This way your problem. As I have stated before, it took small voltage to get 450mhz, but much more to get 400mhz 1:1. Typically, crashing beofre CMOS has been checked means chipset volts are too low(or ram). I have tested my ram on otherboard so know it's max, and never reboot a failed overclock attempt such as you did. This could have been your mistake..could have been not enough voltage, but I have done the same as you, and not had any issues. However, the one difference I see right away is that my cheapy sticks are 512mb d9's with 400/533/677 SPD(ram is stable 533 3-3-3-9 @ 1.8v), and they always seem to boot this board @ 533mhz after a CMOS clear.Originally Posted by nealh
BTW...best way I have found to deal with a C1 is too do a power-reset CMOS clear. If after the clear you still have a C1, then you need to swap to other ram.
I read it somewhere, cannot remember where, but the person posting the info was not someone who's posts I take lightly. Unfortunately I cannot remember the source. I do however remember that this info does conicide with what I hav found with my use of the board.
My chipset was 62-63c on load with stock heatsink. Changing to AS5 only dropped temps a couple of degrees. Currently I have an Thermalright HR-05 on the chipset, and under 1.66v in bios i get 50c max loaded. If i had stock cpu voltage, this would be far too much, as I do believe there is a "buffer" where cpu voltage and chipset voltage must be in order for proper operation. If the values are too far apart, damage will occur that will not make itself known for a while. The same can be said for all the other voltages...they all need to be within a specific ratio of one anotheras the components on the board are only capable of shaping these voltages in certain ways. Same for every board tho.
