cannot find overclocking options in bios

[Jeddy]

Hi guys, i just recently installed my new mobo, a Gigabyte GA-Q35M-S2 mobo, as i am planning to downsize to matx for lan partys. I picked the mobo because it has a q-series bearlake chip (i believe this it a p35?). I have looked around the bios, and I cannot find anything to adjust memory timings or my cpu clock speed. I have tried every menu, tried the ctrl+F1 to find hidden menus with no luck. Any ideas? I prefer to overclock via the bios, rather than use sometihng like ntune. But i feel ntune may be my only option

press a combo Ctrl + F1

tried that, brought up adjustments for memory timings, that was all. I am annoyed that that was all considering you can adjust vcore, but not the FSB!

Looks like imma sell the mobo and go with the asus offering, the one that actually does what i wanted!

After upgrade BIOS version with Gigabyte @BIOS utility press Ctlr+F1 at BIOS main menu to unlock all hidden options.

The specs / bios and manual etc. are available at

http://www.giga-byte.co.uk/Support/Motherboard/Manual_Model.aspx?ProductID=2728

The manual section 2-9 [page49] for the MIT functions cover the fact that if your cpu isn't unlocked, the cpu overclocking feature won't appear.

Yeah the Q35 boards are more meant for Business PCs so don't have all the Bios options, I believe thats why its Q35 not G35 in the name.
