Connect L1 bridges w/ a pencil. Toms Hardware Walkthru This should help.

Your T-bird is already unlocked, almost all of the 1.2-1.4s come that way. All you need is either a board with overclocking options like multiplier, vcore, FSB, adjustments in the bios or you can use a program like CPUcool to overclock it from the FSb if you don't have the bios options. Overclocking from the FSB will give better performance than just multiplier adjusting but a combo of both is the best. BTW, thanx for the advice about the auto update in XP Edit:if you use a utility like CPUcool to O/C because your board doesn't support it, you'll want to pencil in the 1 open L7 bridge on the CPU to make the default voltage 1.85v which will allow you to get more MHZ out of it. It's not hard, just use a mechanical pencil and a magnifying glass to make the little line between the to metal dots and your done. The magnifying glass is just to make certain the pencil line dosen't touch 1 of the other lines because that can short the CPU.

i have an ECS mother board is that one that i can overclock on?

 

[DAPUNISHER]

Probably not, but which model do you have? the K7S6A has some overclocking features but most ECS boards like the K7S5A for example don't. I use CPUcool with my K7S5A and I'm running a Duron 1ghz@1.1ghz@default voltage using it. I've also run a Duron700@933mhz using the 133/133 setting in the bios@1.85v and a 1.4T-Bird@1.54ghz@1.85v using CPUcool. also, CPUcool provides hardware monitoring and overheat shutdown as well.

 

[MuK107]

is the only way you can tell by checking the bios? if you can? because i think i have the one where you cant. so should i get that program

 

[DAPUNISHER]

yeah, I would get CPUcool and see what you can get with your voltage@default at first as it'll be safer that way.

ok thanks a bunch
