First Post... long time reader.
I hope I explain this correctly, as I'm soo frustrated now, I'm sure I'll leave something out.
I just got a new ABIT TH7II-RAID with 1.8a Processor.
I seem to be stuck @ 117FSB = 2.1Ghz. (1.6v)
I cannot for the life of me figure out why I can't go any higher.
If I try 133FSB even with 1.75v (Bios reports 1.7) it either freezes during booting WinXP, or I get errors during bootup. This is using the BETA 77 Bios.
Frustrated I bought an AVC Sunflower Fan, got it today, installed it with AS-II and still the same thing!
Temps @ 1.8Ghz or 2.1Ghz are 40c idle and 47c Full Load.
This was with either with the Retail Fan or SunFlower!
Something doesn't seem right.. can that be possible?????
I have tried ECC and NON-ECC RIMMS, both yield the same result.
117FSB is 100% stable @ 1.6v but if I try anything more even @ 1.75v it's unstable.
In the bios you can choose Auto, 400, or 300Mhz for RAM, what am I suppose to use?? Am I suppose to step down to 300Mhz for 133FSB, or can I run Auto? At 117FSB I use Auto and it's 100% stable. I've tried Auto, 400Mhz and 300Mhz and nothing works for 133FSB.
I'm lost now.. no idea what else to try, so that's why I'm asking here.. can anyone help me out??
What kills me is.. @ 117FSB everything is out of spec.
I'm not running the "FIX setting" for PCI and AGP ports so they are overclocked also... and the system is 100% stable, but if i try 133FSB the AGP and PCI are in spec and it's not stable at all even @ 1.75v.
Please help, I know there's a few people with this type of system here and maybe they can shed some light on this for me.
