I've decided to overclock my system, it is now running at 2.90GHz and its a 2.40GHz CPU, and my Ram is now 326, now i'm going to buy new RAM soon some 266MHz (PC 2100), now will i have to underclock when i install this new RAM, what i mean is that my old RAM will be 326MHz but my new will be 266MHz, so when i install it, Will it automatically change its frequency to 326MHz?
How to change system overclocking ?
 Hi Srishan,
                        It is very strong issue for every PC user. However I have given a solution that would be helpful for you.
• First you have to find out that your motherboard can be adjusted in the BIOS setup.
• You need to figure out clock speed limitation of your motherboard.
• If you have any diagnostic software then runs it.
• You need to get a full back up of your system and documents.
• You have to make changes your motherboard settings if your motherboard is adjusted to BIOS.
• Then you have to shut down your computer.
• Now Disconnect all peripheral device from your computer.
• Then you have to remove your CPU chassis.
• If the motherboard is adjusted with jumper then you need to locate jumpers which control the CPU speed.
• Then you have to install a CPU heat link if it matches with your CPU.
• Then reboot your computer.
I hope it will resolve your issue.
How to change system overclocking ?
The first thing to know when you start the process of overclocking, is whether your processor is multiplier locked or unlocked. To check whether your CPU is locked, lower your multiplier via the BIOS one step, for example from 11 to 10.5. Save and exit your BIOS and your computer will restart. If your computer posts again and shows the new CPU speed, it means your CPU is unlocked. However, if your computer failed to post (screen remains black) or no CPU speed change is present, this means your multiplier is locked.
