    Recently tried the ATI GPU with some pretty good success now looking to OC the CPU using SetFSB tool.
    Any Ideas?

    Need to ID the PLL in the system. Often it's near the CPU, with a crystal timing chip very close to it.

    If don't want to disassemble the system to ID it, recommend running setfsb and checking to see if the TME_Readback config register (no overclocking) is enabled as described here, if it uses a ICS family PLL (likely). If it is, as HP appear like to do with their systems, then need to hardware mod to allow setfsb overclocking as described in same link, so can decide if it's worth voiding warranty for an increase in performance.

    This Kind.
    Used the TechPowerUP GPU tool, raised the stock GPU and Memory
    I will admit I was surprised it worked.But it did!

    Third is the GPU-Z tool showing default and raised clocks.
