hey im new to this overclocking business,what is all this multiplier and running a pencil on my cpu stuff.i want to overclock my cpu, i dont have an extra fan and i dont intend to buy one, but i want to overclock my cpu to whatever i can. its a 533 fsb, 2.4 ghz intel pentium 4. can anyone explain this to me and what all this other stuff, multiplier ect. to me? is there a way to just up the voltage and speed up the processor in the bios, or do i have to have a software proggie to do this? do i have to get inside the computer?
thanks

For oc'ing intel chips:
First read more about oc'ing cause i aint explaining everything to you..too long.First thing you want to do is turn your memory down to ddr333 unless you want to risk frying your ram, then turn the fsb up from 133 go up 1 or 2 at a time..each time you go up 1mhz fsb your cpu speed goes up and your ram speed. Then just benchmark it with 3dmark2001 every 2 fsb mhz you go up to make sure it's stable. You can keep going uup until your ram gets back to 400mhz then just turn it back down and you'll be able to keep going up. If it get's unstable turn the vcore up a bit, but i don't know how much with your cpu check it out.

vcore just gives you stability at higher speeds, and intel multipliers are factory locked and can't be unlocked...the pencil trick only works for amd cpu's. you can probably get to 3.2ghz 3.4ghz on air.

What are you talking about "you cnt really overclock a pentium processor" i'm overclocking right now with my 3.06ghz@3.6ghz and it beats almost every amd cpu. plus i can get to 4ghz if i'm lucky with prometia,when overclocked i get close to 2000 extra 3dmarks ect. not counting if i oc the video card and ram. and it's way faster booting up and load times are 1 or 2sec shorter. and INTEL has the fastest cpu you can buy right now if you can afford it 3.2ghz 800mhz fsb..but quality=$$$

Hey I got an Intel 2.4c 800fsb, an Abit IC7-G mobo and a seagate sata 120mb hdd, but when I try to overclock the CPU posts fine but the HDD doesn't get detected???? What happening? Is the SATA HDD the problem?
