Gonna be interesting reseting CMOS when your overclock fails then...

open it anyway and install a watercooler. i heard that a nice cheap alternative to more expensive watercooling systems is just to dump a bottle of water inside the case.

Also, looks like Bios OC'ing is out of the question, my brother says

No BIOS OC'ing = No OC'ing at all.

Ya, most OEMs lock the BIOS straight out unless its a gameing machine.
There is that one desktop overclocker Intel came out with, but I think its still in beta.
You probably won't be able to touch it.

It is only for intel mobos, does not support any subvendor made mobos, regardless if the chipset is intel.

There are lots of OC software, but they are not worth even trying. BIOS OC or no OC.

We still need the full system specs.

Always post the full system specs.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Those aren't your full system specs.

But don't bother, we've already answered your question.

What else do you need to know? They're the main component parts.

I still kinda need help with the whole RAM thing.

The RAM only runs at the speed of the slowest stick. If you have 1 DDR333 stick and 3 DDR400 sticks, all of it runs at DDR333.

If you put a CPU, some RAM, and a graphics card on a table, would it be a computer?
