My specs
GA-P35-DS3R v2.1 BIOS F11
Corsair XMS2 PC6400 4GB
Intel e4600
BFG 8800GTS (G92)
Seagate 500GB drive
600W Power supply
EIST disabled
C1E(?) disabled
FSB +.1V
GMCH +.1V
Core voltage 1.4V (also tried 1.45V)
RAM +.3V
PCIe Speed (100MHz)
Problem 1:
I would like to drop the multiplier on my CPU so that I can raise the FSB to 333 rather than 250 to get a 3.0GHz OC. The problem comes when I go into standby. I can raise the FSB to 250 and still go into standby and come back out of it successfully. If I lower the multi to 9 and put the FSB at 333 the mobo won't come out of standby successfully. It does the boot, shutdown cycle problem that many others have talked about. I can stop the cycle by turning off the system and setting everything up again in the BIOS but that doesn't really fix the real problem.
Problem 2:
When I set my multi to 9 Windows reads my CPU speed as if it was still set at 12 saying I have a 4.0+GHz speed.
Solution 1: Get an e8400 when they're in stock again and just run it at stock speeds which is basically the same speed as the 4600 at 333x9. I'm concerned that I'll still have problems if I want to overclock because maybe the board is faulty.
Solution 2: Figure out why problem 1 and 2 are happening and fix them. Any suggestions or advice is appreciated. This board is supposed to support a 1333MHz bus by default and up to a 1600MHz bus through overclocking.
Thank you
