Overclocking ASRock Motherboard

[Mr.Jimbo]

Evenin' all (the PH computer collective)

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about "view only item" issues on ASRock motherboards? Just trying to show my Dad some basic overclocking of the CPU (its very simple on my Asus) and when trying to change BIOS entries, we are met with "View Only Item" being displayed, and no way of changing it from this state.

The 'Board in question is a 4 Core 1600-GLAN, and the processor is a Q8300 running at stock speeds (for the moment)

Just wanted to see if any of you have any experience with this, tried the user manual, searching on google, all to no avail, apparently the Q8300 can be clocked quite well, which we shall hopefully soon see!

Many thanks in advance

Have you got an advanced menu or advanced/performance settings as you scroll down the menu? can't be more help as i have have never had an Asrock board,have you tried to look for a Asrock support forum? try this http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=418435

Couldn't see one, looked all over the Bios for anything, but no joy.

Just thought it might be worth seeing if any ASRock fans were about! I'll try putting a post on that forum and see where we get to, cheers for the link
