Hope this helps ... you simply need to raise your FSB ...

This should be your first stop.
HOWTO: Overclock C2Q (Quads) and C2D (Duals) - Guide v1.6.1

Next stop should be a guide for your particular motherboard. Google is your friend.

Unfortunately, I did a quick check googling "overclock dg31gl" and there doesn't seem to be a lot of information out there.

Some boards aren't meant for overclocking but should be able on third party boards like msi or Asus. As for the cpu it sually tops out between 3.2ghz and 3.8ghz. Mine only got to just under 3.6ghz.

Unfortunately, many motherboards have a locked BIOS and you just cannot change and save BIOS settings.
