Man, what am I doing wrong here???
I have had this mobo for about a year now and everything has been running fine with my e6600 oc'ed to 3.3ghz.
I just got the e8400 and it is running like junk. At first, it wasnt even being recognized properly, had to reset the cmos using the jumpers. When it booted up, this is the default I get in the bios. (I failed to reset the bios to default settings before adding the new chip)
FSB 1333
CPU 1.17
FSB 1.2
MEM 1.9
SPP 1.25
MCP 1.5
SPP-MCP 1.2
5-5-5-15-2t
48c cpu
34c board
48c mcp
I then tried to overclock to 1600 (3.6ghz) fps with the voltages below, no go wouldnt boot... had to reset the cmos to boot. Tried again but this time with 1780 fsp (yeah I know, 1600 didnt work so let me make things worse .. right?).
Magically, it now boots but gets a startup temp of 59c. Also, I noticed vdroop for the vcore to 1.41 (was set to 1.475) Took it to 1.5 and it vdrooped to 1.45ish.
Anyways, when I boot windows with the following settings it locks after a few min.
(These settings were suggested on another thread)
FSB 1780
CPU 1.475 (actual 1.41)
FSB 1.3
MEM 1.9
SPP 1.45
MCP 1.55
SPP-MCP 1.4
5-5-5-15-2t
I have the latest bios version (which I updated to months ago) 691N0P32.
Here are the specs ...
-MSI NX8800GT 512M OC GeForce 8800 GT 512MB
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W
-Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
-G.SKILL 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA
-Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (Perpendicular Recording Technology) 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
-ZALMAN CNPS 9700 NT 110mm 2 Ball Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler
-EVGA 122-CK-NF68-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
-CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX 520W ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 Power Supply
-Vista 64bit Ultimate
Why would I be able to hit 4ghz and post but not even be able to boot with 3.6 same voltages??
Thanks ahead of time!
