radiohead Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 (edited) Well, I just got this board along with a twin pack of corsair XMS LL 3700 (466 rated) ram and a 2.8 800 p4 and TT spark7 cooler. So, I should be able to overclock it a little with this setup, as the memory comes with heat spreaders and I have a pretty decent cpu cooler. The problem: When I DO overclock, the bios posts and everything appears to be normal, however my SATA drive is not recognized. Very odd. As soon as I change the FSB more than 10mhz (40mhz effective), the drive does not respond. My ATA drives still work though. Anyone have any idea what the deal is with this? Does it have something to do with the PCI bus? Should I RMA this board and go with a different brand? I have noticed that SOYO is not very good with keeping bios up to date for this board. Latest revision was back in July of this year. Edited October 11, 2003 by radiohead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 definitely get another brand. soyo is not what I'd call a top notch board maker. it's no suprise that the sata controller goes nuts, it is part of the "PCI" bus that is adjusted when you change the fsb.

radiohead Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 I figured it out. There is an option called "Async PCI/AGP" I set it to 33/66 or whatever, and now it works fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
