Well I recently have a Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 2.4GHZ
GIGABYTE 945GCM-S2C
2GB
DDR2 Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 (1x1)
680 Watt Power supply.
Dats it. So I dont know how to overclock Is there a way to overclock it to 3.0GHZ, if there is help me outt.

1. Raise the FSB in your BIOS.
2. Learn to spell.

LOL thanks. But I Access the bios, Idk how to set FSB and all that. There is something x12
I raise it to 3.0ghz
I save and exit.
When I open up CPUZ it says its still 2.4GHZ

I suggest you go read a few articles on overclocking so that you get some understanding of what the settings are that you are manipulating. Trying to go from 2.4 to 3.0GHz all in one shot without knowing what the limits of your system are is a bit reckless.

Overclocking is about 50% skill, 50% luck, not every system will perform the same.

Didnt help can someone help me out, no comments only instructions, or if there is something useful to say, say it.

Have you tried gigabytes overclocking software?
Hit f10 when exiting that should save your settings

Thanks but I do, the thing is It just wont save. I can overclock it to 2.5ghz (normal is 2.4ghz) It wont save. Ik Gigabyte rocks, im cheap gamer, So I was reading on this motherboard many people overclock on it.

It has that step speed crap on there doesn't it? The cpu increases speed as needed. So when you look at the speed it only shows stock, even though you have it OC'd, but on full use it goes to the OC rate. If you want to run it at the OC rate all the time then you first need to disable speed step. Get CPU-Z and Orthos. Run Orthos to get the cpu to 100% usage (check usage with task manager) then check the speed with CPU-Z. I have all that speed step crap turned off. I'm getting ripped off on my energy bills anyway so a few extra bucks won't matter.

It's called C1E Support in the bios. Disable it.
