Hi, I need some help on finding the cpu overclocking part in the BIOS. I'm still a beginner with computers, only built my first build 2 months ago. Anyway some things people could tell me is what to increase, what to do, and where it usually is. Someone with my board or a similar one from gigabyte would be a massive help.

Find the front side bus (FSB) control and increase that. It'll be under CPU options of some sort. Increase it by 10mhz until you freeze up/can't load into windows then reduce it back to the highest stable setting, run a video game or something and see if it crashes, if not congrats you've OC'd, if not just keep backing down until it's stable.

Also, do not touch anything else in the BIOS. If your 'new to computers' i advise you only touch the CPU speed and nothing else.
