hey thanks, is it possible to overclock the CPU on it? probably not because Dell locked it but is there a modded BIOS that can let me overclock it? i just replaced the Celeron 2GHz with a 2.4GHz P4 [SL6GS,] aslo. any help would be great! thanks!!!
yes, they do run hot, but I think I have it cooled good enough, its 35C idle and about 45C under load. (and thats without any device such as a cooling pad with fans.)
I would still like to try to overclock it, if possible. I have a temp gauge on it and I can tell if it gets too hot. [i.e. getting above 45C idle]. I replaced the thermal paste on the CPU also.
I know how to overclock things, too. I have my desktop CPU P4 2GHz running at a stable 2.5GHz with an idle temp of 27C and a load temp of around 35C [with stock heatsink & fan].

Hi,
There is no connection on the MBD for it.

Hi,
These ran hot enough as is. I would be most reluctant to make it run hotter.

Please tell me if you can overclock it. Thanks!
