Intel P4 Proc Burn In???

[kevinb2112]

I have a 2.8c processor on an Asus P4P800SE MB. I have been overclocking the proc since I owned it. I have OC'ed from 3.0-3.36, and currently run stable and cool at 3.36. I had a problem when I swapped out a PS, and during trouble shooting clocked the CPU back to 2.8 and it would'nt boot??? I clocked it to 3.0 and it booted but had problems, and when I clocked it back to 3.36 it all worked fine???

My question is: Is there some kind of burn in, or a kind of speed memory that once the CPU is run at a certain speed and config, it wants to stay there???

P.S. I have not changed memory timings or any voltages.

CONFIG: INTEL 2.8c Asus P4P800SE, 1GB Mushkin PC3200, Nvidia 6800gt, Audigy2, Thermaltake 480PS

Thanks

if you still had you memory divider set to 5/4 then you would be underclocking the RAM, which might cause some instability...

There is no burn in.

It's probably just a temp issue with swapping the PS.

yup.. agree with the RAM divider theory
