Resolved Unlocking Northwood Pentium 4

Lukeno1 · 2010/07/22

My P4 is currently locked and I would like to unlock it. How would I do so? And also, what would be the recommended voltage for an overclock to 2.5 GHz?

Just a couple of clarification points if necessary: the motherboard appears to support overclocking but states that the CPU Is locked in BIOS. RAM also appears to be over-clockable - but I haven't bothered as I have no idea how to do so.

A quick Google which I made at the time of your first post suggests in cannot be done, except with certain, rare CPU versions.

Oh, well then I'll have to stick with my 2 GHz P4 until I can be bothered to sort out upgrading it (if I even do bother, I need more RAM and some speakers at the very least first)
