I know I have a 1.33ghz chip, but WHY is it saying only 1 ghz

[JasonVP]

I cant seem to find where in the BIOS to raise the mobo bus speed. I have the AMD 1.33ghz chip with a MSI k7 master board. My system is telling me that the cpu speed is 1ghz and not 1.33ghz. I suspect that the bus speed is at 100 instead of 133 but I cant find where its at. PLEASE HELP

There is a jumper on the board that change the 100 mhz fsb and 133 mhz fsb. Should be around the battery (not the clear cmos battery) and I believe it's yellow.

I cant seem to find it on the board yet..I found the battery on the board, it is to the lower left, but I see nothing around it.

i think on the K7T series the jumper is right behind the agp slot. it should be off for 266 bus

Jay,
There has to be a jumper, look more carefully
My bet is its set on 100x10, instead of 133x10 good luck

Yep, I agree...get about 2 of these a week here...

Look at your mobo manual or go to the msi webpage and look at the configuration of the board...

 

[JasonVP]

well, the battery I found is silver..the only jumpers around it is for the wake on modem features

The manual that came with the motherboard will tell you how to enable the 133Mhz FSb. It should have been enabled already considering that it is a selling point of that mobo. Good luck.

You're supposed to be able to change the FSB in the BIOS...

ok..I found it in the BIOS, I was wondering where a jumper was. Geez, another question whatm should my temp be at. The BIOS says 53C as the CPU temp. I have the Taisol HSF and used Artic SIlver 2..I just thought it should be lower
