In all the reviews I've seen on this board (and my CPU), they go on and on about how great of an overclocker this board is, but I can't seem to properly overclock without some POST message coming up saying essentially, "Go back to START!"
Here's my specs:
MOBO: A8R-MVP
CPU: AMD x2 3800+
Mem: Corsair XMS DDR-400 (1Gb)
HD: Raptor 74Gb 10,000RPM
Must posts that I've read say you can run the CPU at 2.4Ghz, but how do you set that in the BIOS? I see CPU Freq. (200-400) and multiplier (x10). There's also a HT setting (1000) and the CPU core voltage can only go up to (1.4v). I also read you can get the FSB up to 310Mhz, but when I set the CPU Freq to 248 and the multiplier to x8 (per the formula), I get a post message. I'm I setting this right?
Also, the BIOS has super simple OC profiles (+3%-+25%), but when I use the lowest setting, my machine will boot up, but eventually will freeze. My temps are low (40/30 idle cpu/mobo, +6 under stress), so is it just that I have one of those CPUs that just won't overclock very well?
Thanks,
Lou
