Mobo not holding OC

[GingerNinja1989]

Hey, basically, I screwed up an overclock om my GA-P35C-DS3R, and had to remove the BIOS battery to reset it. Now, having re-entered my OC settings, I select F10 to apply them, but when I check CPU-Z, it reports CPU at stock (e2180) and RAM running underclocked. If I had a beard, I'd be scratching it...

Possibly a borked bios, could you try reflashing?

 

[toosepin]

Speedstep on?

Up the MCH and FSB voltages by 0.1? I had that problem when I first started clocking this board, that that solved it

Reflashed to the F10 BIOS, Speedstep is off, and I have always had the voltages upped by 0.2, and its worked fine. The computer will work, it just won't overclock. Thanks, and any other plans?

Reckon I should RMA? Or would Gigabyte not accept it?

You can't RMA a board just on the basis that it won't overclock :/

 

[GingerNinja1989]

Not on the basis that it won't overclock, because I know I can't do that, I meant on the basis of a dodgy BIOS or something (which I'm assuming it to be because, despite a reflash, it won't hold any settings I give it).

You didn't put the cmos battery back in upside down did you?
Or forget to put the cmos-clear jumper back?
Do you have another cmos battery spare to try?

 

[GingerNinja1989]

Not got a spare one to try, and it is in the correct way. Why would it just stop working like this? Sometimes I just hate technology...

Does the bios keep the correct date and time?

 

[GingerNinja1989]

Can't check right now, as need to go lecture, but will report back after that, cheers for the help so far!

 

[GingerNinja1989]

Right, I'm back, and it's working!! It just came back to life for some reason lol. Thanks anyways...
