Overclocking E2160 (Help?)

Yeah and it's weird (right now I'm on my dad's comp) when I try to set the FSB at 333 (3.0GHz) when I boot Vista, once I'm in windows it sometimes says either multiplier at 6 FSB 200 or sometimes it shows the stock settings (as if changes in the BIOS weren't done) which is multi at 9 FSB at 200...

Any comments on how I can disable that? and BTW nevermind about the C1E, I couldn't find it either, so both the C1E and SpeedStep I need to disable but can't find... :(

On a forum, someone said it may be called "CPU Enhanced Halt " instead of C1E

See if you can find that

Yeah I found it, disabled both C1E and EIST (and SmartFAN)

Omar, have you pressed Crtl + F1 to get the advanced options...

Yeah I manually set timings to 4-4-4-12

Now I have a bigger problem. Even with C1E and ESIT disabled, the comp won't do ANY changes I do on the BIOS! :(

I set it to all kinds of FSB and CPU voltage combinations including the last OC I had stable (2.7GHz vCore=1.33125V) and they all just return to normal specs once Vista loads. :confused:

Should I take out and replace the CMOS battery off the mobo??

Yeah maybe, but the default timings and voltage of my RAM is 4-4-4-12 @ 2.2V. I have manually set both settings on BIOS. SHould I try settings those settings in "Auto"?

I've tried everything! It won't do any changes! :(

And yes, I am pressing the F10 and chosing "Exit and save? / Y" :p :p

Turn off the C1E and EIST, see if that helps! :)

Yeah thanks, I have both turned off, and nothing. :mad:

Yeah, thanks for the help so far guys.

Do you all think that letting the comp turned off for awhile could help? Also, I read one time somewhere that you could remove the CMOS battery from the mobo and that would reset something... I don't know.

:eek:

If you take the CMOS battery out, it'll put everything back to stock. What did younchange for this to happen?

Dont worry, we'll get it sorted! :)

Last thing I did was set CPu voltage to 1.5V and then 1.4V this was to get the 3.0GHz but it never showed up as 3.0GHz. That's the last thing I did before it started not-doing changes.

Do you think I messed the mobo up? :eek:

I guess I can reset by taking the battery out. Is there a certain amount of time that you have to keep it out of the mobo?

Thanks!

I'm gonna have to do that tomorrow though, I'm tired of trying to get a stable OC today, been doing it for 6 hours straight!! :D

For now, I just cut the power to the power supply, see if that maybe could help. I hope I get it sorted cause I had been waiting for this build for a long time. THen we ordered and there was a problem so I had to wait extra time to get it and now this, I just have bad luck! :(

But, afterall, we gotta believe in Mr Owl's rig dont we? ;)

Thanks for the help so far... :)

You guys don't know how happy I am! So yesterday it was late so I decided that I would take the battery out for some minutes, plug it back in and leave the computer with no power feed unti the next day.

Today I come from school, turn it on, go to the BIOS and everything was on stock so I set everything up and I'm running back at 2.7GHz! :D :D

Now I'm gonna be careful about the CPU voltage cause setting it at 1.5V is what I think messed the BIOS up last time.

Off to eat :p

Yeah man, it's great! :)

Right now I'm checking stability @ 3.0GHz ;)

*edit* BTW, how do you know when to stop OC'ing?
