Abit AI7 oldie but goodie help

[sofarfrome]

I have been using this board for about a year and when I OC the mobo it does not always save the OC settings. Often times it goes back to 200FSB when I have it set even a little higher. Is this a bios issue?

maybe .... the cpu/ram cant take thos settings.

you could flash first and then try again.

I would agree except for the fact it does it if I set the FSB to 225. I use TCCD memory at 2.5-3-3-6 timings. Sometimes when I reboot it goes back to 204 FSB but all other settings remain the same. All tests (prime, SuperPi, etc.) pass but after reboot the FSB changes.

hmm well i cant explian what is going on. My ai7 has had the fsb set to 240 with out any said problems. Funny thing i havnt used my 3.0c and ai7 for a while but i ran it and it booted up at 240. no problems right into windows.

the only thing i might think of is that the cmos is not able to hold a charge as well as it use to. Some info is being lost as the voltage of cmos battier goes down.

didn't think of that...I will get a new battery...thanks
