yep most oem manufactures lock so no oc.
dont know bout the power supply issue but i would assume it would work.
Hey All,
So I am sold on a 6600GT PCI-E for the T6212 but I keep reading about the power requirements and am worried the stock psu will just not work out.
Is anyone out there currently using a T6212 with a 6600GT PCI-E or 6800 whichever since they both need a lot of power, as I understand it.
If so, have you replaced the power supply and if you did what did you put in it? I understand also since it's Emachines it (the psu) may be a irregular size but it would be nice to hear from someone who has replaced one for more information about upgrading it.
Lastly, is it true that the BIOS is locked (and can never be upgraded) by Emachines so you cannot overclock any components, besides the grfx card of course since software in Windows seems to handle it. So you can't even set the voltage for your ram or anything. I hope that's not true.
Thanks,
