How to change the FSB??? a7n8x delux

[PlaystAzn]

I'm a noob at overclocking and i've been reading about people changing their FSB's to different values...but in my bios it seems i can only change it to 100/133/166/200. How do people get FSB values of 180 and stuff like that? thanks...


my barton 2500 is a disappointment.....can't get it to 200....voltage 1.75..mult at 10....i'm scared to go over that.

also...whenever i set my multiplier to 13 or above it registers in WCPUID as like a mulitplier of 5 or 6...how do i fix that? thanks.

Set the FSB to "User Defined" first then the values will become available.

If you're scared, don't overclock.

i guess the barton have the mults locked after 12.5 as well.. if you want to use 13 and higher, you're gonna have to do some bridge cutting...

also, if youre having troulbe getting to 200 mhz, you're gonn have the cut the 3rd L12 bridge in order to get there... lots of people are having problems getting fsb witht eh 2500+s

hope that helps...

also, try what Doh! said to get those other fsb values

I thought the A7n8x MB automatically unlocked the CPUs?
