hi
I have a little problem with my motheboard. My mobo is Gigabyte 945p-s3
and the latest bios, when I go into the bios settings after CTRL+F1 I
still cant find Cpu Ration settins or samething similar...I try modify
other settings lika a CPU host frequency, Multipier, etc...and my C2D
e4300 still have 1.8ghz :/ please help, Im desperate.

Gigabyte calls the CPU clock setting 'CPU Host Frequency'. This number is
1/4 of the FrontSide Bus frequency. If you wish to overclock your E4300 to
2.7 GHz, set the 'CPU Host Frequency' to 300 MHz rather than the stock 200
MHz. Gigabyte calls the CPU clock multiplier 'Clock Ratio'. Leave the
multiplier ('Clock Ratio') at 9 X (you can LOWER the multiplier, but you can
not raise it above the stock 9 X.) The E4300 must be overclocked by raising
the 'Host Frequency' (CPU clock) because you can not raise the multiplier
('Clock Ratio').
You may need to raise the CPU core voltage by a SMALL amount to overclock.
Do NOT raise the CPU core voltage above 1.4 VDC. Make any changes in small
increments, test for stability after each change.

All I can suggest is that some setting in the BIOS may be set to [AUTO] that
should be set to [MANUAL] (or similar settings) to get the overclock
settings to 'take'. You might also use a program like SiSoft Sandra Lite
(free) to check the real CPU speed. Some programs (CPU-Z for one) do not
give the correct CPU speed, FSB speed, and multiplier with my E4300 and EVGA
680i motherboard. (SiSoft Sandra also reports some incorrect numbers; CPU
core voltage, for one.
The E4300 overclocks I get with the Intel supplied boxed retail heatsink/fan
are
CPU speed: 2.7 GHz
FSB speed: 1200 MHz
CPU multiplier: 9X
CPU core voltage: 1.250 v (default is 1.325 v)
and
CPU speed: 3.15 GHz
FSB speed: 1400 MHz
CPU multiplier: 9X
CPU core voltage: 1.450 v.
The 2.7 GHz overclock is stable while running Orthos v0.41.110.18.
The 3.15 GHz overclock is stable while running light CPU loads, but hangs
very quickly running Orthos. I also don't like the very high CPU voltage.
Perhaps with better cooling I will get a higher overclock at a more
reasonable CPU core voltage.
As for English: I read the manual (in English) for your motherboard and it
is difficult for me to understand. It seems almost as if the manual was
translated back and forth among several languages. And some information is
just missing.

You might find this web page useful. The article itself isn't very good,
but the Gigabyte 965P-DS3P BIOS settings may help you. (I would try a lower
FSB setting and a stock CPU core voltage to start.) The article claims
outrageous overclocked CPU speeds, but offers no clue as to how the
overclock were actually obtained (certainly not without extra cooling.)

Phil,
Don't forget that the C2D, unless specifically told not to, lowers both the
CPU multiplier and the core voltage when idle.
This is called the Speedstep (or Stepspeed, I don't remember) property of
the CPU that enables lowering the dissipated power according to the CPU
load.
Example with my rig (P5W DH, E6600):
Clock = 333MHz (overclocked from 266MHz)
FSB = 1333MHz
When idle:
Vcore = 1.136V
CPU freq = 2000MHz
Multiplier = 6
When fully loaded (Nero Vision encoding a video DVD, CPU load = 99.5%):
Vcore = 1.224V
CPU freq = 3000MHz
Multiplier = 9

I have all that stuff turned off while attempting to get a good overclock.
The incorrect reports are really incorrect.

I was pretty sure you would know about it. Nevertheless I wanted to make the
comment because others might not know about the feature.
Well for me, all that stuff is turned on. But then a 25% overclock (2.4 ->
3.0 GHz for me) is not what I would call a very aggressive overclocking for
a C2D.
Very strange however that CPU-Z is so wrong by you, and completely on track
by me. Chipset not read properly?
I also have problems with Sisoft. Very strange values for the different
voltages (+5V reported as +3.15V for example. Which is totally impossible,
the PC would not even boot).
I have this motherboard. When you try to overclock the processor, the
memory timing automatically tries to change from the default (2.0X to 2.5X)
I overclocked to 3.3ghz but force the memory multiplier to 2.0X I bet that
is the problem, my motheboard will lock up if memory multiplier not 2.0X
