Hi my name is Alan. I just put together a new rig.
Gigabyte GAX48-DS5
Intel Q9550
8gbs of GSkill PC8500
Vista 64bit Ultimate
Corsair PSU 620W Modular)
Shapphire HD4850 Card

After I got it all together I tried to OC the Q9550 to 3.4GHz and it worked fine, I monitored the temps, all was well, then I tried to back it down to 3.2Ghz becuase I really did not see much of a difference. For some unknown reason the MIT ( Intelligent Tweaker) will not hold my settings anymore, no matter what configuration I use, it always goes back to default. When I add .05 it even goes below factory setting for the CPU to 2.67GHz (2.83 is default.) when I take away the 0.5 it goes back to 2.83 but thats it. No other settings will hold. F10 save and exit,press Y, does not save. As you can see by post I am new at this. Please understand, I am 65 years old and have built quite a few computers but none for gaming and none with the amount of settings in the BIOS. Please help me, this is very frustrating for me, I appreciate your time and effort. EDIT I just noticed the reason for this but do not know how to fix it, The host Clock control goes from enabled to disabled everytime I reboot. All the other settings stay the same but this one. I change it to enabled , put in a value of 400 X 8 plus add .05 = 3.4GHz. When I reboot after trying to save it disables the Host Clock control and the OC wont hold, it goes down to 2.67, if I take out the .05 and leave the 400 it will go to the default 2.83GHz. I am lost.
Thankyou.
