overclock Dell E520?

[cabbie19]

Hi all, probably a stupid question, but i'll ask it anyway.........
I have a Dell E520 with the non replaceable "BTX" board, i have just replaced the old D925 cpu with a Q6600 and upgraded the Ram to 2x2Gb Geil 800Mhz pc6400.
Is there a way to "unlock" the motherboard to allow any kind of overclocking?
Thanks in advance for any replies, even if just to tell me i'm barking up the wrong tree

I think that would require support in the BIOS, which seems unlikely on a Dell PC.

Thanks for the reply, i thought that would be the answer, but if i had any hope of finding a way i figured this was the best place to ask

Sorry cabbie19, proprietary machines like Dell's are infamous for having no sense of humor at all. Sounds like you can build your own machine in the future. Yay!

I've heard that the E520 uses a SLG505YC56DT clock generator chip, so it may be possible to reprogram the registers to increase the clock speed. Effectively it'd be a soft mod using something like SetFSB. At least that way if you clock it too hard, you only need to reset to get back to normal!
