I'm not sure my Duron unlock worked... help?

[Nicobobinus]

Did the pencil trick on the bridges, and I'm not entirely sure if it worked or not... I'm inclined to think not. I've got a Duron 650, KT7A-RAID board, and currently have it running stable @ 6.5 X 149 = 970. But if I lower the FSB and try a higher multiplier like 7 or 8, the system will black screen and not boot back up. I can turn the power on and off a time or two, and then it'll come back up with the altered speed (7 X 100 for example), boot into Win2k, can run benchmarks on it and it seems to behave like a regular OC'ed processor. It just won't boot properly without turning the power off and on. I remember from trying to OC a Celeron a while back on a Soyo board that I got a (MULTIPLIER LOCKED) message if I tried to OC it. What I'd really like to know is whether that same message happens for the Durons if they're not unlocked. That way I can know whether the CPU is unlocked or not(or at least reduce the unccertainty). Any help appreciated!

sounds like you need to redo your penciling!

That's what I was afraid of. Nuts.
Thanks for the help.

While your reading your bridge connections spend $6 and try the window defroster stuff. More permanent. Be patient and it will work out. Took me a few tries my first time. Does for everyone.
