Hi guys.
i want to know if there's any option i can do,to get max out of my cpu. i have an ''msi p31 neo'' board and xeon e5440 quad core cpu. two crucial ballistix ddr2 modules on 1066mhz and one pqi module on 800mhz. but all modules are working on 800mhz,board supports only 800mhz. board supports only up to 1333mhz fsb for cpu and this xeon is 1333mhz fsb cpu. cpu clock is 2830mhz default and i managed to get it to 2290mhz stable. this is very low overclock,it's unnoticeable. base cpu fsb at default is 333mhz in bios,now is 339mhz. any higher than that,the board wont boot. multiplier is set to 8.5 by default,and i have option 9 also. when i use multiplier 9,cpu clock automatically sets to 3000mhz,and the base fsb stays to 333. this should work perfectly,but just won't and im frustrated about it. when i set multiplier 9,save bios settings and restart pc,that thing just automatically defaults to 8.5 multiplier after restart.
so,i want to know if there's any option to fix this ''bug'' i think,or just leave it to 8.5 and get back to fsb to make more then 339mhz?
i have a lots of options in bios,5-6 voltages,i have tried some of them,but it wont work either,just black screens after reboot. i want to know if this is maybe bios fault? should i try to update the bios? but this is an old board and i doubt there's any new bioses...
any input appreciated,sorry for my english 1.3
