Hi all,
I have some bad experiences with my new MoBo.
First off, it will sometimes hang before the BIOS when rebooting. I have to power the system off and restart it to get it to boot.
Second, it seems to be ignoring any attempt to overclock. I have locked the PCI to 100mhz. I have manually set the RAM to 5-5-5-12 and (G)MCH to 400mhz. Performance Enhance is standard.
SMM is set to auto right now. None of the other settings (2.00D, 2.66D, 3.33D) seem to give me the right frequency (400mhz?) in CPU-Z.
The settings above all seem to work just fine. However, any attempt to adjust the CPU frequency results in a system hang, or a reboot that completely ignores any setting. I'll have it set to 400MHZ and it'll reboot fine, but still report 333*9.
Oh, this is using a E8400 45nm Core 2 Duo. Running the F4 (latest) bios revision.
I have not tried the Gigabyte overclocking tool for Vista yet.
