Overclocking CPU on a MSI 0a90
I don't have options in the BIOS to increase the FSB or change the CPU multiplier.
I am unable to install the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, I get the error "cannot install on unsupported platform"
Is it possible to overclock my Petium Dual Core e2160 1.8Ghz up to 2.4Ghz on this board? I did notice the BIOS chip is removable with a chip puller.
I'm interested in doing this so I can run some "CPU" instensive games at better frame rates, like Java based Minecraft and Project Zomboid, as well as Terraria. I recently overclocked an AMD c-50 with Radeon HD6250 chip set based laptop from 1Ghz to 2.6Ghz, and the performance gain was incredible across those 3 games. It used to average roughly 20 fps at the lowest settings, and now I can run the games at the same settings in the mid 40 fps mark at 1280x768. I also undervolted the base 1.2 volts to 1 volt, and the power supply no longer gets hot. I have no battery for the laptop. HP/Comquack CQ57 for anyone curious. [EDIT] The base voltage is 1.3 volts.
My computer specs are listed also.
