By "not able tooverclock", what do you mean? Does the system not boot? Does
it not POST? Does the system become unstable? Or do you simply get the message
"CPU changed or is not workable..."? If the latter, then in the softmenu
screen, you need to make sure that the "Speed Error Hold" setting is disabled.
This is unique to the Abit boards. If you don't have that option, then get
the latest BIOS Flash update for your board from the Abit web site
