    I have done a bit of searching in the official threads, but that is hundreds of pages of searching for a specific question.

    I pulled up bios in my new (to me) R1 and found no Overclock options for my CPU. In the advanced menu, there is one option that says "Overclock" and it is enabled, but when I pull up CPU-Z it still says I am at 1.3GHz.

    I see nowhere to change the multiplier or anything... any help would be greatly appreciated.

    My BIOS version is A05 (08/06/2010)

    yup. your OCed. :)

    if you want to OC further there is a hard mod that you can do.

    check out the pinmod thread.

    That's it? How can you tell I am OCed? Because it says 1.3 GHz... I assume its in the Clocks section, but I am not sure I know how to read that lol

    While playing a game I am consistently at 98%-100% CPU Usage... which is irritating. lol

    I don't know how to do the pinmod thing, although I have read your thread about it some guy.
