Hi, I have the same CPU+MOBO. In the BIOS under M.I.T go to Advanced Frequency Settings ---> Advanced CPU Core Features ---> CPU Unlock and click Enable. Hope that helps :)

woah woah woah.......... thats all????????????????? i thought to overclock you needed to turn off things like cpu spread spectrum?? and a whole bunch of other things if its this simple then wowowowow :DDDD also would it be a good idea to turn off things that are meant for power saving??? and also that thing that lowers what power the cpu takes, should i disable it???? also where could i change the cpu voltage??

thanks so much so far btw :)
