Bit of an odd one this. I have a swiftech mcp55 pump and I have recently set this to the lowest flow rate. I found the delta between high and low to be negligible.
Anyway I have overclocked my q6700 to 333mhz, i.e. a rise from 266x10 to 333x10. Before I changed the flow rate I had no problems.
Its running on a gigabyte p35 dsr3 board and the bios is up to date.
So basically I power on the pc and the pump starts up and the pc hits the post screen as normal, however it then shuts down resets and then reverts the bios back to the normal clock. However I can then enter the bios change the FSB and the pc starts up as normal.
This sounds like a cold boot issue but I don't understand why changing the flow rate has caused this. All I can think is that the lower power requirments of using the pump at the lower flow rate is having some effect.
Anybody had a sumilar experience and figures out a work around? I was thinking I could just change the default bios clocks but can't seem to do this in the gigabyte bios.
thanks
