Look guys, i spend several long days trying to OC through BIOS,i spoke to a mod here as well as other people, but it did not work. I know how, i've done it on several different mobos, i think mine is defective. The thing is, it works fine other than this. I don't want to be computerless for several weeks to RMA it. So if you know of any software ocing solutions (i only want to hit 3.0ghz) then please let me know.
