I have an Asus Cusl2 Mobo. With bios ver. 1001a ( i think)
P3 650E, Asus GeForce 6600 Deleuxe, and pc-133 ram. When i overclock my 650 to 800 and shuts my comp down for the nite the next day when i boot up it goes back to 650 again. Why i ask? I know my cpu is capable of doing 800 no prob( i'm after having it reach 845 and everything was cool, also when i had my 650 in my old BX board which was an Asus P3B-F it stayed at 800). So i'm just wondering is there some kind of tweak or "trick" i have todo with my system. Besides flashing my Bios. ( i hate doing that)

Thanks

When you overclock bus speed you overclock every bus as well (AGP, PCI, IDE, RAM), so they may not be stable enough to run at higher bus speed. Make sure you have ample cooling and chand the multiplier only.


Smart guys are not smart; they only see things in different perspective.
