P5WD2 + 670 gaming problems!

[dpa]

Hey,

I now have a P5WD2 Premium mainboard with a 670 @ 5Ghz.. But there is a problem.. When I play some games the gamespeed is like +200%! This goes for NFSMW/GT Legends and CS:Source.. F.E.A.R works just fine..

When I set the fsb to 200Mhz the problem is gone, up to about 220Mhz it works flawless..

I had the 0606 bios on the P5WD2 card, but flashed back to 0422 that gives me +150Mhz stable, but same results in games.. really sucks.

Did you install service pack 2?

SP1 is installed..

Well there is your problem then, you need SP2. With SP1 windows won't detect the correct cpu speed beyond ~4295 Mhz which causes quite a few games/program to behave abnormally.

thanks... I will check.. Do you have the "sli driver" for P5WD2?

might just buy another gtx...

It works :D thank you.

i had something weird like that happen to me a while back out of nowhere. i come home, and wake up my computer from its screensaver, and go to get on. I noticed the time was wrong. I thought maybe it was because of the failed overclock from the previous night since i had to clear the cmos. so i set it to the correct time and continue surfing. i look at the time and like 40 minutes had passed in a matter of a few. so i open the clock setting again and notice the little analog clock picture is ZOOMING. Wondering what it affected, i oped a movie, which played at hyper speed. Hoping i could bust out an amazingly fast Pi run, i did a 1m and the 19 steps went by like normal (about 2 seconds a piece for this system at stock) but it reported the times as if the hyper fast time was accurate. i shoulda took a screenshot of a 20+ minute 1M pi run on a modern computer. Guess i was too worried at the time that i got a gay virus. anyway i simple restart fixed everything.

Haha, I've never heard of that.
