Heres the deal... bought a E6600ES with this pos BADAXE 304 board... the overclock menu is there... and it used to work. i don't know if any mods were previously done to the board but it was running at 3.7ghz stable under water.

I had some bios hang ups so i figured somethings up with this old bios....updated new bios... still hang ups...but now it boots at stock speed no matter what settings i set in the bios... even the memory i set to 5-5-5-15 and it shows up at 5-4-4-13 which according to the board is SPD.

No hang ups with bios now... could of been the keyboard or

ty usb support. but still with these settings i keep getting 2.4ghz and 1.16vcore...measured with dmm

Bios Setting:

vcore 1.55
1333
25%
mch = 1.6
fsb = max v

These settings manage to save in bios but windows and cpu-z still reports 2.4ghz.... the memory on the other hand gets reset to spd every reboot.

HELP!!!
 
The BADAXE range (1 & 2) are quite odd when it comes to BIOS flashing. Intel insists that a full reset must be performed after such an activity. You will find instructions on their site.

I've read that polling the CPU for temps using everest, speedfan etc can cause the vCore to drop to default - a problem if you're OC'ing. Are you running anything like this?
 
i have no utilities running at start up,,,, just fresh installation of windows.... i pulled out the battery and unplugged it for 5hrs and the cmos didn't reset or nothing... jesus how long do igotta keep the damn thing out
 
Quickest way to reset is power out, battery out, then hold in power button for 30 secs.
 
i cant remember exactly what it was, but there is an issue with bios flashing (as i guess you have found out) check the intel forum over at xs, there was something over there about it. on the top of the page there is a link to "intel info and support", which is just another xs intel forum, it might be there.
