not sure if you can, but something to try is a program called setfsb, just download it from a quick google search. good luck man

Yeah cant find a single generator that will find my mobo anybody know anything i can do (maybe a safish flash of the bios?) iv tried systools setfsb and a few other homebrew OC progs but nada.

The clock generator for the 945GCT-xx should be either RTM866-485 or ICS9LPRS419DFLF, both of which are supported by the latest 2.x version of SetFSB.

Okay i Tried the first one got a error, the ics9lprs419dflp loaded the FBS (but didnt work) I tested a few others, tried just searching for my base FBS at 199.5 found a few but after changing to anything it start lagging and sooner or later i get the blue screen. heres a pic see if it helps

The best option for overclocking that CPU/mobo combo is going to be a BSEL pad-mod which will increase the FSB from 200 to 266. I seem to recall the 2160 I played with not needing a voltage bump at that speed.

There are a few guides on the forum, just search BSEL.

That's the best set of illustrations I've seen since he is using the data sheet (top down) and actual pad side photos. Referring to just the socket/top down view has caused a bunch of people to jump the wrong pins in the past.
