how do you overclock a P4 2.4 533 FSB/Intel 850E?

[magnusen]

i was wanting to overclock my P4 2.4 / 533 FSB Intel 850E pc and videocard. The video card is a snap but i can't find any guide to overcock the chipset safely. HELP!

Depending on the motherboard and RAM you have, you can increase the FSB of either or both to get more performance.
There isn't really any one difinitive guide to overclocking.
Plenty of threads to read if you do a search.
Start here maybe :thread602-516687 Cheers,

has anyone been able to overclock a dell w/ a p4 processor? the bios seems to be locked.. is there anyway to override this or a hardware solution?

Dells are pains to OC, and when you OC a P4, you'd want to make certain that the fan/heatsink is the best out there. That's true for any OCing. I, personally, don't OC because it shortens the life of the processor, and I usually end up running computers into the ground. Just some thoughts.

Just to clarify, overclocking does NOT create that much more heat, and any stock hs/fan setup will work.
Increasing core voltage to get a stable overclock WILL increase heat dramatically. Cheers,

There is no safe way to overclock but the risk isn't very big. Mind you with processor speeds today and the cost difference it's hardly worthwhile.

I used to Overclock my machines but you end up having so much hassle ove the things you just cant be bothered in the end.

Your milage may vary though
