ok, here's the deal... I've been wanting to do some oc'ing lately on my cpu, and ive researched it a bunch to make sure I wouldnt end up burning up my chip, in fact, i only want to speed it up bye .2 ghz... I have a P4 3.0C ghz processor... its well known that the multiplier on intels have been locked for some time now, and that all oc'ing has got to be done via the fsb. This is where im having problems...
My motherboard is a Gigabyte 8knxp Rev 1, and I havent had a problem with it yet... but when i went into bios and to where the fsb should be... it wasnt there... i called up tech support, and the guy who answered understood me as well as i could understand him, which was not at all... he told me that my processor's fsb was locked. Is that even possible??? i cant find anyone else whos ever had that problem before... and if this guy is wrong, how the hell should i go about changing the fsb?? Any and all feedback would be appreciated. Just got frustrated to the point I figured id ask the posse... thanks.
