How do I overclock my processor

Hey, I have an Intel Celeron processor that runs at 2.6ghz. Its manufactured by micronpc, and I have owned it for a year... this computer is still in great shape, but I really want to speed up the processor... and I'm a major noob at overclocking. I read some guides but still dont have a direct idea on how to do it.
 
You need to give us more info.

Make a signature first of all and state in there what kind on components are in it if you know.


whats your memory ? , etc, etc What is you power supply, Fans how many where ?

Stock fan and heasink on you cpu or aftermarket ? im guessing all is stock , but a guess can lead you to disater sometimes :)
 
im sorry but if you make the mistake between your monitor and processor you are not ready to overclock

All joking aside, you should research more and become more familiar with your computer (and computers in general) before you start doing anything drastic.

Intel made your processor, eMachines made your computer.

Now that that is out of the way, you must consider many things before overclocking. Like:

- Will my current cooling solution be able to handle the increased temps brought about through overclocking my cpu?
- Will my mobo even allow overclocking?
- Will the risk of voiding a warranty or possbly causing permanent damage to my computer really be worth it?

As the old adage goes, "You must learn to crawl before you learn to walk, learn to walk before you learn to run."

Start slow, don't go out of your way to screw up your only PC. Do more research, hang around the forums, & listen to those willing to help. Be careful what you post here, most of these people have been doing stuff like this for years (myself included) and will readily flame those who ask amateurish or what they may perceive as "stupid" questions.
 
I will have to agree with the post previous to mine. I came into this forum still new to overclocking and now after reading many of the articles and posts it has made me that much better at over all computing. Not just overclocking but trouble shooting and general hardware. Trust me this is a good place and if you have any questions people won't flame you because we all started off on the bottom.
 
Its all in your bios. If there is no option to change fsb in the bios, you cant overclock. Most Dells come with no overclocking abilities.

I o/c'ed the x300 on my Dell GX280 at work to 400/430(215x2), had to install an 80mm fan on top of the gpu heatsink. Runs UT2004 beautifully at 1024x768 :D

Most corporate built computers won't let you o/c b/c they simply don't equip the machine for the task, hell most barely equip the machine with any type of adequate cooling (since fans cost money and people hate noise).

find out which model emachines you have and look at this site for bios versions. odds are you wont be able to overclock. and even if you could it wouldnt be much with those boards and it wouldnt really matter because its a celeron.

Your processor you cannot overclock with most dells. Of course you can overclock your video card, that is software enabled, not hardware.
 
yes, that was the joke

I was teasing him for saying "no overclocking ability", it was a crack about specificity, or lack thereof ;)
