So far as I have remember Intel motherboard was not able to do overclocking due to the BIOS has no options for changing the FSB setting.Am I got it right?
here are my settings for my e6300-
vcore 1.32v
fsb 500
mem 500 1:1
nb 1.25v
sb 1.6v
mem 2.3v
hope this is useful.

Remember to take up voltage as high as it goes, Then you need super cooling , and off you go,

No it doesn't work.
I have a similar config, same MB, same RAM amount and same CPU. The only differences are that I have 1x1GB RAM and a GeForce 7600GT video card.
Tried ClockGen, CPUFSB, SysTool and none supported this Mobo.
I found out that the PLL (Clock Generator) is IDT CV174, not totally sure about this.
Hello everyone,
I'm referring to a beta version of ClockGen from cpuid.com. ClockGen "is a program dedicated to overclocking. Its main purpose is to change the system clocks on the fly : FSB (Front Side Bus) and GSB (Graphic Side Bus). ClockGen also provides some functions that allow you to improve and monitor your overclock."
This version has not yet been officially released (and supported) by cpuid.com because development for ClockGen has been temporarily suspended.
Many thanks to Franck Delattre of www.cpuid.com for providing support for the IDT CV174C PLL. As usual, damage from overclocking your system is no one's fault but yours. So, try at your own risk, .
I was able to change the clock speed of my Pentium D 945. I'm planning to do the same on my Core 2 Duo, .
If you need support, you can try http://www.cpuid.com/clockgen.php.
These are the links to ClockGen and CPU-Z for this particular version of ClockGen:

Please remember that support for the above softwares are still limited if not available, .

I found this post in the Systool Forum. It could be the solution for mobos with clock gen chip: DT CV174C PLL

DONT DO IT.
Right when I clicked "read clocks" the system instantly froze.
I had to reset the CMOS battery to get my system running up again (tried twice).
@Darkster - What steps you take to get it working? maybe I was doing something nasty.
PS the GB mobo is excellent and not too pricey.

Thanks for the tip on the beta, credit where credit is due.Hello,
I was the one who introduced the beta ClockGen in the other thread, , and I think we've got mixed results. I was able to raise the speed of my Pentium D 945 from 3.4 to 4.0GHz. I guess C2D behaves differently, .
Thats OK, at least you could get it started
But yeah, for this cheap mobo that shouldn't even OC this is fine.
PS Look in other foras for good opinions. XtremeSystems or ExtreOverclocking will give ya a good advice.
Insect yes Ill follow your warning.. better not make things worse.

I don't know if it would be better to change RAM or the motherboard.
I'd be looking for:
GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128012
or:
OCZ Gold XTC 1024MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2205992&CatId=2259
Both are pretty much the same $$$, which would give me better OC results?
Thanks in advance.

I know it's sh*t , it was the only one in the store that supported C2D, I was limited by the bad stock they have in PC shops here. They all have the same crap everywhere and there is only one store that sells high end stuff but it's overpriced.Get the mb. Ram wont take you too far on a shi...errr...crappy mb. Course once ya get the ds3 & start oc'ing you'll probably need new mem... It's a viscous cycle for the "enthusiast".
Hi gR3iF, nice meeting you and thanks for the welcome and your help and sorry for the late reply:
In response:
1) Stock cooler
2) No cooler on my northbridge (i'll show you a picture)
3) Artic Silver 5 (put it just a few hours ago)
4) Core temps using the intel termal tool (following your suggestion)
idle:
cpu0: 40ºC
cpu1: 41ºC
on demand throttle:
cpu0: 50ºC
cpu1: 53ºC
Now: Some pictures of my bios. Sorry guys but they aren't good ones...did my best...

That would be very bad luck, haven't heard of another case...Beta clock gen fried my mobo instantly.
... does that mean my CNPS7700CU was a waste of my money?
I have an intel board with idt 174c pll. ONce my pll was selected, i tried a weak overclock (raised fsb 5 mhz) and it was ok. I continued to rasie it some more til it crashed me. (expecting this) I went to removed my bios battery to make my system bootable again. When I opened my case up i noticed a bad smell, the smell of silicon melting. I unpluged my system, and upon inspection i found a score mark on the mobo. I will not attempt to reboot, new mobo is on the way.
