I have a AMD 7750 x2 cpu, with a Gigabyte GA-M61PME-S2P Motherboard, I tried to use the overclocking utility that came with my motherboard but the overclocking button is greyed out. how can i do this manually?

Tarmacian I have that exact motherboard and chip that i bought last week.
I am having the same problem. I tried downloading EasyTune5 Pro but those buttons are greyed out as well. Have you tried to change the settings in the Bios?

When i go to the Bios to try and Overclock it there the bios wont let me do it.
The settings are there but they are greyed out too.

I flashed the bios to version F2 but that didn't help.

Also on the box it says DDR2 1066, It even says DDR2 1066 on the actual board itself.
I have a pair of OCZ 2Gig 1066 Chips but when i boot it up it says:
4Gig DDR2 800 Unganged : 64Bit

I would love to get my ram to go to its intended speed of 1066 as well as do some overclocking to my system.

I sent an E-mail to Gigabyte and I'm waiting for them to reply.
I will post here as soon as i here back from them.

In the meantime please let me know if you have solved this problem.
If anybody else has any theories that could possibly help me on this i would very much appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

Don't know of any key, I have heard that there is some way to get to a submenu in bios. I am searching.

Thanks dokk2

I found it, You have to press Ctrl + F1 at the main Bios menu.

If anybody has this board with the x2 7750 Black edition, Tell me your experiences with the combination. especially if you have overclocked it.
