Well I tried searching for similar topics, but to no success. I upgraded recently and here is what I have:
mobo: Gigabyte P35-DS3L with updated BIOS from 3/27/2008
cpu: Intel E2180
memory: 2 2 gig 800mhz OCZ DDR2
GPU: 8800GTS
I put everything together and ran it on stock settings for a couple weeks and then OC'd it to 3.0GHZ with these settings on the stock BIOS:
x10 multiplier
FSB 300
memory set to 900mhz (I think 3.00 setting in BIOS)
mem voltage +.2
cpu voltage: 1.425(stock is 1.325 i believe)
EIST and CP1 disabled after they were annoying me in CPU-z
It worked fine OC'd for a while. I ran prime95 for about 12 hours without problems. CPU-z showed 3000MHZ and memory at 450MHZ.
Recently I noticed that CPU-Z shows my stock settings of 2000MHZ core speed at x10 multiplier and a bus seed of 200.0 and FSB at 800MHZ. I reset CMOS and reset my OC settings to no avail. I then updated to my current BIOS version and re OC'd it and CPU-Z still shows no OC, but shows my memory at 250MHZ and 4:5. It seems that the FSB isn't going to 300 like I am entering it in BIOS, but the memory setting is. Is there a reason why this is happening and why I cannot fix it? The x10 multiplier does not change to x6 like it does with power saving settings. I have those disabled and can run stress programs and it stays at these settings in CPU-Z. Any help would be appreciated.
