hi all,
until today my pc was working fine overclocked to 2.8ghz using the south bridge to north bridge overclock thing on my asus a8n32 sli, i booted up windows and notice in the properties of my computer it said it was 2.0ghz so i restarted went into the bios reset everything and tried again,same thing happend so i used the asus AI overclocking feature in the bios that seems to be displaying my CPU is at 2.8ghz but when i restarted to save the changes in the bios it showed it was 2.0ghz, so i went into windows and it says 2.8 on CPUZ only can anyone help me with this problem? is my CPU borked?

Tried downclocking it a bit? What cooling do you have in your case? Have you moved your case to a warmer/enclosed area?

You are not alone

You both have Asus mobo's, maybe you need to overclock in a different way, manually upping the HTT (FSB) :confused:

thanks for the reply but my bios does not display my cpu speed as overcloked it displays it as 2.0ghz which is weird as this is below stock but if i overclock in a differebnt way using an asus tool in the bios it says the cpu frequency is 280 but when i restart it says in the satrt up its still 2.0ghz although cpuz says 2.8 and i have noticed a slight temp rise so i dont know which colck speed is coorect 2.0ghz or 2.8ghz :confused:

I got a Asus Mobo, I couldnt figure it out on the Nothbrodge or Southbrige for i did it on the FSB - located in Jumper free config, set the option to manual and bumbed it up a bit. Make sure you do it bi by bit and watch your temps.

Notice I have onli done it to 3.15 GHZ from 3.00 GHz. Got a bit of a crap cooler, not noticed much differences yet and temps are around the same (55C) it is a P4 478 Prescott so they are naturally hot.

thats an intel board m8, the bios will be different to my AMD as you are using an old socket typewhich = an old bios
P.S the EVO 33 is not crap
