260Mhz bus on a KT133? Possible? Help me verify these Screenshots.

[Dulanic]

This person is saything they have a KT133 running 130.... this is unheard of without going insane with stuff like the Turbo PLL chip.... what do you guys think? Take a look

anything is possible

I'm sure it's possible. I've had mine running at 119 and that's with a regular old heasink/fan, nothing special. I have a 750, not a KT133, but I don't think that would make much of a difference.

I noticed that it's an Athlon Classic.

Thats not a KT-133 board. The KA7-100 was based on Via's KX-133 I believe. That guy got shot down pretty good. I can't begin to imagine faking all those screen shots, if you could, it wouldn't be worth the trouble I think so I would tend to believe him at this point.

 

[Dulanic]

Thanks for telling me its classic athlon I didnt notice.

 

[Dulanic]

He said it was a Abit RAID.... thanks for pointing me in the right direction Now I can rip him.

There was a ABit KX133 Raid. I think it was the KA7-100.

I was able to get my Abit KA7 to boot up Windows and run some benches at 127 fsb before my GFD came in.

 

[eyor]

why wouldn't it be possible? I can get my KT7 FSB up to 140 mhz...

 

[Muerto]

He said that he has a KA7-100 running at 130, which is a KX-133. Although they are basically the same chipset. The only difference is that the KT-133 is socket A instead of slot A. But I still wouldn't believe those screen shots right away. 130MHz is undeard of on any Athlon motherboard, as you mentioned earlier.

 

[Fumiup]

Want to see a KX with an FSB of 155Mhz (310Mhz in Athlon DDR doubletalk)?

MUAHAHAHAHA!

I'm not an ABIT fan but, the KA7-100 (RAID) had a great reputation for FSB overclocking. Yes, its the same KX133 chipset that others used but these boards just did the FSB OC dance. Don't think that 130 is out of it.

Hey People...

I've had a KA7-100 and several of the KT7 and KT7-Raid's. Remember that there is an option to add to the multiplier up to 28 extra MHz one at a time. It doesn't really effect the RAM, just the timing to the CPU. It is totally possible that this guy is simply going to 103 FSB and +28 for the other setting. The chip would then run AS IF it were on a 131 MHz FSB (as far as clock speed) when it is in fact only running on a 103 MHz bus. That's what I believe is going on here.

Netopia that is incorect. Abit said it was misprinted in the manual and that it DOES effect everything, all its there for is so that you can do 1Mhz increments.

 

[Netopia]

One correction to my original idea. Since the memory scores are higher than a standard (100MHz) Athlon, perhaps the guy set it to 105/26 or 107/24, which would have boosted the memory throughput somewhat. Whatever the case, memory bandwidth was improved about 10% max, so his real FSB could only have been at about 110, not 133.
