Software overclocking

Hye guys, i have a Dell 690 workstation with 2x xeon 2.66ghz chips, and obviously in bios it has no overclocking options, so i was wondering if anyone know a program that would let me software overclock it through windows?

Thx.

Re: Software overclocking

It's a Dell, so it's pretty much locked.

Unless you can find an alternate BIOS for your MB, you won't find anything else that will let you adjust voltage/timings.

Re: Software overclocking

What about ClockGen or SetFSB? One of them might work.

Re: Software overclocking

I tried ClockGen... No luck.
I'm not sure which SetFSB to use, and I'm not sure if I want to try it.
