Read these, they may help u to overclock:
1) http://www.planetamd64.com/index.php?showtopic=12066
2) http://www.techtalkz.com/tech-reference/964-amd64-overclocking-guide.html
3) http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=57148&page=1

Google and u will find more of these guides. Now if u have got a "venice" core then u are lucky. Next o'clocking also depends on ur BIOS because if it doesn't have options (for setting different parameters) then not much could be done.

^^You can't overclock with that motherboard AFAIK.

Ch@0s is right..........just read the review. Your mobo's BIOS doesn't have much option so don't think of o'clocking with this board. Read this: http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1802&page=3

yeah u can, but since the NIOS of your mobo does not support OCing, u have to use some windows program to do so, Clockgen will do, but it does not apply settings at startup, so basically u have to do it every time u restart.

But what about PCI/AGP/PCIe...locks???? And the South Bridge also.. ?? :confused:

The board does not have PCI/AGP locks... so getting it past 215MHz or so is impossible even with clockgen.
