Ok, lately, I've been having some major issues with my Abit IC-7 board. I've ran it flawlessly for months, but lately, it's been daftly horrid in performance.
First off, I can't even seem to be able to run it overclocked at all if I want it to post. For at least 3 months, I was able to run it totally stable at 250 FSB at a memory divider of 5:4 with Kingston HyperX PC3500 and Samsung PC3200 modules in dual channel mode.
Lastly, something is definitely wrong with my Northbridge heatsink fan. The RPM's jump insanely all over the board, for reasons unknown. It's not due to overheating because I normally run WinBond Hardware Doctor which registers a system temperature of maybe 24C when idle and a CPU temperature of 36C when idle. Sometimes my NB fan runs fine at about 5,200 RPM's and it sounds fine. I'm absolutely lost on this issue.
Any thoughts on these conflicting issues to performance would be greatly appreciated. I'm fresh out of ideas as to why any of this could be happening, other than wear-and-tear.
