ECS K7S5A and XP 1700+ overclocking questions

[mrchan]

at this point all i can do its FSB adjustments and have it up to XP2000+, how can i adjust the multiplier and the voltage?

can i bridge some gaps like with the old athlons/durons? good old pencil trick?

hehe. You went where the ppl are. good thinking.

AS far as I know, there are no multiplier or voltage adjustments for this board. There are some overclocking bios's available, but this is a low budget board with limited options. I just built an xp2000 with the pro version, and it will run up to a 2600 cpu, but only auto configures the cpu/mem options in the bios, up to 166/133, but my cpu won't post at this setting.

i got a duron 1.3ghz running 10*133 on a k7s5a by changing the multiplier on the processor, breaking bridges, pencilling others

seems though that in order to get it stable at 133mhz bus you have to change the heatsink on the northbridge or at least replace that crap double sided tape they use with some thermal paste or thermal glue

cow123 got a link to the breaking bridges and penciling?

mrchan check out the ocworkbench forums they have an entire forum just for the discussion of the K7S5A and its possible mods.

smaller by about 1" wide (so the cdroms wont hit the capacitors) and usb 2.0!
