NF3 Bios WONT SAVE VOLTAGE!!!!! WTF!!!

MaTtsPc · 18-December-05, 12:38 AM

Ok check this out! Ok so i wanna overclock right and im in the bios and i start playing around and save some setting and everything saves but the voltage ot says its set what i save it on but i when check the readings in the bios they are still at stock

Just the cpu,chipset,ram its all the same.. It dont mater what i try i can put 120%x1.55volts and F10 save and exit and go back in and its still at 1.51V? This is on the DFI UT 250Gb board... does anyone have a clue what is wrong here? IM LOST!!! i have never had problems like this...

try a new battery yet?

MaTtsPc · 18-December-05, 01:00 AM

Nope but i dont think its that because it saves everything else but voltage!!

Matt

Nerdz · 18-December-05, 01:40 AM

What about re flashing the bios or updating it?

turbopsi · 18-December-05, 03:42 AM

Is cool n quiet enabled?

MaTtsPc · 18-December-05, 12:53 PM

Ive tryed both cool n quit on and off, reflashing LOL you must not of seen my other thered lol.. I already tried that and put a Nfroce 4 bios on it and almost lost it , Lucky me i have a Nforce4 too for my main rig and swaped the bios chip out and reflashed it back to the Nf3 bios... luck luck luck! Nope but still no go on anything ive tried alot of bios's from tic tacs to joes blows! i cant figure it out!

EDIT: Everything will save just fine but ram,cpu and chipset.. Even the AGP voltage will save! WHATS WRONG????????

Newer Athlon 64's have a built in voltage limiter to "prevent damage". You have to force the voltage on it by using a voltage setting other than "Startup vCore setting" or whatever it's called. What are all of the voltage options available to you in your BIOS?

MaTtsPc · 18-December-05, 02:28 PM

No this is Socket 754 and here is a screen shot of whats happaning! What i have circled in red wont change! I can set it to anything below in the voltage part but it wont save!

I was digging around on the DFI forums, and i found a thread that might be of help here. It sounds like there are more threads that discuss the problem, and i'll post links to them if i find them.
I'm using the nF3 250 GB, but i've never run across the problem that you are having...on a side note, though: while i was looking for info on your problem, i found a thread that told me how to get my mic-in to work (finally! i thought that i just had a bum port)

EDIT
Ok, found another thread that goes into a bit more detail here. Hope something in there helps you.

Well thanks alot for all your help man i guess theres nothing you can do about this problem huh? As there is no answers to this thing! I guess i just dont overclock at all!

If anyone else has any info on this mater pls post thanks!

There are answers...both threads have multiple suggestions for getting around the problem. Don't give up, start with the second link that i posted and read through the suggestions. Then, just try one at a time until you find what works.

The easiest one that i saw listed was to save and exit your bios, then re-enter the bios (before comp boots into the OS) and save and exit again...do this for a total of 2-3 times before you let the computer boot into the OS. It seems to work for some folks. Take your time and try not to get frustrated...i'll keep my fingers crossed for ya

Ive tried all of the above for the last 2 days, Ive tried 15 diff bios's from first to the newest one and from the newest one back to the first, Modded bios's from tic tac ,oskerhu or whatever, And even tried joe blows bios! lol... I even have gone to the far and put a Nforce 4 bios on and took the chip out and put it in a NF4 board and reflashed it back to the newest NF3 bios out!

Ive tried everything! Maybe ill just have to Hard mod the cpu ram and chipset... If anyone has any links or anything to do the hard mods pls let me know! thanks

Instead of 1.55v and 10% try 1.5v and 20% or something like that, have you tried another PSU?

Other than that I got nothing..RMA time?

Damn, when I had that problem I just didn't hit the enter key. I used the plus or minus to change the voltage then when I got what I wanted, tabbed and F10 to reboot.

What he's trying to say, is that, are you properly saving your settings?

The BIOS on my friends MSI K8N neo 2 platinum was odd like that too.
