HP Pavilion 23-b034
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello! I am really looking forward to overclock my RAM speeds and to do that, I must enter the BIOS. I have looked up tutorials but no success. I have an HP Pavilion 23-b034 Desktop PC (All-in-One) and here's my PC specs (according to CPU-Z):

  • AMD A6-5400K APU (Overclocked to 4.3 GHz)
  • Pegatron Corp. 2AEE Motherboard (Chipset: AMD K15 IMC)
  • RAM Slot #1: DDR3-2GB PC3-12800 (800 MHz)
  • RAM Slot #2: DDR3-4GB PC3-12800 (800 MHz)

 

I want to overclock my RAM to 1,000+ MHz but I tried entering the BIOS by:

Start -> Settings -> Update & Security -> Recovery -> Advanced startup (Restart now) -> Troubleshoot -> Advanced options -> UEFI Firmware Settings -> Restart -> Computer Setup -> ???

 

I don't know where to go from here, I have 5 tabs, File, Storage, Security, Power and Advanced. I checked under Advanced and it has Power-On Options, BIOS Power-On, Bus Options and Device Options. I am stuck and I am not really sure if this even IS BIOS. Here's photos of all the tabs and where I am:

Power: http://www.imgur.com/e8CVi5p

Advanced: http://www.imgur.com/9n13tY0

How do I successfuly enter BIOS and access my memory configuration/speeds?

Hello @JacobGunther12,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.

 

I understand that you are having an issue with entering the BIOS.  I see that you would like to overclock you Memory Modules.

 

The pictures you provided, do indeed show that you are in the BIOS.  It is much safer, and easier to replace the Memory Modules with larger memory, then overclocking them.  However, you can review the resource here for more information about overclocking the memory: 

Overclock Your CPU, GPU, and RAM (Not an HP supported Web site).

Thank you for your support! I will read the article/link you posted on your post. I don't intend to upgrade my Memory Modules just because I don't have the money to do anything like that. Thanks for the suggestion though.
