I have found a couple of tutorials on youtube showing how to overclock this E2160 from its 1.8Ghz to 3.3Ghz+ I am getting my E8500 CPU next week. If anyone has any tutorial or can provide me with what programs that can be used to overclock I would greatly appreciate it. I have also heard of people overclocking just by changing some options in BIOS. Thanks so much and am looking forward to your responses.

you overclock via the bios, not through software.
to do so, for this one you would up the bus speed and core voltages, as well as the multiplier if it is unlocked (multiplier only and do not touch the bus speed if it is unlocked. You won't really get much out of it, and i don't recommend overclocking these products. if you screw up, you may not only destroy the cpu, but you may fry your motherboard socket as well.

Ok I tried going into my BIOS and all the options to overclock are grayed out and can't be chosen. My mobo is the MCP73M02H1. Any idea what's going on or am I unable to overclock with this mobo?
