have any specific instructions? I'm not sure where this is, what it looks like, etc...



I could just pull the battery off the mobo for a min and then the bios should reset back to factory defaults, right?

[Gauvenator]

um..the manual has instructions I believe, and a diagram of the layout of the mobo

[r0b126]

wuwu, got it to stay on long enough to flip it back to 1333

glad to hear it...is your vcore on auto? If it isn't, use CoreTemp to check your VID and set it to that.

i've got to eat, ttyl

[r0b126]

will check for ya in a sec.... I have to be at work in 1 hour.. so I'll need to leave to shower, change, and drive there...but I am an IT at a hospital, so I can take the comp there, get online and fiddle with the OCing some more. Gonna mess with it for a few more minutes and will keep you updated on the vcore/fsb...hoping I get this fing thing to 1600 tonight though lol


edit: yes, vcore is set to auto....setting it to 1373 and trying again

ok, cpu-z is reporting 2746.5mhz @ 1373 bios set fsb setting....343.3 mhz bus speed
also, the mem timings are correct now ever since I unlinked...cpu-z says 4-4-4-12 2T


edit2: took it to 1393, showing 2784 core speed...348 on the bus
core voltage @ 1.440 with auto...ram freq is set to 198.9....can someone explain that? is that just the base freq or is that what its defaulting to due to the manually adjusted fsb settings I gave it?

the pc6400 dimms I am using are supposed to be 800mhz



edit3: 2826, bus 353.3, fsb 1413....mem freq still says 198.7 and still confuses me
fsb:dram says 16:9 ratio

[Gauvenator]

You will have a 1:1 ratio at 400fsb. The frequencies are kindof weird sometimes.

Did you check what your VID is with CoreTemp? You should definitely set it to that in the bios, so that the Auto setting doesn't pump too much vcore.
And if your having stability issues, turn it up a notch.

ok latest update: I got it up to 1593 on the FSB and it booted into windows just fine right under 3.2GHz on the processor.

Under memory it still shows about 198Mhz for the mem freq.


I jumped it up another 20 to 1613 and it froze during windows boot. Should I adjust the voltage or drop it back down to 1593? Also, no, I have never used CoreTemp

Honestly, I'm new at this, so I don't even know what you mean with that question / statement. I can look around in the bios for something that resembles what you're asking and see if I find it.


What should I do as far as trying to fully utilize my 800MHz memory with this system that won't clock at or over 1600MHz on the FSB? Any advice?

[Gauvenator]

Try 1600. It will get you an even 800mhz on the ram. If it doesn't boot, up the voltage a little.

[r0b126]

last time I tried 1600, it was freezing a ton when I went into the bios and failing post every other time I rebooted. Is there a vcore adjustment that can be made in order to fix this before I try it again... or any other change for that matter? Thanks for all the help.
