I too have this dx4831-01e with the same mobo and bios - they have not released any updates for years now. I have the i3-530 and 8gb ram installed. I would hope to squeeze a little more life out of this PC - its actually been pretty good. I have another mobo gigabyte ga-ma770-ds3 with a phenon 940 in it that is a little faster but it too has old bios and not many OC features... any help is appreciated!

shows i3-530 able to OC with standard air cool to 4.34Ghz - that or near that would be possible without buying another board... no sense in buying an old board for this processor but if I can toy with it and squeeze another year of life or give to kids to play games on that would be cool.
