In Reply to: RE: Bios says one thing and Cpuid says another posted by Dawnrazor on September 03, 2009 at 13:43:36
This bios in the GA-G31M-ES2L is a bit different than I remember other bios being.
I set it to the correct settings and then it seems to reboot and change always to 6 X 266.
Cpuid is right.
What do I need to do to have it go lower than 266??
What am I missing?
Follow Ups:
If it resets itself to the default FSB (266), that indicates that whatever you tried to set it to was too unstable. I've had that happen to me on the GA-G31M-S2L board as well. IOW, you're probably not going to be able to set it to 140 right off the bat with a new board and cpu. Try playing with it at 266 for awhile (possibly days) and then reduce it slowly. So try 200 and play with that for awhile and then try 150 and play with that and then finally go to 140. You may not get there until you've "burned it in" for awhile - perhaps a week or more.I should also add, you're kind of lucky that it just changes the FSB and then continues to boot. With my board, if I pick an unstable setting (like voltage too low or something) then it doesn't boot at all and is completely hosed. I then have to remove the CMOS battery and reset the CMOS and start all over. Using the CMOS reset jumpers doesn't even work.

Hey Edward,
I thought it might be my impatience and that it takes time for the components to settle. (when I asked my gamer computer geek he said that things usually got worse over time and when I asked, "...wouldnt it be the opposite because I am underclocking things?" he just scoffed and we agreed to disagree...
I will have to go slow then. Thanks for letting me know.
FWIW, I DID have to use the cmos jumpers a few times when I set the voltage too low.
Bummer that your board behaved that way, but sounds like you have it where you want it.
It looks like we are at about the same progress on a cMP, I am using the S2L.I had to set CPU Host Frequency to 170 to get my M.I.T setting to stop resetting. VID at .85000 wouldn't allow reboot and had to clear CMOS so put it at .95000 for the time being to move forward. I figured I would try lowering once chapters 5-12 are done. So far all is stable through half of the optimizations.
Using the website for your build sure makes you appreciate the hard work that was put into it, thanks to all that were involved.
Brad
