and performance until i build my own with an "enthusiasts" Mobo then.
