Does anybody know if an a7v will take a 1.3ghz?

I know there is a 200 mhz and a 266mhz version of this processor. I was hoping mine would take it. Thanks

I've heard that the Asus A7V will not take more than 1.2 ghz tbirds, but I'm not sure if that's right either. In any case, I can't find any maximum chip speed info on Asus's site at all. Maybe someone could point me in the right direction, because I certainly don't want to buy a new chip and not have it work.

I was running mine at 12.5x100bus and it was reporting as a 1.3ghz chip. It's a 1.1 normally.

usually to get the 1.3ghz many of the boards use the 12.5multiplier and bump the fsb up to 104...12.5x104=1300...that is ofcourse the board detects it correctly...

Many of the boards originally did not support multipliers this high, maybe cause they had no idea how high this particular socket and line may go...Since the 1.3(200fsb release) many of the mobo manu. have released a bios update for the board offering support for 1.3 and even up to 1.5 on some boards...Check to see if asus has a bios update to add this support.

Also, forgot to mention 266fsb...

usually the problem is with the multiplier number not being high enough...For the 266fsb even with the 1.4 coming out this week the mulitplier is only 10.5 for 10.5x133=1397 or 1400mhz.

I think your board a7v doesn't offer support for this 266 fsb, but I believe you could run it by unlocking chip and bumping the multiplier up to closest spec of chip assuming the 100fsb instead of the 133...

The A7V will support a 1.33gighz, and it is a 200/266 fsb motherboard. Matter of fact I'm getting that combo from fedex any min. I've got them both at work already, but you shouldn't have any problems.

Ok, good to know...but that makes no guarantee on the 1.3 (200fsb) chip....the 1.33ghz chip is for 266fsb chip and has a multiplier of 10x not 13x of the other "b" chip...

so safest route would be go the "c" chip and 266fsb route...

are you sure you dont mean the a7v133a board not just the a7v board which I believe existed prior to the release of the 266fsb chips?...

I have the A7V and the 1.33/266 bird chip ready to go I should be doing that tonight actually.
As long as the processor is unlocked you should be ok. 12.5x100=1250 but the bios will automatically kick in at 104 so 12.5x104=1300 again make sure you're cpu is unlocked and go the multiplier way. I just updated to the latest 1008 bios I would have hopped that they would have included the 14x10=1400 in the bios but it doesn't seem to be there. BTW 12.5 means higher than 12.5 so the 1.4 should have no problem with the 1008 bios.

It Just so happens that I have a 1.02 A7V (KT133 not "A"), and a Athlon "b" 1300 that I bought (on blind faith, I might add) this weekend at a show (got screwed). I came home to find that the jumpers only went to 12.5x so I went to the web in search of some "undocumented" multiplier settings, but there are none to be found. I went to "Jumper Free" mode, stuck the 1.3G in and WHAMMO! It posted as a 1300 right off the bat and ran without a hitch. Amazingly, the processor already had all of its L1 bridges closed from the factory, not that it mattered with this board. I am running at 110mHz FSB (1429 mHz) and it's been running Win2K Pro stabily for 72+ hours non-stop without a hitch, and I've thrown ALOT at it (Photoshop, Premiere, 3DS Max 4, etc).

I'm going to try to change the FSB to 133 and run a jumpered multiplier of 11x and see what happens, if this is even possible.

So far, everything is perfect.

on an A7V, I don't think so. unless it's an A7V133
