Ga-g33m-s2l overclocking problem
« on: February 03, 2010, 07:27:42 am »
I have the following hardware:
g33m-s2l (bios F2 and F3k)
Q6600
Kingston ddr2 800MHz 4x1GB dual channel Interleaved.

When I try to overclock the motherboard resets OC settings at restart. I can overclock the memory without board reseting
values. when I try to overclock the processor the following happens: The comp reboots, it shows the processor running at
the speed i clocket it and when it reaches to memory check it reboots and resets the settings.
I have tried to disable features in bios and manual/auto voltages...nothing. I have tried with 1, 2 and 4 modules installed.
Also tried 667 memories...same thing.

I tried to overclockunder Windows using Easy Tune 5 Pro. Used the easy settings and reached 2.8GHz somethings.

What could cause the resetting at boot?

Probably voltages etc.

Personally I wouldn't recommend using all 4 channels when overclocking. It's more stress on the NB which means more heat etc etc

Try in BIOS setting;
1. Disable energy saving settings
2. Set FSB to 333 and multiplier to x9
3. Set the RAM divider to run you're RAM at 800Mhz (or as near as possible)
4. Set CPU V to around 1.36v

Check your temperatures and overlock with CPUZ and Coretemp. Try not to let your CPU go above 60c. If it's going much higher than that then you need to look at investing in a new CPU Cooler (eg. Akasa 968)

The board resets my settings even if a set default processor and memory speeds.
