So, I've just experienced the oddest thing of all time and anyone with an e1705, an e1705 flashed to a m1710 or an m1710 should really try to reproduce this. It's not harmful, just, odd.
I was playing with my dell disconnecting things and powering on to see what error codes the bios would give me or if it would even boot and what codes I got then, mainly to see and to match them up to an online database.
Anyhow story aside, I put it back together after ATTEMPTING to boot with the video card. didn't work obviously, got the error code, and put it all back together. Upon normal booting I went into the bios to change my settings again, and my cpu was literally, no shat, running at 3.50ghz. Since when is there a 21X multiplier for the C2D?
Anyways I went to boot, got barely into windows before it rebooted but I saw in rmclock before it crashed miserably that it had downclocked. Since it defaulted to 2.33ghz on bios setting reset, that shouldn't have happened if it was overclocked...plus it definately, definately seemed faster.
I'm going to try to reproduce the 'issue' I guess, when I get a new video card soon. Then I'll take a pic of it and put it here for verification in the bios, unless it was some wierd thing, in which case this thread will quickly die.
I'm just curious if other people with T7200s and such can reproduce this, cause this might just have strangely unlocked the cpu's multiplier due to some oddity in the bios.
Anyone with any clue as to what happened?
I didn't use my custom motherboard to overclock the fsb, it was at 667mhz, limit of the chipset anyways. And overclocking was definately NOT on when this happened.
