I just removed, re-pasted and reinstalled my Barton 2500 into my NF7-S 2.0 Bios 1.7 mobo and the system booted up as 1100 Mhz (I didn't write down the bus/multiplier it was using at that moment). When I checked the CPU setup in the Bios, it was still set to what I had as user defined before I removed it: 11 x 200.
I then selected Barton 2500 as the CPU, saved the bios, rebooted and the CPU speeds were correct for stock 2500. I then redid my user defined settings and all was well again.
Why did these setting revert just because I removed the CPU? I vaguely remember the same thing happening right out of the box for this mobo too.
PS: The reinstall dropped my idle temp by 3C.
