i`ve bought this mobo 3 months already and still can`t overclock! i`m a noob here.  so what bothering me till today is the bios setting. whenever i change the cpu ratio, and htlink, it seems that it don`t change at all (not execute the changes when reboot). then i flash bios to the latest version (F8), i thought all the problems solved. but just now i`ve tried to change the settings. cpu ratio and cpu speed seems going fine but now the problem is htlink. i changed htlink settings from auto to 3x and then reboot.. check with cpuz in winxp and nothings happen. it still shows the default. should it be 1000MHz or something when in default settings rite? correct me if i`m wrong. then what is the problem exactly? thanks.. SOLUTION : flash your bios to the lastest (F10) version. get it from hereThis post has been edited by serez: May 28 2007, 05:32 PM

I having the same mobo with u and having the same problem as you. I already feedback to Giga Techical Support. Hope they will fix the htlink multi soon. Now running at 2240 (224x10) and htlink multi i use ntune to set. This is the only way i can do  And i found out that using ntune to oc will make ur pci fre goes up as well

Press Ctrl + F1 in the bios menu to unlock additional features like memory timings etc. I've tried M55S-S3 which i believed should be more or less the same with SLI-S4....
