wtf.. no go past 280htt.. Help wanted!!

[bias_hjorth]

Hi guys.

some a major issue here I really cant figure out! I am not, in any possible way, able to pass 282htt no mater what bios setting and bios I use.. The odd part is that this board use to do 360htt and its driving me friggin nuts cause i´ve tried any bios setting and almost every bios out there using winflash and the old fashion way.. no help.. I´ve testet with another cpu, ram, no pci, 66mhz pci card, win xp and 2k3...

So help is really needed cause I cant figure this on out..

edit: board is a k8nnxp

bump..
someone´s must have been through the same..?

LDT? You checked contact of the heatsink on the chipset?

[Ragnarok]

Have u changed video cards? recently a friend upgraded from Ti4200 to a X800, and his HTT dropped dramatically.

[saaya]

wow, thats interesting! even with locked agp/pci?

[bias_hjorth]

its a ldt 4x , 3x, 2.5x, 2x, 1x... 2.5x, 2x, 1x gives the same.. htt 282..use to do 360 at 2x

[bias_hjorth]

I´ve just been through a number of options on these bios´:
k8nnxp: F9,F11,F12, F12 tictac
k8n pro: F9,F10,F11, F9 tictac, F10 tictac, F11 tictac

No change.. still 282..

[bias_hjorth]

another odd thing.. If I boot at 275 I can bench short at 282htt (no mater mulitp.)
If I boot at 201 I cant reach anymore than 272..

maybe your mobo is overheating somewhere? maybe you need more volts? a mod? also back the HTT to 3x for over 240-250fsb

dont think its overheating ^^ lol I know about the htt ;) (usually need 2x to get over 350HTT --- no need for voltage... dont think there´s any mod needed.. I am almost sure its a bug somewhere..

hmm odd. So just one day it stopped oc'ing that high?

[Geforce4ti4200]

have you tried clearing cmos then trying again? I remember one time I pushed something too far, but couldnt remember what but my system was unstable. cleared cmos, tried again and fixed that.

DAN:
from one day to another yes.. I´ve got a funny feeling it might be a bios update that messed something up.. :/


geforceti4200:
I´m on dual bios here so that wouldnt do the trick.. even though I tried..

[LikwidKool]

hmm. have you tried flashing both bios'? Meaning flash the main bios, then boot with the backup bios and flash that one too. Could help.

I don't run my K8Npro anymore, but the K8NNXP F12 bios was the best for me.

Didnt help :(
