So I bought a refurbished HP compaq 8200 at a closing sale ohh.. 3 years ago. It was cheap and I needed a pc. Well recently found out that the processor in it can't really be over clocked because it's not the i5 2400k, not a big deal i said. It can still be played with a bit past the turbo! And I can just through a a 2600 or 2700k in there and be good. WELL HP a d the H67 chipset/board are so Bios Locked down that even if I wanted to I can't adjust Fan speeds a d not much better once opened up to the advanced. Yaaa!!!! I

I was hoping that after nearly 2 decades of it being out that's someone would have a viable work around. I have the I belive latest BIOS from 2018 but it's legacy. There's 16gb ddr3 and Nvidia gt 1030, and I'm not concerned about the risk of burning this thing out to do it.

I have yhe intel utility whatever it's called. As well but it's only showing 3 active cores. Even when under like an 80% capacity, I've seen it show 4 Cores maybe twice, three times.
