I have a Dell Dimension 8100 series comp. I just bought two months ago. It has an i850 socket-423 Pentium 4 chipset, @ 1.5Ghz. Right now my clock multiplier is 15, my system clock is @ 100Mhz, and my FSB is @ 400Mhz......... indicated by WCPUID. It has a Dell mother board. I took the casing off and started to look around. Everything was pretty self-explanatory except for a couple things. I located the jumper pin section of my mother board and saw three things: One pair of pins labeled "PSWD", above this, two more sections of pins...... one pair labeled "Aux_Led", and to the right of this, a section labeled "RTCRST". Now, I have a pretty good idea about what these do, RTCRST, resets your real-time clock, I believe, PSWD, clears or resets your bootup or bios pswd, and AUX_LED I think does something with your auxillary. So, what I was wanting to do was overclock my cpu-clock frequency from 1.5Ghz to 1.7Ghz. I have the cooling down with four monster cooling fans, so this should easily be achieved. Anyway, my problem is that I only see one plastic amp which originally, by default, resides on the "PSWD" jumper pins. My questions are: In order to overclock my cpu-clock frequency, do I need to focus on the RTCRST only, or do I need to Focus on the RTCRST and another jumper group of pins such as the PSWD ?? My second question is, do I need to obtain more amp caps to make this happen ?? My last question is, should I jump the pins with the power on, but not the computer's power, or do I need to have all the power to the system cut off, and then after I am done, power on the pc ??
PS - Never tried to overlock my pc before, so please don't think that I am an idiot. If anyone can help me with the actual physical jumping of the pins, and where to do this, I would very much appreciate it. Right now, I am pretty mixed up with the different ways you can place the amps onto the jumper pins.
