I highly doubt your ibm has overclocking abilities, not so much that it would burn up or anything, but the bios dosen’t have the overclocking software in it.

Woah! I just woke up ~10 minutes ago, gave the compressor some time to drop temps, and I am told I’m on hackaday, this is going to be a good day. I am posting more results today from my bench run last night, I hit 3.0GHz at nearly stock volts, but it wasn’t windows stable, more tweaking incoming. Thanks posting about me Paul.
