even at 1.6 voltage I can't get past 2.7 with my 2.4c...looks like I'm stuck....oh well.....
Here are the settings at 2.7, basically the same thing I at 250 fsb
SoftMenu
CPU Operating Speed
Ext Clock = 230/66/33
N/B Strap CPU As = PSB800
DRAM Ratio = 5:4
AGP Ratio = Fixed
CPU Power Supply
CPU power supply CPU Default
CPU Core Voltage = 1.525 ( I have bumped this up to 1.6 with same unstable results)
AGP Voltage 1.55
Advanced Chipset Settings
DRAM Timing Selectable = Manual
CAS Latency Time = 2
Act to Precharge Delay = 7
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay = 3
DRAM RAS# Precharge = 3
System BIOS cacheable = DISABLED
Video BIOS cachable = Enabled
Memory Hole = Disabled
Delay Prior to Thermal = 16 Min
AGP Aperture Size = 128
Init DIsplay First = PCI Slot
DRAM Data Integrity Mode = Non-ECC
AGP Data Rate Capability = 8x Mode
Game Accelerator = Auto
Refresh Cycle Time = Auto
Read Delay Adjust = disabled
Command per Clock = disabled
System specs are
2x512 Kingston hyper X pc3500
AIW 9700 Pro
Generic NIC
Onboard sound enabled
What power supply are you using? When I first set up my 2.4c on the Ic7 I wasn't able to overclock at all. Then I figured out from reading the forums that my 400 watt PSU didn't have the second power connector needed by the mobo. I bought a 550watt antec true power PSU and now its running at 295 FBS for 3.55, a 47.5% overclock =).
BTW how do you change your sig? I cna't seem to figure it out and I feel like a Noob!

i havent used a speaker in 3 years.....Originally posted by: MangoTBG
Ok, I went ahead and removed the "Speaker" plug from the mobo. Now, is this an unsafe thing to do? I know the only thing it really was used for was posting. But if my PC won't post, all I'd have to do is plug it back in, right? Well, I hope it never comes down to not posting (Knock on wood). But, now my question is...is there any other bad affect to not having the speaker plugged in?
You must still clear the CMOS using the jumper. Otherwise, (at least on my system), the option to disable onboard 1394 port and/or SATA won't appear.Originally posted by: thatsright
when I updated the BIOS to 1.6, I never reset the CMOS jumper. I thought since updating the bios is now done in windows you don't need to do this. Am I wrong about this?

So many posts. I just wanted to know what memory to get that is STOCK at 2/2/2/5 timings in a 256 or 512 config for the IC7/IC7-G. Thanks for any info.

Corsair 3200LL the kind sold in pairs is rated orginally at 2,6,2,2. I've run 2 512 sticks at 2,5,2,2 but with the newer BIOS it seems to like the 2,6,2,2 better more stable. Corasir recently changed the settings to 2,6,3,2, although as far as I know there was no cahnge in hardware. Seems some 875 MOBOs needed the 2,6,3,2 to work relaibly. I don'tknow of any that is rated to run at 2,5,2,2. Although 3500 running at 3200 might be able to do this.
