So, um, yeah, did you ever find out that the max on your CPU is about 3.5, but it sends very odd / bad voltage spikes after like 15 min? Well I saw this and immediately de-clocked back to stock settings, and then back up to 3.2 on a 1:1 ratio where I knew there to be no problems. (It was at 5:4 for seeing how far the CPU could go)
Problem is that I’m running value select, and I was thinking that if I couldn’t have really fast clock speed, I would try to shorten my memory timings. That was apparently very stupid of me.
Well anyway, I dropped the ram from 2.5 7 3 3 (I’m guessing that was the limit) to 2.5 7 2 2. Hit F10 then ENTER, and got a continual tone out of the sys speaker that repeats every few secs... its hard for me to tell, the tornado just about drowns it out. So I guess I need to know if the ram is still good, how to reset the settings back to default so that it can boot again, and all of that stuff. I know I screwed my sys big time, and that is why I have two backups in this room alone.
