Answer 1

i have the same pc as you do and i dont overclock it because first of all it needs a better power supply it aent even good enough to just run the video card and it needs a better cooling system and also i think u overclock it without going into motherboard. If you want to take the board out there is screws at each corner of the mobo but be careful u dont have static or u break something because then pc = dead :(

so, just be careful and i hope this helps also u can buy anti-static wrist bands at like electronic stores and stuff

Answer 2

You need to do research and find a motherboard made by Asus, Abit or MSI or any other major company which have overclocking abilities and uses the same exact chips, and has the same size bios. Do the research, then flash the bios with the bios from a motherboard with the same chip and same exact bios size. If you do everything carefully, and do your research everything *should* work properly and you will be able to overclock directly from the bios. I have done this
myself on a Dell 3000, I have also re written the bios in my video card. To make your computer much faster, you may want to consider getting a non integrated video card, and disabling the shared video ram, and upgrading your ram. Also one last word, your ram may not be able to handle overclocking, and your board may require additional cooling for the chips and processor. (I personally use forced air cooling)

Hope this helps!
