I just built a new SFF (LANBox Lite) build with a mATX Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H and AMD 5200+. I have the latest BIOS (F4) and can access Advance Chipset Features by pressing CTRL-F1 when I enter the BIOS.

The motherboard came with software called EasyTune5, but I cannot access the overclocking options within it.

If anyone is a knowledgeable about this board or how to OC it I would be very grateful.

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H
Socket: AM2
CPU: AMD 5200+
Cooler: Zalman CNPS8700 LED
Case: Thermaltake LANBox Lite

My options are:

CPU Clock Ratio: Auto, 5x - 12.5x (0.5 unit increments)
CPU Host Clock Frequency (MHz): Auto, 200-500 (1 unit increments)
 
Ditch the F4 BIOS; it's crap, and should only be used for Phenom support. Use F3a instead.
Technicality: socket is AM2, not AM2+.
 
Alright, I'll flash it real quick. I grabbed a copy of that particular BIOS in case anyone suggested it.

EDIT: Downgraded to F3a, and lost support for my USB keyboard...which is a big issue for me. Is there something that F3a has that F4 doesn't? "F4 is crap" doesn't really tell me much.
 
FYI I had a problem on this board with f3a and a USB keyboard on the front headers. Attaching the USB keyboard to the back USB ports works fine.
