Try pressing ctrl+f1 while in bios, that sometimes unlocks the advanced features. If it doesnt work you can try the Gigabyte OC software.

ok i tried that and nothing happend and i also tried to use several different softwares to overclock but on everyone of them the overclocking option was not highlighted.

when i hit delete to get to my bios system..it says CMOS setup utility.

also i updated sucessfully the BIOS with the gigabyte updater..
