Hello all....
I finally got my RMA Mobo from that ebay mobo store and replaced the temp Asus board that I put in...anyhoo...I has pissed to find out that the people had taped over the ethernet connector because it wasn't working!! How in the world am I going to return a defective product with another one?!?!?! I figured I waste more and more time (and money) if I RMA'd it again and wait for another one so I went to my local comp store and got an ethernet card, no biggie I guess....
Anyhoo.....I have been tying to read up on messing with the bios settings in order to have a stable system at decent clock speeds, currently running a pentium 2.4C. I'm slightly increasing my FSB from 200 to 205 and when I tried to reboot I got an error (enter boot disk message)....ok so I double checked my boot sequence to see if anything was unsual and of course nothing that I know of was. Also tried increasing my V core and ratio but nothing made a difference still getting the same problem.....this is supposed to be one of the best boards for overclocking this CPU...what am I doing wrong?? Or not doing right?
Also when I replaced the board to the Abit my CPU temps increased about 13C!! I have a Zalman 9500 a very good CPU coolor so it shouldn't be so high especially since I am unable to overclock....did I apply the heat goop incorrectly? Or does a mobo change make a big difference in CPU cooling/heating issues?
