Just curious if anyone had figured out a way to get around the 300Mhz upper limit that seems to exist with the 1.0, 1.16, and most likely the new 3.09 BIOS that has been offered from MSI? Also before I get the same tiresome lecture about this being an issue with the processor being unable to handle this speed, please dont bother since it is quite clearly a limit that has been placed in the BIOS. Choose whatever CPU multiplier or HTT multiplier and then step even one Mhz above 300Mhz and the resultant speed is your multiplier x 201Mhz. Proceeding to increase the HTT even higher seems to give even more sporadic results, but not one approachs or exceeds this 300Mhz boundary. Additionally my processor can run higher on another board (for example my old Abit AN8 SLi could hit 8x350 or 9x311) and it is also possible to manually bump the HTT on my Diamond Plus higher than 300Mhz (i.e. 9x310Mhz) simply using the tool Clockgen (confirmed via better times in SuperPi and Everest). The problem with this method alone is the new version of Clockgen doesn't have a save feature implemented yet, so one would need to manually reset the value every boot.
Is anyone aware of any modified BIOSes out there that remove this locked boundary? I have googled around for a solution, but only found remarks suggesting that the person experiencing problems going above 300Mhz must be a noob and just didn't understand how to OC. I don't see why people are so resistant to the idea that a manufacturer might place a fail safe boundary at which they don't expect normal user to exceed, much like the 274Mhz limit that cropped up in later BIOSes for the ASRock 939Dual SATA.
