GA-EP35-DS3R Will Not Over Clock

This is the E version of this board. Rev. 2.1 BIOS F2.
I have searched without much success for overclocking this board. See my signature for the base hardware.

I have tested the RAM. Removed 4GB, made all kinds of suggested settings, disabled all energy saving and throttling, tried to load the non-E F11 BIOS, it will not take, (ID Error) and she will not even hold a 266 which is all I want.
I'm new to it but not a total novice. I built the system and it was like a dream. Assembled,(including lapping the CPU and HS) posted first time, Vista x64 HP went in without a hitch, all my software PhotoshopCS3, Office, went in and run fine not one error, boo,boo. But she will not take a clock.

Anyone know the secret? I just want a decent 266.

Re: GA-EP35-DS3R Will Not Over Clock

Well stock is 266fsb. I had the just the P35-DSR3 worked fine for a few months then i had all kinds of problems with it. Whiched boards and my Q6600 is very happy. I poped in a celeron in the p35-dsr3 and it works fine now go figure. Load the latest F11 bios and then reset bios to default.
