I just got my new NF7-S mb installed and my 2600xp-m. I have 2 fans to use, a thermaltake volcano 11+ xaser edition, and a speeze falcon rock. I also have installed corsair value ram 512 in slot 3 (recommended by manual to go from 3-1). It booted up right away at a stock speed of about 700megahertz. I flashed the bios and tried uping the clock speed to the normal clock speed of a 2600xp of 2gigs. Shouldnt be a problem right?
WRONG... BEEEP BEEP... BEEP BEEEP... thats what i heard as it booted. So i changed it back to 1 gig, and it booted w/ no problems (200 x 5). i checked the temp w/ the thermaltake and it was like 40 C at 1 gig! i dont understand why i cant even get the clock up to stock speed, but i am suspecting a heating problem. But this xaser cooled by 2400xp (not mobile!) at 2 gigs no problem at 43C, so i am stuck. Any suggestions??? Thanks.
