I built my friend a P4 system this summer, with a BD7-II. We could overclock to 133Mhz fsb, for a no-sweat 2.13Ghz on his 1.6A, but the board couldn't retain the overclocked settings after a shutdown or restart. We updated the BIOS and still no avail.
We even RMA'd the board and got a new one from NewEgg, and it still had the same problem- so he eventually replaced it with an Asus P4B533, and the BD7-II is in its box right now, only used for a few months. Any way to fix this?
He offered to sell it for $25 just to get rid of it.
I figure- if C1 stepping 1.8A's are more abundant next month, I could pick one up for ~$140, and this board for $25- and along with my 512MB stick of XMS 3500 (getting newest revision after last stick had problems), could hit 3Ghz+ speeds (assuming that I can fix it that is)?
I could double my Mhz for $155
The low voltages on the board are a concern- volt mods available?
And is it capable of doing the 200Mhz mem speeds to utilize the PC-3500?
