Default SuperPi 18s to 30s...??
Hey all,

So I've been running my system as described below. I tried overclocking to 3.6, and upped the Vcore voltage to ~1.47, but that was not enough.

So I gave up that dream and went back to 3.4ghz. Now my computer resets the bios on cold boots, and my SuperPi 1M time went up from 18s to 30s.

I set everything back to 3.4ghz at 1.437v Vcore, and +0.1 g(MCH) as it was before.

Is this enough info for anyone to give me an idea of what happened? Thanks

Yeah- it's unstable and is resetting to defaults on reboot- you need to clock down or volt up some more.

Guess I damaged the hardware if its not stable at the previous settings it was stable at.

Oh well. Thanks Babrbarossa
