Somewhere on teh intarweb "Scotty Davis" typed:
Hi, I just built a system using an Asus PK5-VM motherboard and an
E2180 cpu. I have a Thermaltake fan and heatsink and 2 case fans in
the case. I'm relatively new at overclocking.


What can I reasonably expect to push this thing to without better
cooling? I'm not looking for anything too grand, I'd just like to game
at a higher level. I'd like to get 3.0 out of it if possible.

What should I set the bios settings at?

FBS?
Ratio?
Voltage?

Thanks.

Are those settings available in the BIOS?

I always believed that the -VM series of Asus motherboards were
business-oriented/low-end market and had virtually no overclocking
options.

Cheers,

I have a "-VM" series board (M2NPV-VM). It has full overclocking
capabilities. CPU frequency, multiplier, voltage, or OC steps
(5%-10%-etc.), FSB, memory voltage and so on. I don't see any
"business-oriented/low-end market" characteristics you speak of.
