HT/NB values set in BIOS don't take effect (990fxa-ud3 Rev. 4.0)

I noticed that when I reboot now the computer turns off completely, and turns itself back on. Everything works and seems fine, but it used to do like a warm reboot before. Any ideas why?

APM needs to be enabled and CPB set to your OC speed. That should stop it.

It didn't. I had APM back enabled along with c&q, c1e, c6, svm. HPC off. I turned on CPB and set it to 18.5 which is what my CPU mp is at. Same thing. Only improvement I think I saw once is that when I leave the BIOS without making changes it doesn't shut off/on and then boot, it just continues the bootup. Before that would also power off/on. :/ Could there be anything else?

That trick might not work with the FSB OC. It usually does for giga boards. If it keeps booting at the right overclock then I think you'll have to live with it.

Alright thanks for the help. I'm happy with the 240 so I'll live with it.

could this info also apply to the MSI 990fxa? trying to see what i can do with it.
