Ok... I am a new member to this forum, don't know too much about it but it seems pretty cool. Anyway, I am really sick and fed up about this motherboards BIOS. I cannot find anywhere in there where to overclock the damn CPU. I've been to alot of forums and none have been help. I need help on finding where it is in this BIOS and how etc etc. If anyone...i mean anyone can help me, eg write a short guide how to in this BIOS or just tell me where it is... you would be a massive stress reliever..

Thanks,
please help.

hey cody, fill in your computer specs in the user cp on the top of the screen when you get a chance, it will help when answering your questions. do you have the p35-ds3l board?

edit: if so there is a thread dedicated to that board!

Ctrl+F1 = memory not CPU

it should be in the M.I.T section then just set it to manual not auto and raise the FSB a bit

Where is this thread about the board?

codymackay

On my BIOS in M.I.T section there isn't a FSB thing there is only the clock ratio(multiplier) and a thing saying CPU host clock frequency would that be it? but if it is it wouldn't make sense cos its set to 200mhz.

That should be it, to figure the total CPU speed, take the FSB or CPU host clock frequency in your case and multiply it by the clock ratio. Up the CPU host clock frequency and the overall speed of you CPU should go up.

There's a thread based on this board with over 100 pages of people that can help. They helped me learn to OC my CPU in less than 5 minutes.

Also this is one of the best boards to use for OCing, especially for it's price.

I hope your right tensionz. And also if the CPU host clock frequency is the one to OC, why is it set to 200mhz when it is meant to be 333? because the multiplier is set at 8x, can't get it any higher and 200x8= 1600? 1.6ghz? its meant to be a 2.66ghz cpu..so i'm scratching my head.
