Ok nevermind. I'm a doofus. (apparently the way to overclock these
boards is by using the DRAM multi.)
I have an Intel E6300 (1.86Ghz stock) with my Gigabyte P35-DS3P. Can
anyone recommend a good starting overclock?

1.87GHz ;-)
Seriously, even though it's a different motherboard, read through
this info on bios settings, voltages etc:

Like the rest of the Gigabyte boards I've seen, it's probably hidden
to annoy and confound users. After first entering the BIOS setup,
press <Ctrl> + F1 and one of the menus will have more advanced
tweaking options. http://hardwarelogic.com/news/132/AR...007-08-17.html

Ok I have worked the FSB(?) up to 300, and let the bios decide what
was best for the ram. It set it to 750.
Running nice. A bit faster. Hotter, but cooler is ok. Stable so far..
will run prime tonight.
CPUID still reports my clock speed to be 1.86 under "specification"
though .

If SpeedStep is enabled, it will automatically slow down under load.
Some report higher overclocks when this is disabled, as it lowers the
voltage (vCore) also. Check it with a load.
Which CPU do you have? If multi-core, sure it is stressing all cores by
checking the performance tab of Windows Task Manager, assuming you
are running Windows, of course. I just use this: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads...rime_2004.html
....which runs two instances of Prime95 torture test. I need to run two
instances of Orthos for the Quad core, though. Shaun posted that he
found a Prime95 version on www.MajorGeeks.com which is ver 25.5.
that would stress all cores. I was a little suspicious that it wasn't found
on the official website, so I didn't download it. http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm

Thanks for the link. It does make up for the features Prime95 lacks.

I've been using Prime95 ver 25.5 for a while and it looks as if it's
simply a crude version of what OSP is. It has a main window, two
windows within, one for each core, and it runs the same tests as regular
Prime95 and OSP. I'll certainly use OSP from now on because it does
have all the features that Prime95 lack, all versions included.
