I googled and my Barton should be unlocked based to manufacture date, but i'm not successful so far.
My mother board is ASUS A7N8X, PSU comes with Antec Sonata is 380Watt TruePower http://www.antec.com/specs/true380_spe.html.
At stock speed, default auto setting, software reports vCore is 1.69v instead of 1.65, and +5v is +4.56v, CPU temp is 55, is this normal?
Tried to increase multiplier, did nothing to the speed
Tried to increase FSB, did not finish POST
something is wrong, is it my CPU or PSU or motherboard? please help!
also I recently upgraded to BFG 6800GT OC video card, the system has to "warm up": if I enable quick boot, right after the quick memory check, the dual LCD monitors go standby or in the middle of windows bootup; so I have to disable quick boot, let it run through the full memory check, it takes a while for 2GB, and everything is fine, didn't have this problem with Ati 9000pro.
