I have had my mini-ITX system running faultlessly for a couple of months now, but realised the other day (via CPU-Z) that my manual overclock was not working.
I have a Core i3 560 overclocked to 4.0GHz, using a base clock of 160. I was quite methodical as always when testing the overclock and was always aiming for 4.0GHz - this was achived after testing at 1.275v. Corsair DDR3 is running at just under 1333MHz.
Once I was happy with this, it ran and passed 50 MAX tests in IBT, and 8hrs of Prime95. To date I have experienced no problems in Windows 7 with this overclock.
However after noticing I was back to 133 BClk via CPU-Z, I restarted and went straight to BIOS.
First screen showed a red window - something along lines of 'manual settings not stored and not applied'. I forget exactly, but can find out.
I usually use Asus boards and am used to them, but am a newbie to Gigabyte boards so am not sure what to make of this message.
Any ideas?
