Hey
I cant seem to change any of my cpu clocks or multipliers in my motherboard BIOS - all of the fields are grey in colour and cant be chnaged - is there any other way of overclocking my system (in sig) a program or a patch or something ? Thanks
 
Is this a system built by a larger manufacturer, or any for that matter. Like dell or gateway. If so, they lock their BIOS so you are unable to tweak it to get more performance. They would rather you buy up then tweak it up. Lame huh?
 
No its not i bought all parts separate and built myself, although it does seem as if asus have locked it - is there no way past this at all?
 
Make a list of all the options you have so we know what you are looking at. Sometimes you have to Enable one thing for you to get access to a bunch of others. Or take something off Auto.
 
His motherboard simply does not allow overclocking. The 'VM' stands for value motherboard. You get what you pay for.

The manual says you can increase FSB, but this is an error on Asus' part.

You can overclock in Windows, I guess. Depends how far you can increase the FSB before the motherboard becomes unstable (which may not be far at all).
 
your probably right, but thats no reason for a tried and true tweaker to stop tweakin ;)

(plz try to say that five times fast. really do it. i just tried its kinda hard...) the last part. tried and true tweaker to stop tweakin
 
Usually when they are grayed out there is an option either in the same menu, or on a different menu, which will let you change the CPU from "auto" to "manual".

The multiplier is not locked for all Intel CPUs. I have an E6600 and can change it from 6x-9x.

It is only unlocked on the X6800 and the QX6800 atm.. You can change yours from 6-9x because they are the processor parameters, meaning the highest and lowest mulitpliers you can set on the processor. It is still locked in terms of increasing your multiplier past the 9x which is stock.
