Hello,

I'm trying to overclock this board. I went into the BIOS, and the FSB increases from 100,133 and 166. Right now my boardis at 133. I do not want to take the risk of escalating it to 166, so I wondering if I could free up the FSB to increase it in incredments of (1)one? Could I clear the CMOS jumper on the motherboard? I heard these motherboards are not particularly good overclockers, but I was wondering if anyone has had success in overclocking this board?

Thanks

With the cheepoman bios, I was only able to run mine stable at 143/143, and some folks have run their's at 150/150. It's a slow chipset even when overclocked. If you want more performance, I suggest an nforce2 board (new or refurbished). Newegg had some refurbs for about $35 shipped the other day.
