Hey, I've got a Dell Optiplex GX240 system. The processor is 1.8 ghz I believe. Can I overclock this? If so, how do I do it and what will I need to add in terms of cooling?
I'd suggest not over clocking...but if you do you'll more than likely need a better hs/fan depends on your temps now and probably need a better ps and maybe more case fans. Here's the google search results it showed a few hits for overclocking dell's the second is the search for oc'ing dell optiplex. Searching Google is always the best place to srart
i wouldn't be supprised if that pc doesn't even have a fan on the heat sink . but unless you can change the fsb on the motherboard in the bios , not sure you are given that option on a dell , you can't overclock .
I have looked in my system and I dont see any place where I can add fans. Are those hard drive fan things any good? Also, should I try upping the FSB or is it too risky with just 2 fans and a heatsink as cooling?
