someposted this for the e6600 and ds4
Clocking
1. Make sure that you have the latest chipset drivers and flash the board to the most recent bios version
2. On the main bios screen press Ctrl+F1 to open the advanced options within the menus
3. In the Advanced Bios Features Menu, Disable all of the following: CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E), CPU Thermal Monitor 2(TM2), CPU EIST Function
4. In the PC Health Status menu, set the FAN Speed Control Method to "Legacy" & FAN Speed Control Mode to "PWM" to maintain highest speed
5. Go into the MB Intelligent Tweaker (MIT) menu at the bottom of the page, set the System voltage control to "Manual"
6. These boards have a default VDIMM of 1.8v, set the VDIMM to co-ordinate with your ram. The Geil I have is specced as 2.1v so I have mine set to +0.3v
7. Set the MCH Voltage to +0.1v
8. Set the FSB Voltage to +0.1v
9. Set the VCORE to 1.45v - Please be aware that this will increase temps!
10. Set the CPU Host Clock Control to "Enable"
11. Set the System Memory Multiplier to "2x"
12. You're set to go, just increase the System bus Frequency to Overclock
13. I would reccommend that you use Intels TAT to monitor temps

can someone post the same for the e6300 and S3 -thanks

The S3 is (apparently) just the same as the DS3 bar some different transistors and the instructions you posted above is the same process I went through for my DS3 rig.

Having said that I wouldn't use Intels TAT as it's rubbish and I think it reports "theoretical" temps as they never match the temps of any other apps at all.

Reluctantly I use the big and clunky (with Fisher Price graphics) Gigabyte Harware monitor and uninstal it once I'm done overclocking and testing.

this appears to contradict other info i have seen on here , anyone got an opinion on TAT and the gigabyte monitoring software????
