X3 720 overclocking Help

hello guys
,i am frustrated her, i need some help from you guys ,
i finally received my
phenom II 720 Black
along with
zalman 9700 led cooler
and with 2 of 4Gb(2x2) 800Mhz DDR2 G.skill memory with CL4 1.8

my problem is that i need to update my board bios so i can install the CPU , but now i can't adjust cpu
voltage any more, updating the bios removed the option from it,
i can only rise the multiplier to 16
let say it is good
now my pc is working at 16*200 = 3200mhz

i try to rise the fsb a bit say 210mhz or 220mhz
but no success , my system is not stable
i can rise the memory voltage by + 0.1 so the ram work at 1.9
but still no good
i remember when i have the 5600+ i was reaching 3250mhz by increasing the fsb to 225 without on stock voltage
this is my old G.kill rams
, know what happen
, and i almost forgot , do any one , know if i can overclock the cpu with a software, i cant use
AMD overdrive my chipset is 690G , nor i can use that Gigabyte easytune utility , which is disabled by the bios update to
any one have any idea , Thanks in Advance

I wouldn't recommend to overclock with software...Bios is better and always more stable.

What is your motherboard and bios version? There might be another bios version that supports your

processor but doesn't take the voltage option away...maybe the voltage changing option is still there but got

moved to a different place, like and advanced option page that you can access by clicking some key like F!) or

something. Some mobos have advanced options hidden on an advanced options page.

It probably won't boot because your CPU needs more voltage at that speed, and that's exactly your problem because you can't change it.

hello brainii1,
will i stopped researching about this.
somehow disappointed,
i am at 3.200, and cant go higher,
i even cant raise the memory freq even a 2 3 mhz
so i am at 16*200,
but an way ,
i still feel that the CPU at 3200 is very capable, and fast

i will be pleased if you remembered me and notified me if you get a resolution for it.
lol
same with me
thanks

So, you're saying the option itself is not in the bios? That's not good...you might need to get a different motherboard...

Well, I found a way to increase the overclocking.
Since changing voltages works from within Windows, I booted at my max limit at stock voltage (on my pc this is 3.4ghz).
as soon as windows starts up, I use EasyTune to adjust voltage to 1.4v.

This got me an extra 200 mhz at least..

I'll use this untill gigabyte decides to release a new bios, if ever.

Did you guys tell gigabyte about this? You should...if they listen...
