Ok, kind of a strange problem here with a new system that I'm trying to overclock.
I just got a ga p35 ds3l mobo, e2160 dual core, 2x1GB ddr2 800 ram 500w Antec Neopower PSU.
I worked with it for a while last night and after a little tweaking I got everything stable at 3ghz with 333fsbx9. CPU voltage on 1.425 in the bois, ram +.4v (Ram is rated 2.2 - 2.3v) with the rated ram timings of 444-12. I had the ram running with the 2.4 multi for 800mhz for the RAM. I ran orthos for 5 hours of CPU stress and followed by 5 hours of blend test to make sure everything was stable. I didn't have any errors or warning, temps peaked at 55c, idle was around 29-32c.
So I thought everything was great! However... After I rebooted I noticed on post it said memory speed was only 480??? So I went into the bios, everything was still the same and looked good in there, however again, after I rebooted it still said 480 speed for memory, and the FSB had reset back to 200 (it was using that 200x2.4 to get the 480 it looks like). So my bios settings wouldnt stick.
I tried to update my bios from F7 to F8 and restore default settings, but still was a no go. Whenever I change the FSB it just defaults back to 200 when I reboot.
Can anyone help?
