I've recently built my media centre using this board and a E2160. Now as everyone knows this chip is a overclockers dream.

Now I seem to be stuck at 2.25ghz for this chip and i so wanna reach 3.0ghz which i know should be possible, but the issue i seem to be having is that I cant find anywhere in the Bios to be able to up the volts.

Memory is 2 X Arianet 1GB PC2-5300 DDR2 667 SDRAM, which i have left running at 667 at the moment.

Has anyone had any experiance of this board and altering the volts?

Most gigabyte boards have a hidden menu in the bios. It's either Shift+F1 or Ctrl+F1.

Yeah it's ctrl & F1 but doesnt allow me to alter the volts. :(

had to do a bios update for it to allow me to even change the fsb as the chip wasnt supported on the original bios.

Moving back on topic... :p

I'd be tempted to say that the 965GM-S2 simply doesn't have a complete overclocking feature set. At least on a 800FSB Northbridge Strap, I wouldn't expect a G965 board to go too far. All I can possibly suggest if you're unable to change voltage settings at all is to drop your Memory Multi to 2.0x in order to prevent it from holding your overclock back and overclock in increments of 5-10MHz.
