odd nf7-s sound!?

arnoldma · May 22, 2003

hmm, i cant boot up and be stable at 206fsb, but when i try to boot up at 207 or above it 1st saves the bios settings, then when it reboots, it makes a wierd sound... sounds like the sound a fire trunk makes or a police car or whatever.

i tried upping the voltage of both the cpu and ram

i even tried to lower the multi and up the fsb, but it still dont work.

can any1 let me know what this sound means please? and also do u think its my cpu or my ram or anything else i can get around this? thanks alot, bye.

have you got the latest bios, the one which fixes the sata corruption...

arnoldma · May 22, 2003

yeah, 1.4 beta, but i dont even use SATA...

glock19owner · May 22, 2003

have you upped the VDD voltage?..and that noise is your system telling you that you have OCed to high...

Usally takes around 1.7v's or so to run stable past 200FSB...

whats the default vdd? and is it ok to up the voltage of the chipset while on dfault NB cooling and no SB cooling?

kamz · May 23, 2003

many people have crackling noises after playing for periods of time, this is usually cos sb gets very hot, people have overcome this by having a case fan blowin onto it and graphics card, or buy placing the yellow zalman nb cooler, that seems to sort the problem out... i have exp the problem after playing operation flashpoint let the system cool down and no problems, will be getting one of those little zalmans soon....

arnoldma · May 23, 2003

what about the default NB cooler? is that good nuff for overclocking?

edit: http://theoverclockingstore.co.uk/productinfo.php?codeid=800761 <---- is that the one u r talkin about?

I've had this a couple times. It seems to just happen randomly.

I just pull the PSU plug. Plug it back in a restart and she's a-ok. Don't hafta change a thing

glock19owner · May 23, 2003

and for them to run past 207 stable they will have to change the VDD voltage...and it should be located in the same area were you change the memory and CPU voltage...

As for activily cooling the SB, yes that did help the cracking noise from the SB overheating when playing games for a while...good thing to do is get a crystal orb and mount it on the SB...

kamz · May 23, 2003

cool the sb with a zalman there really cheap and will prolong the motherboards life

arnoldma · May 23, 2003

the crystal orb is like £5 cheaper then the zalman yellow thing on that site....

also how do i mount it on the SB? cuz it doesnt have any holes or mounting things ont eh SB...

edit: is the crystal orb quiet?

glock19owner · May 23, 2003

I cant even hear my CROB running with the case fans...and to mount it...put the thermal paste on the SB, but do not cover the 4 corners...out a tiny drop of super glue on each corner and then mount the CROB...give it about 5 or 10 minutes to dry...if done right you shouldn't be able to move the CROB...

arnoldma · May 24, 2003

is super glue alright? and if i use super glue how im i gonna take it off when i want to?

Maybe this is your problem.

It's mine whenever I want to use <11 multipliers.

arnoldma · May 25, 2003

i never use less than 11 multiplier... but i think its the new bios for sure, its somehow o/c controlled more
