gabeoravitz Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 i am doubting it, but does anyone know a way to overclock a Dimension E520? Dell's stupid BIOS is worthless. thought maybe there was an app somewhere. i managed to get all hardware working in OS X, just wanted to push it a little more. i've heard good things about overclocked core 2 duos. thanks!

aquanutz Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 The bad thing is that you won't be able to with Dell's crippled BIOS. Look into what exact board it is and see if there is a flash for a different bios to it. That's the only thing I can think of. And yes, these chips OC like none-other, I love them.

vbetts Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 It's not just the bios....But, you honestly don't have the fastest ram for overclocking....You'd only get maybe 200-300 mhz per core out of it stable, even more on stock cooling.
