Experts help me, need the dipswitch setting for multipel 14 on ASUS A7V KT133

In the manual 12.5x is the highest, do anyone know if there exist a 14x multiple ?? I suspect my AMD T-bird 1.4GHz or Epox kt266a mainboard is broken, so I would like to try the CPU on a friends platform.
 
12.5 is the highest multiplier.

But, if you flash your BIOS to 1008 you might be able to run that chip at, or close to, its rated speed.

If the chip has a 200mhz FSB, and the L1 bridges are broken (locked), then (w/BIOS 1008) the chip will autodetect at 1400mhz in jumperfree mode (all dipswitches set to 'off' and jen jumper set to jumperfree)

If the chip has a 266mhz FSB, and the L1 bridges are closed (unlocked) then (w/BIOS 1008) the 12.5 multiplier is remapped to 13x, so the chip should boot at 1300mhz using the jumpers -- 12.5x100 = 1300

good luck

It is a 200mhz FSB, but what about the L1 bridges (Level 1 cache ?). How do I lock the L1 bridges ? Is it done by "physically" modifying the mainboard. That is, it can't be done by switches/Jumpers ?
 
There are tiny metal "bridges" on the face of the processor. Each set of bridges has a name, ie L1, L2...L7. This has nothing to do with L1 or L2 cache.

It also has nothing to do with the motherboard. If you look closely at the set of L1 bridges, some of them are joined, and some of them are split. Simply close the circuit at the splits with a pencil (since pencil lead is conductive).

The ASUS A7V does not have a physical dipswitch setting for the 14x multiplier.
 
So to "break"/lock the bridges I just draw a line of lead ? And can I "unlock" them by removing the lead ?
(Or is it the other way around ?)

I'v seen those "metal circuits" on top of CPU, but I need to get a closer look at it. Perhaps someone know a website that considers this.

Thanks for your answers !

 
You don't want to unlock the CPU

it must be locked (broken) for the 1.4 to be autodetected in jumperfree mode by the 1008 BIOS on the A7V

Most of the 200mhz chips arrive already locked. But to confirm that you need to look carefully at the CPU

You can't miss the L1 bridges. If the lines are not connected your all set
