Hey People!!!
I've done some overclocking in my life, but never have I battled so hard to overclock a PC with an Intel mobo! I have an Intel D945GPM mobo with latest version of the BIOS, but the overclocking capabilities are extremely limited. What "clock generator" can I use in SysTool to have more control?
Please Help!

Clockgen is an ok program, better than most, but I "HIGHLY" recomend not overclocking with a program in windowns, it alot less unstable, and way more prone to damageing hardware. I would invest in a new mobo if you have the money!

Yeah no prob, thats why where hear, If you could give a list of your system specs, then other people as well could suggest motherboards.

I went through the same thing :) In your account settings, click on system specs and look at the very top, there is a yes/no drop list for displaying the info publicly. Hope that helps - Sasqui.

The ITK?

Hey,

Maybe you want to chck out the thread at XTremeSystems about the ITK. I've downloaded it, but I haven't used it yet--they at least allow you to change your FSB and processor multipliers for the D945GPM board.

See:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=96648

Looking to me like a lot of the options shown there are not available for the D945GPM, but hopefully we can get somewhere. If anybody tries this with the D945GPM, please let me know what works!

I'm personally running a D 930.

Thanks!

Thanks for all your support guys! But I've solved the problem by replacing the CRAP integrated so called "Palm Canyon" board with a Gigabyte GA-8I945P-PRO and I'm currently overclocking my Intel P4 D805 2.66GHz, to a RUMBLING 3.8GHz. And it is running at a constant temperature of 41 degrees. This is a 43% overclock, and the machine is running smooth and stable.
I did some further research and found that ALL (except the "Bad Axe") the Intel mobo's can't be used for overclocking.

Att: bencip19! The D 930 is a SWEEEET CPU, but I would've bought the 940 if I were you, better overclocking capabilities, and outruns the AMD 3800+ by far on ALL benchmarks. :)
