boring overclocking tidbit of the day So my computer was working fine until I actually starting playing games on it. Doom3 froze up frequently. At first I thought it was the memory timings. So I laxed them to 2-3-3-7 at 220mhz. That seemed to work out. Then Tiger Woods 2K5 froze on me, apparently my CPU vcore needed a boost from 1.55V to 1.575V. Anyways that worked for about a day, then it froze again.

That pissed me off cuz beforehand my comp ran every benchmark/stress test fine at those settings. My CPU is supposed to be one of them "special" ones that can do 3.3GHz easy! Anyways, I finally noticed that my 3.3/5/12V rails were way low. Abit is notorious for undervolting their boards, but shouldn't be that bad. Turns out that my OTES fan had failed and the unit was just heating up the rest of the board. Removed it, reapplied some AS5 on my CPU, and so far everything is working great. Thank god, cuz I was actually thinking of RMAing my PSU.

2.4C@3.3GHz 275 FSB, 1GB XMS3500 running at 5:4 (220MHz) w/ 2-3-2-6 timings.

Abit still owes me an OTES unit.
