There is very limited options for overclocking this system If not for the eXtreme version of processores there is almost none really. You can OC using the Nvidia software but it will not stick like a true bios setting.
I would suggest you get a copy of coretemp and monitor the CPU temps with that. The QX6850 is a very finicky chip on this motherboard. Your ram can also play a big part in obtaining the higher clock speeds.
Make sure you are running the latest bios A06. Make sure you have the latest chipset drivers. You can get them from the Nvidia site. IF you do use the Nvidia site driver you must make sure you do not update the NIC as the system board uses a broadcom Nic vice a Nvidia nic. When you run the driver setup it will present you with an option screen on what to update. Just deselect the Nic portion.

OK I am nervous about doing this chipset driver. can you lead me in a straighter direction. This is the nvidia base 680i mobo do I look for software? I was just at the sight and it does not say chipset drivers. I am new at most of this, but I am learning as I go. I have only had a PC for 2 years and my first mark60 score was in the 4000. Now I am in the upper 16000. Thanks for your patients and your help this is the most helpful forum I have ever joined!
Thanks Alot,
Everyone

Here is the Vista 32 bit driver link. If you need a different version just go to the main page and select nforce,680i, and then you Operating system

Note in the Release Highlites it list all the componets it will update. You see the ethernet listed at the top of the list this would be the one you would deselect during the install.
