Hi guys,
I'll try and keep it short and sweet.
Got a DS3P 3.3, it has the F4 bios.
I have Kingston Valueram and an E4300.
I am letting the board handle the voltages in the menu option.
When I set the FSB too high, sometimes the board will re-boot, spin the drives, then turn off.
Then it turns on, then off, then on a few times - it's like the auto voltage thing is trying to find the right voltage range to overclock for me (or so the feature seemed to imply in the bios)
Question is:,... is this the "re-boot" bug / post bug people talk about and it shouldn't do it?
OR is it awesome in that,.. it's trying to overclock for me, can't figure out the best option so it goes back to defaults (which it does?)
Just curious - what do I do, where should I go from here.
For reference, I'm having a hell of a crappy time overclocking the E4300 - only stable at 290mhz x9 which seems tragically low (even if it is the stock cooler)
P.S Yes, the ram is running at 667 mhz or lower, I'm not letting the multiplier go out of wack and running the ram @ 1000
Would appreciate peoples thoughts - thanks all.
