I purchased a used HP computer with specifications below. I plan to moderately overclock it. I haven’t located the appropriate mainboard manual.
Thank you

The motherboard's BIOS doesn't allow overclocking.
The next best choice is software-based overclocking.

Could the manual not be located for the motherboard (HP Compaq 6005 PRO MT AMD Phenom II X4 B95 MOBO 531966-001)? Is it possible to modify the BIOS or flash it for overclocking? Thank you

BIOS 786G2 Ver. 1.09 (update Rev. 1.17) is this HP BIOS? Is there another version that supports BIOS overclocking?
Thank you

Regarding the extent of overclocking with extra cooling, it's recommended to proceed cautiously. For the P.S., which is 320 watts with special connections, a 400-watt upgrade would seem appropriate. Please let me know the amount and make it clear. Thank You
