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. Wink

Specs; && Intel® Core™ 2 Quad-Core™ Processor Q6600, && 3072MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM ,19" Silver Wide Flat Panel, && 256MB ATI® Radeon™ HD 2600 XT graphics card, 500GB Hardrive & Windows Vista Premium&&

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.....
