Hello!
I'm getting a new PC next month and planning to overclock my current one, which is an HP Compacte with an MSI 0A90 motherboard, 4 GB RAM, and a Pentium E2140 processor. I've found it's a good overclocker. I've tried software overclocking tools, but the BIOS isn't working well. I know you're going to advise against it, but I don't want my next build to be my first one.
Thanks!

First of all, prebuilts typically rely on system-specific motherboards and BIOS's, which greatly reduces your chances of successfully overclocking. If you try to enter the BIOS and don't find any CPU or northbridge frequency controls, you're likely in trouble. BIOS modifications might be your best option, but I won't even get into that here.
