ASUS K8N-E Deluxe BIOS overclocking

I just bought this board a week ago, and after installing the XP-120 HS last night, I wanna finally start OC'ing it. However, maybe I'm just dumb, but I can't for the life of me find the real OC'ing options in the BIOS.

I go to advanced, then chipset. Here is a link:

I can find the menu that is shown on the first BIOS pic. But I can't seem to find the settings that appear on the second BIOS pic.

Anybody else have this mobo and mind pointing out where I could find the settings shown on the second pic?

Much appreciated.
 
First of all, you have to upgrade your bios to 1005. Use the Asus Update program from your motherboard cd. Then, you go to the Advanced tab, and enter the section callled free jumper settings or something like that. I'll clarify once I get home. You won't be able to overclock much with the K8N-E Deluxe, especially with an SATA drive.
 
Ah k, I just updated to 1005 this morning. Going to free jumper settings didn't cross my mind though.

I'm not looking to kill it with overclocking. Just looking for a moderate increase, maybe take it to the equivalent of a 3200+ or something.

And I don't have SATA drives unfortunately, still stuck with two IDE drives, since I bought them some time before getting this board. Awesome hard drives though 🙂
 
That's good, because you'll get a much better overclock with IDEs, since SATA 3-6 are not using the Nvidia chipset. 10x271 is the highest they achieved with exotic cooling, so I'd try 10x250 at max ram voltage(either 2.7 or 2.8 depending on which revision you have). Run memtest86 to assure that it is stable. Please post your results, as I am thinking about getting IDEs this weekend.

Edit: Wait, you have PC2700 ram, I'm not sure how that will affect you. I'd suggest a divider, 333Mhz or so.
