Hello,
When I had my old motherboard I could clock my 3800x2 to 2.8GHz with 1.4v no problem. It has a Toledo core. My old board was a GIGABYTE GA-K8N Ultra-9. Wasn't bad at all. That broke and I was refused RMA so I purchased a cheap(ish) K8N-SLI to replace it. I know it's not as good as the first one but it's all I could afford.
Anyhow, moving on. The old board, entered clocks and voltages etc. Saved and exited bios. Fine boots (if stable). No problems.
Now with my new board I go into bios, I set the fsb, the vcore and HT. I save and exit and boot but when it's posting it says "over cpu frequency" or something similar. That was what my old board did so I thought it was ok. Then I was expecting it to start detecting IDE devices but instead it restarts.. Then at post it says "skip over cpu over clock" or something much the same. Like it does when you press delete to go into bios at post but I didn't press anything. Then boots up as normal.
No matter what I try it does this and it's quite annoying.
The bios is latest version and I tried far lower clocks to see if that worked and no luck.
Any ideas?
