ok i'm overclocking this old comp i got just to help teach me whats the best fan setup, stuff i should or shouldnt do when i get my custom rig etc...
its a Amd Athlon XP 1500+ 1333mhz real clock. yeah pathetic
But i've got it stable at 1,950 mhz (its the max i could overclock it in my bios) 39C mobo temp 48C cpu temp. 3 intake fans
now after leaving folding@home overnight to stress test it, i shutdown the comp and put in 2 exhast fans and went into my bios and my min and max DEC number was totally different.
my max DEC number was 135 which is what i had it on, but now i could set it to a max of 165. i set to 160 (yeah i'm insane) and restarted, i had a clock of 2.5ghz! 41C mobo temp 53C cpu temp. did some pi testing, put folding@home on real time for a few hours. totally stable (cpu reached 62C then went down to 56C after i exited folding)
Now this is where it sucks. when i restarted my computer my DEC numbers reset, my max changed to 135. nothing i do changes it back to 165.
what the hell would change my max dec numbers and then change em back?
