Hello im trying to atleast overclock my asus board...

http://usa.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5G41TM_LX_PLUS/


I know it will not overclock much..but im trying to see how much i can.

Only thing is i can not find a clock multiplier option anywhere..

Ive read a few guides and was going to try myself but i cant find the thing..

I dont know maybe this bios does not have the option...

Anything you guys can help with would be great. :bounce:

ratio cmow setting is set to auto.. i can not change it to anything else.
Above it says ratio cmos unlocked 6min---8max

You'll need to use raise the Front Side Bus frequency to overclock your cpu with that Motherboard, unless you have an Extreme Edition CPU, which I doubt.

Overclocking via FSB will be limited by your RAM, but RAM limitations can be overcame by lowering the CPU/DRAM ratio if your motherboard has that option in the bios. you will also need to manually set your PCI-E frequency to 100 manually as well to prevent issues with the video card.
