Folks,
I just put together my new box.
The specs are:
Antec P180 case
E6400
2G Ballistix (1G x 2) DDR2 PC2-6400
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
Radeon Z1950XT 256MB
Seagate SATAII HD
Antec True Power Trio 430W P/S
Award F9 BIOS
I heard that it had good, easy overclocking potential, so I did.
The settings I was told to adjust are:
In Advanced BIOS Features, set to disable:
Limit CPUID Max to 3
CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E)
CPU Thermal Monitor 2 (TM2)
CPU EIST Function
In PC Health Status, set to disable:
Fan Speed Control Method
In MB Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T.):
CPU Host Clock Control to Enabled
CPU Host Frequency (MHz) to 376
PCI Express Frequency (MHz) to 100
System Memory Multiplier to 2.00
DRAM Timing Selectable to Manual
CAS Latency Time to 5
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay to 5
DRAM RAS# Precharge to 5
Precharge Delay (tRAS) to 12
I hit to save settings and exit. I then boot up fast and game the rest of the night.
Problem is, when I reboot after the machine has been off for the day, it does not boot up to the desktop. I just hear the videocard fan going at full speed. After I hit the reset switch, it boots, but some (not all) of the settings that I changed in the BIOS do not stay. They will stay if I change them again and restart, and will also stay after I do a hard restart. I have run some torture tests and RAM tests, and all are fine and temps stayed below 60C.
Can it be the mobo battery? The board? Did I not make a setting that I should set, or set one I shouldnt have?
Also, I am not sure how to set proper voltage with my RAM sticks, since I don't see in BIOS what they are at, and which BIOS setting adjusts it. Do they NEED to be adjusted? Can I assume that it is 1.8v and that my sticks should run at 2.2v?
As always, thanks in advance for your help.
