humorman Posted June 17, 2007 CID Share Posted June 17, 2007 Hello I had a 2.8ghz P4 in my pc and I took it out and put in a 3.2ghz but seems to be running at 2.8ghz still? I checked my system info and says 3.2ghz then 2.8ghz under that. I have a over clocking program came with my mother board and I tryed to over clock to 3.2 and pc shut off. Any idea's why this is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntz Posted June 17, 2007 CID Share Posted June 17, 2007 Download CPU-Z.then run it and post what you get here. Also what motherboard do you have and what overclocking program are you trying to use? Most people use the BIOS to overclock their CPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humorman Posted June 18, 2007 Author CID Share Posted June 18, 2007 It says I have a 3.2 but core is running at 2.8GHz . I had a 2.8GHz and thinking it is still set for that but don't know how to change? I found out how to copy it to htm so here is a link to the info http://humorvids.com/cpuz.htm and I looked up my info on main board here is a link http://www.sis.com/products/sis661fx_features.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntz Posted June 18, 2007 CID Share Posted June 18, 2007 That is your chipset maker,I need to know who made the motherboard. You are going to probably have to go in your BIOS and change your core speed and maybe your CPU multiplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlewis23 Posted June 19, 2007 CID Share Posted June 19, 2007 from what i could find the maximum that chipset supports is 2.8GHz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humorman Posted June 19, 2007 Author CID Share Posted June 19, 2007 I don't see anywere saying it only supports 2.8ghz in manual I found they say they tested this board with a 3.0ghz. Can you show me a link to were you found that? I also have another motherboard if needed but not sure it works all the great its my brothers and he was having issues with some of them.

coknuck Posted June 22, 2007 CID Share Posted June 22, 2007 I have the same SIS chip set and 3.2 P4 as you except mine is a 775LGA. The chip doesn't hurt my core Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humorman Posted June 23, 2007 Author CID Share Posted June 23, 2007 Yea I figured that it would or could because I didn't buy it thinking on just using 2.8. But I am unsure why it won't go 3.2 or isn't running at that. I used the super step program and put my speed up to were 3.2 should be and same as before it shut the pc down. I went into bios and didn't find anything but same thing as that program I think any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted June 23, 2007 CID Share Posted June 23, 2007 Do you have the same board as me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntz Posted June 23, 2007 CID Share Posted June 23, 2007 Would clearing the BIOS help him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted June 23, 2007 CID Share Posted June 23, 2007 Now that you mention it I did clear the Bios with the jumper and it cleared a lot of my proplens up. I've been racking my brain (which ain't saying much) because I had the same problem and I'm not sure if that fixed it but it won't hurt.

humorman Posted June 23, 2007 Author CID Share Posted June 23, 2007 Yea I cleared the bios 2 times but I am not sure if I did it with the new chip in or with old. Because we couldn't get new chip or old one to work for awhile new chip froze on windows start and old one just would do nothing anymore. But maybe I will try that again can't hurt lol.

Buntz Posted June 23, 2007 CID Share Posted June 23, 2007 Is there a newer version of the BIOS for your board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humorman Posted June 23, 2007 Author CID Share Posted June 23, 2007 I think so but I can't ever get one loaded always says failed to connect with bios update program I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntz Posted June 23, 2007 CID Share Posted June 23, 2007 I have only did it once myself on the ASUS board using a ASUS program. There are other way to update the BIOS. I am not sure how to do it ,so I will let someone else tell you how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
