Akutarou23 Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 My friend asked me to post this so here goes : I have a 3.0Ghz intel pentium4 cpu but it says that its running at a 2.5 Ghz /fsb166. I changed it manually in bios to 200 FSB and it runz at 3.0Ghz but now my onboard sound card wont work so I changed it back and the sound works again. What is wrong? why does my sound go away when I changed my FSB HELP MEEEEEEEEE TIA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 Onboard sound often has problems if the mobo is being overclocked. Certainly the cpu isn't being overclocked, but it sounds to me like the mobo doesn't support 200fsb fully. I know that a lot of 133fsb mobos (for the 533 p4 chips) would go all the way up to 166fsb for overclocking purposes. Coincientally, the cpu defaulted to 166fsb. What mobo does he have?

Akutarou23 Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 (edited) Same as mine MSI 865p -NEO Why does it show a lower clockspeed than what he's suppose to have? It's showing a 2.5 ghz internal clock instead of the 3.0 and the BIOS setting is at 166 but it says that at 3.0 ghz it's suppose to be @ 200 and up Edited January 20, 2004 by Akutarou23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmasterlarry Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 (edited) When he puts it at 200 FSB is it stable??? or is sound the only thing your loseing??? has he checked for driver updates or checked the main borad web page for what the main board supports? http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mai...ail.php?UID=432 http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mai...ail.php?UID=432 It can support up to Pentium 4 Northwood 3.06GHz Onboard sound often has problems if the mobo is being overclocked. must be an intel thing.

AYoKoNA Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 And another reason why I ordered my motherboard with no onboard sound or onboard video card. Looks so clean in the back and no problems Maybe the south bridge is getting too hot?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
asus Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 i have the same prob with the sound.. but my fsb is alwies 200 ++ i dont use the onboard sound never worked anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 I'm with ayokona on the south-bridge thing. It's clear that the problem is somehow related to the fsb increase...Heat seems like the obvious answer. Try just pointing a fan straight at the southbridge, or sticking some ramsinks on it or something. Worth a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
