Acer M3201 with R01-B3 bios

I see. Oops, sorry.
What now? lol.
I'm sorry, I'm new to the bios-editing part of computers lol.

My CPU is bottlenecking my GPU, and there hasn't been any new posts on this topic. What happens now?

No signs of core unlocking (as expected). But no signs of FSB changing too, unfortunately. I'll have a closer look - maybe they've cut it deeper than expected. Though, timings, multipliers and dividers might be unlocked. Not an easy task but it's real.

That's what you have. You can overclock using AMD overdrive. But if you need other stuff than FSB frequency - ask, I'll have try to add it.

The thing is, when I run overdrive, the overclock sliders are locked. That really confused me for a while.
I'm sorry for all the hassle, I sure as [censored] won't be buying another prebuilt computer in my life lol.

Does the R01-C0 bios have any more options? It's the newest version that supports my motherboard.

What's the chipset? Maybe (if it's NVIDIA) use nTune (now - the nvidia system tools) or SetFSB - if it's the other way around.

Yes, that's what prebuilt PCs are... I'll check but usually the earlier BIOS is more likely to have - afterwards item are being cut out version after version.

Alright. My mobo PLL (I think that's the right word) isn't in SetFSB's list. All bar 3 of the existing ones throw up PLL errors. By using common sense, I don't think the 3 that don't error would be safe for me to use. Am I right?
