GIGABYTE uses a modified Phoenix Award BIOS that is common to their motherboard chipsets. The main menu is split into the Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker, Standard CMOS Features, Advanced BIOS Features, Integrated Peripherals, Power Management Setup, PNP/PCI Configurations, and PC Health Status. The MIT is where the tweaking and overclocking is done.  Battery  Dual BIOS Standard CMOS Features shows the Date, Time, detected IDE devices, the Drive A, the Halt on Error, and memory detected. Advanced BIOS Features is where you set the memory footprint for the integrated graphics, what mode the integrated graphics uses, which onboard video output the integrated graphics uses, the CPU Features, and the Boot Device Priority. Integrated Peripherals is where you set RAID for your HDDs. This is also where you disable or enable the HD Audio, the LAN, Firewire and USB Devices. Power Management Setup is where you set the ACPI Suspend Type, the Power on by mouse or keyboard, the Modem Ring Resume and PME Event Wake Up, AC Back function and Power On by Alarm.  Easy Tune 6  Overclocked Overclocking on a motherboard is dependent on a lot of factors including the CPU being used, the cooling being used, the ambient temperature, the voltages and much more. I was able to overclock the GIGABYTE board to 345MHz FSB, which is pretty good and the clock speed to 3055MHz (235MHz FSBx13). The system was completely stable at that clock speed. MIT has a wide variety of options for an inexpensive board like the GIGABYTE MA785GMT-UD2H. The settings include Advanced Clock Calibration, EC Firmware Selection, Value, CPU Clock Ratio, CPU Northbridge Frequency, CPU Host Clock Control, CPU Frequency, PCIE Clock and more. I have listed the various settings in this chart for your convenience:
