I will realy thank you if you reply / help me!
I wish you could help me!

Lowfat

I am doubting that you can even overclock with that board. That chipset has no PCI/AGP locks.

best point to start is pushing the FSB up until it becomes unstable in small increments...

but i doubt you'll get beyond 183fsb... just make sure your cpu doens't run aboe 60*C imo

Hmm, the point is that my CPU is already running at 65° . Would it be better if I buy another CPU?
