Comment:
When I set the bios overclock option to 20% (max is 30% and the motherboard can support up to 3.6GHz) windows does not detect the SoundMax codec anymore and this is the only problem I get. (the CPU frquence is 3.35GHz now)
Then if I set the overclock to 10% windows now detects it.
Can this be figured out or is just a limitation of the soundmax audio codec. Some of my pc info:
AsusP4P800s-X Intel P4 2.8GHz
Sound Max AD1888 6-channel audio codec
GeForce FX5200
(with the latest updates for bios, video and sound from asus website) Thanks in advance.

Reply: (edit)Look for an option in the BIOS to lock the AGP speed at 66MHz...this will also lock the PCI speed at 33MHz. At a 20% overclock (w/o the lock), the PCI bus is running at approx 40MHz & that is too far outta spec for your PCI & IDE devices, video card, & onboard devices ASUS A7N8X-X
Athlon XP 1800+
8.5 x 200MHz

Well I can lock the AGP/PCI speed at 66.6/33.3 but through the manual overclocking option and I dont want to manually adjust other settings, so can`t use the overclock 20% option with AGP/PCI lock.
I will keep running with the overclock 10%, unless a software that can lock the AGP/PCI speed exist and I don`t know any. Have a nice week!
