IoDd64 Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 (edited) ok so I oced my cpu from 2.083 to about 180 FSB.. then i went down to 166 FSB (didnt want to mess with anything anymore) .. and it wouldnt post... so i cleared the CMOS.. and everything posted.. i went into the BIOS and say that the FSB was 100... and stock its supposed to be at 166.. and when i go to raise it (5 mhz increments) to 105.. everythings good, untill i got to 120... (1.4 ghz) then it wont post, and i cleared the CMOS again... no avail past 120 FSB.. Someone help me.... EDIT: ok i just cleared it again after a failed attempt to get to 119FSB... i went straight to stock speed (166 FSB) AND IT WORKS... my only question is why didnt it work at 120? im stumped.. specs DFI NFII-AL 400 Athlon XP 2800+ barton 9600XT 256mb 400W PSU DVD/CD-rom 40 gig HD 7200 rpm 256 pc-3200 mushkin "green series" Edited March 8, 2004 by IoDd64 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectrascope Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 it has to do with the harmonics of the cpu with the speed cpu's are going today everything has to be prefectly in sync otherwise it won't basicly what you had going was off beat slow dance when it was supposed to be a samba that or your mother just can't recongize a cpu that slow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 just set it right to 166 and leave it alone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IoDd64 Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 ok everything is going good... i got it back up to 180 FSB.. couldnt resist.. dont want to go any higher, cuz the crap board doesnt allow voltage control over the cpu, but allows it on the DIMMS... thats pretty stupid!

bigred Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 (edited) that board does too have cpu voltage tweaking! go download the online manual see section 3.1.8.9 Edited March 9, 2004 by bigred Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IoDd64 Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 (edited) link please.. i cant find it.. err.. disregard that... 3.1.8.9 only shows Current Voltage is: This field will show the cpu's current voltage Edited March 10, 2004 by IoDd64 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
