I have the fore mentioned MOBO.
Just had a look at the manual ; I see there’s “tons” of options regarding overclocking this board .

l’d like to squeeze every bit of this hardware to increase performance for DAW - use .
So I’d need any HELP setting up the BIOS.

THANK YOU !!!

Hello, overclocking affects the life of the CPU and is not advisable for audio production.
Please read this guide and optimize your PC for audio production:

Core 2 Duo?
Ok, but what Model/specs?

Even if the CPU had an Unlocked FSB/multiplier,
the improvement in DAW usage would be marginal..
Maybe just a hair more juice when everything is loaded, but probably not too significant..

Besides of optimizig the System, what you could do is:
Update BIOS, and system Drivers, specially Chipset and USB
Upgrade RAM to bigger quantity, or faster modules, and adjust BIOS timings to max spec..
Use SSDs

And why not Undervolt the CPU,
some mobos/cpus will have control programs that can be adjusted.
Otherwise it can be done on the BIOS..

Less Voltage = less Heat, and thus strain on components..
