Doing some basic overclocking for the first time, i've read plenty, and i have a comfortable grasp on it.
My system:
Vista64Ultimate
E7300 Core2duo @ 10x300(currently, hopefully this thread can get me more.)
4g Cruical Ballistix 800 4-4-4-12 (2x2g)
Bad Axe 2 (B975xBX2) <-- bios 2838 <--(frustrating)
Simple overclock so far, Turned off C1E and Watchdog in config Bios.
Stock Vcore @ 300x10. Memory at a 1:1 divider;so even pushing it to 333 will not even be close to its standard speed;. I want to push it to 333x10 as i beleive it can do this easily.
Problem is, When i turn off EIST, it locks the CPU multiplyer to 6 Strangely enough. So currently, i have EIST left on which leaves me at 300x10 at all times. This is very confusing to me. Next problem. CPU Vcore is set to Default(1.325) seems a bit high for stock on a 45nm chip but thats another story. Whats Very frustrating to me, is that when i Change the Vcore from default to ANYTHING, even 1.325 ....(same as default setting?? ) it locks my multiplyer back down to 6(thats with my current OC, not pushing the FSB to my desired 333.. one step at a time here) EIST on with a higher Vcore also locks the Multiplyer to 6. so the only time i have a solid 10x multiplyer is when EIST is on and VCore is Default.
I've been looking for info on this and i cannot find anything, sounds like most people disable Watchdog,C1e and EIST and overclock fine.
Is the most recent Bios Bad? Is there something i am missing?
Please help, even if i do not end up OCing this chip higher i want to learn why EIST is acting so weird on this board.
Any help would be greatly Apreciated, any suggestions, if you think its something completly different(i am new at this) let me know. i'm pulling hair out here. ='(
