This is an interesting topic which I've spent a lot of time researching and inspecting. The conclusion is the only way to OC those systems is by software. But the use of softwares is somewhat flawed. Let's see if someone can post up any results?

I just made a new computer(actually cuztomized it at my local PC builder) and its obviously a Conroe or Allendale whatever you wanna call it, anyways here's my specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
Intel D965LCK Motherboard
2GB 5300 DDR2 (2x1GB) RAM
320GB SATA2 Hard Drive
Antec TX1050 Chassis
16X DVD ROM
Lite-On 16X DL DVD+/-RW Lightscribe Drive
256MB PNY nVidia 7600GT Video Card
Linksys WLS G PCI Card
22-in-1 Media Reader
Hauppauge WINTV PVR150MCE
MS Windows MCE 2005

I know half the stuff on this list don't matter to any of you. But anyways, being an experieced OC'er (but never sharing it on forums) I will overclock everything and anything safely possible in my system with standard cooling (this would be a stock HSF from Intel on the E6300, and a 120mm Antec fan included in the case). I also have been fortunate to get my hands on an Asus P5B deluxe, so I will overclock on both of these mobos and share the results asap. One more thing, I will do NO HARDWARE MODS on the motherboards, just any software or BIOS application. In the end we will find out if Intel mobos really are OCable.

An update: the intel mobo is OCable, just having a little trouble with the software...

The new Dell XPS 700 comes with an unlocked bios ... but IMO if you're going to spend 3,000 dollars on a computer don't get a Dell

"According to company spokesperson Liem Nguyen, although 'Dell has unlocked the BIOS so that customers can overclock the processor themselves...at this time Dell is not factory overclocking the system.'"

I have done a lot of research on new intel mbs, but I havent noticed any good solution yet. I have a new DG965WH, similar to yours, but i think the bid difference is the native SATA and the HD sound output.
So would you like to share any info on how to oc the intel 965 mb? thx

gix330

and NoAffinity, thank you for your nice post, and i have been using clockgen for a long time, it is absolutely one of the best oc software out there. But i guess the reason many ppl still like Intel Mbs is because their quality and realiability.

And please let me know if anyone oc or know how to oc the new DG965Wh board.

I just registered to offer you guys some hope. I only read the first few posts in the thread. I bought my first pc in August 2004. It was a crappy little Compaq Presario SR1103WM. Started out as 2.53CeleronD 256mb memory 40gb hard drive. Today with only the original mobo from the Compaq it is 2.8 Prescott P4 overclocked to 3.2ghz (stable with a little help from the coolermaster jet 4). 2gb memory and 600gb via 2 hard drives. I used GlockGen. I don't want to go into the details but just play with it at your own risk if you want. It worked for me. However I do plan to move up to a dual core system at tax time.

Small note to you people that have recently posted on this thread about intel mb being OC'able.

If you haven't noticed, this thread is well over a year old. While newer intel boards & cpu's are more OC friendly, it wasn't that way in the past. Intel has actually unlocked their most expensive chips, while the middle chips have i believe the multiplier locked.

So, yes, maybe your new system can overclock, but that wasn't the case when this thread was made.

Hmmm my cousine had a e-machines ( yes i have no idea why he bought it, but hey he doesnt overclock anyways ) ... so one of the times my comp was down i desided to see what those idiots from e-machinese put in there... Got a CPU-Z and looked at the bios settings and the board... Board is some Intel and BIOS i think its written by e-machines themselfs... I think ( I might be mistaken though ) the possible solution would be flash the BIOS down the toilet ... case i know e-machines keeps it BIOS totaly locked ( del or F2 doesnt let you in )... But is there any BIOS from intel that is like "undeground"( aka written by some unofficial dude ) or Intel BIOS that is supported but still offers some options???
P.S. But anyways morale is : Don't by computers that are build for you by some idiots
P.S.2 How do you overclock through the software?
P.S.3 Off-topic => Is there possiblity to clock VGA not through software (aka keep em clocked after reboot???)??
Walk Tall everyone...
