Hiya folks, keep the good work up!
Have recently assembled my new computer (see sig for specs).
My aim is to overclock the setup without having to add any more cooling, currently in a NZXT Tempest case with 5x 120mm case fans.
Before I start, I removed the northbridge silentpipe cooler and added abit of artic silver thermal paste, I didnt like the look of the plastic(?) ones that came with the board.. and without having upped the (G)
MCH OverVoltage, I think its abit hot (this when tweaking in
bios), although I can hold my finger on it for more then 10s

.
Anywho back to my problem! :<
Currently I cant apply kind of change to the following settings in the "MB Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T.) section without the computer rebooting an extra time and disabeling them (and running factory defaults).
Changes in these fields cause a reset, marked with an R.

MCH OverVoltage Control : Normal
Loadline Calibration : Auto
CPU Voltage Control : Normal
Normal CPU Vcore : 12000
I was able previously to OC to 3.6 ghz (400 x 9) but forgot to set the System voltage control to manual, so the motherboard set the vcore to close to 1.5 and cpu temp rose to 70 celcius. Has the cpu or motherboard been damaged perhaps?
I can stil boot into windows @ 3.16 ghz and everything works fine.
But now after having reset the motherboard and disabled C1E and speedstep I cannot change anything of the settings marked (R) without a restart and them beeing reset to disabled.
It even resets if I just enable CPU Host Clock Control and leave
fsb at 333.
Any suggestions? Any additional information needed from me?
Best regards
Marcus
