Hi ! friend's i have an old pc my brother has given to me its cpu was intel(R) pentium 4 2.80ghz. when i look at the bios for fsb. there was no such option to increase fsb. then how can i overclock it. my bios is Phoenix Award bios v6.00pg.

Help ME :sweat:
 
You probably can't because it is a locked BIOS. If it's a PC from HP, Asus, etc. then you won't be able to overclock. Not that overclocking a P4 would help you......
