Hello everyone! I am new to these forums, so I apologize in advance if this thread is in the wrong place.

I have a PCWINMAX HM55 Motherboard, attached to this post is what it looks like. I bought it with the intent of overclocking some Arrandale/Clarksfield CPUs, but the BIOS has no options for adjusting the speed or voltages of the CPU. I have tried XTU, setFSB, and many other programs, and none of them work.

I tried to see if the settings were hidden in the BIOS, so I saved a copy of the BIOS and viewed it in AMIBCP but nothing is hidden. 

Recently, I came across another post here with someone talking about an H55 board, that looks nearly identical to my HM55 board (besides the socket of course,) and they had modified the BIOS to unlock all of the overclocking options. My point being that his unlocked H55 BIOS is VERY similar to my HM55 BIOS.

Now, I know that flashing the H55 BIOS on my HM55 board won't work, but how hard would it be to adjust the unlocked H55 BIOS in order to be able to use it on my HM55 board at all (if that is even possible.)

I appreciate any help that I can get, and I again apologize if this thread is in the wrong category. Thank you.

Attached to this post is my HM55 BIOS, the unlocked H55 BIOS, and a picture of the HM55 and H55 boards.

Hello, I am new to the forum. Regarding your board, I have one the same as yours, as far as I've checked, and due to the use of laptop cpu's, I don't think it has overclock support. I'm using it with an i7 720qm and it doesn't go above 1.6 ghz. Also what I have noticed is that it does not have turbo boost enabled and I would like to know if someone could enable that feature. good day.
P.D: sorry if the text is not well understood. I ended up using a translfsdfsdf{.ñkñlsdflkjgfd
