My overclock will not show up! It used to...any ideas?

[scheibler1]

I ran my intel E2180 for the longest time @ 333x9 with a 2.40 ram multi in 5:6 gtetting 2.997ghz. After I installed my logitech MX518 mouse and G15 keyboard I noticed my overclock was gone the day after! It was down below stock clocks b/c I use 9x multipier rather then 10x!

My ram doesn't seem to want to go anyhigher then 200mhz in CPU-Z

I reset all bios to optimized defaults and started over making sure everything was correct. I set it to 333....all that stuff already mentioned above. CPU-Z reports 200.0 Bus Speed, 800mhz FSB, 9x Multiplier, and 1800mhz Core Speed!

Memory speed is reported at 266mhz 4-4-410-14 in the first column and 400mhz 5-5-5-15-21 in the second.

Should I reset my bios by removing the mobo battery and try again?

ANY IDEAS WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. If I can't fix this I will have to upgrade my cpu to take advantage of a new video card such as the 9800gx2 or ATI R700, and Nvidia G200

BTW, I have all the power savings features off and had prevously had a ROCK STABLE OC!

cpu-z is currently wrong. you have to go back to 1.38 I believe it was to get correct readings once you've deactivated speedstep and are sure to be running at your desired overclock.

Like I said, I have disabled all the power saving features and don't know how it could be a cpu-z software bug. I have already used the program before and it always has been correct.

I am going to just try running coretemp(have always run it but never knew it told you your oc or everest. Thanks guys

Others have discovered and reported on this forum that the DS3L sometimes goes whack (I have five DS3L's and have not experienced this issue) and the only solution as far as they could figure is to ensure that when you remove the CMOS battery, jumper the CMOS to clear it, and simultaneously UNPLUG the PSU power cord from the wall.

I forget the last individual who documented this, but they discovered that simply "flipping the switch" on the back of the PSU was not enough when they wanted to FULLY clear their BIOS. Unplug the PSU from the wall in addition to pulling the battery and jumpering the clear CMOS jumpers.

Good luck!

Make sure you do not have a usb external drive plugged in at boot and the fsb reset issues the P35 boards have wont bother you. Try rebooting without any usb devices plugged in and see if this is the issue.
