    SOME motherboard's will have the ability to O/C by either jumper settings or within the bios.

    You're welcome. What system do you have or are looking to acquire that will have the ability to O/C?

    Like I mentioned earlier, the board should have that ability in it's bios. Have you read any manual on this board to verify it's ability? That’s where you’ll find the how to’s. I use Asus boards for the most part and they are extremely easy to setup for O/C.
