Major new barton problems!
I just got my 3000+ batron, and I can not raise the voltages on it at all. If I do it will result in the computer rebooting after a few seconds. I can overclock it to ~2350MHz at stock volts, but thats not NEARLY enough for me.

I have a NF7-S rev2 and a enermax 550 watt PSU.

Does anyone have any idea what to do?

What are the temps?
Edit- You running the newest NF7-S bios? If so go back to the older one, it's the last I used with it and it was fine.

The newest NF7-s bios works fine here... 2500+ at 3200+ (1.75v).

It crashed after loading a folding client, so I needed to drop it down to ~2250MHz. I alos dropped the voltage to 1.8 and its working fine, even though its lower than stock volts, and I'm overclocking past stock speeds.


EDIT: oh yeah, its at 40C under load with CPUburn and F@H.

You make a typo there with the voltage? At 2.25 it should be fine with 1.7 at the most

Yeah, something's definitely wrong there. Can you manually set it at 1.65v?

I can, and it will work fine all the way up to 1.8V

I cant go past 2.3GHz stabley though. The highest I can push it is 2302MHz.

I really want to go higher though, I had my other chip at 2.16V

Interesting. I did try it once and it was stable at 2.4 with 1.8v. Not sure why it don't like it there for you.

Thats pretty wierd... yeah try going back to the 1.8 bios, I'm sure you've cleared your CMOS via switching the jumper to position 2-3 instead of 1-2, if you havent obviously go do so.

I'm so out of ideas right now, I really couldn't help you any more... maybe a faulty chip?

I alreayd tried clearing the CMOS, and now I just tried flashing the bios. Neither worked.

The most I can get it to work at completely stable is 2280MHz. Thats real sad for a 3000+.

I guess I'm going back to the 2.5GHz Tbred.

What's the point? F@H runs when idle, CPU burn runs at at least normal process priority....? Or are you running them at seperate times?

I'm just making sure no cycles are wasted.

Its confirmed, my mobo is shot. I tried 3 different procs in it, and they all would refuse to be stable at anything over 1.775V.

Can't blame the processor for not being able to overclock (well you can, but you can't return a CPU for those reasons.)
