How do you overclock a hp pavillion cpu?

And i was about to recommend you a pinmod...

Your current BUS speed is 266.
The FSB is 4 times the BUS speed, 1066 in your case.
The processor has a multiplier, locked in most cpu's, unlocked in Intel Extreme and AMD Black Edition and FX.
The final processor speed is BUS x Multiplier, by doing simple math: 2.400 / 266 = 9, we get that you have x9 multiplier.Ã§

There are two ways of overclocking, one is increasing multiplier (safer and easier) other is raising fsb (affects the whole socket and RAM).

Does your BIOS allow you to change the BUS speed?

the slowdowns...and not being able to run dolphin completely at 100% of what it is possible to run at..

no it doesnt...its all locked out

id rather increase the multiplier

Then you're out of luck, even if you manage to sort all the trouble to overclock that cpu (up to 2.8 3.0 stable, i doubt it reaches more without going boom) you would get a 15% boost in the fps. Not good if you were already getting less than 40 in some games.

EDIT: The forum is quite quiet at the moment... would the fact of kids still being at school explain this?

no way im less than 40%...lol i run most games at about 60% and sometimes 100% with others...its just big rooms tht funk up dolphin for me...mp1&2 are perfectly playable at about 75% at most times.

thts all without frameskip and watchdog.

So does that mean all Hp Pavillion's cannot be overclocked?

I've got a Dv5-1007Tx with a Core 2 Duo T9400 @ 2.53 Ghz.

Dunno, you can try, or at least take a look at the bios.

i read online tht hp pavillion completely locks you out of it and so do some other types of computers...its really dumb

Unless you get an HP Pavilion with Intel Core 2 Extreme, those have unlocked multiplier... but that will cost you...
Well, see for yourself.
