Recieved a pair of 2100+ Tbred Bs today. Set golden sockets for 10x which added to the 8x bit that they can't control yields 18x (stupidly). Board doesn't post at 2400MHz, and I realize that I've made a boo-boo. Come out and check the table, set for 17.5x and everything is golden at 2400MHz.

Here's the wierd part: The board did post at 18x, which should be impossible if it remaps to 23x. Instead, I posted at 1866MHz, or 14x.

Dunno if that's important to you. Board is A7M266D, 760MPX chipset. No hardware mods to it or the Golden Sockets.

****This checks out perfectly with other results if we interpret what you did this way....
Set 18X...doesn't post at 2400...cause 18X remaps to 23X, too high for CPU.
Set 17.5X...get 2400 = 18X133...cause 17.5X remaps to 18X.
So far so good****

****OK, CPU doesn't remap twice...17.5X->18X, 18X->23X, 2 separate sets, each with its own remap.****

Instead, I posted at 1866MHz, or 14x.

***Don't understand, what did you set to get 1866 = 14X1333??
Maybe post a Table of "I set vs I get" for every thing you set. We might not be deciphering post correctly. And explain what golden sockets do...we think they are like GFDs to reset Multiplier???

just try all the different mult settings and let us know what ya get
nice to see an mpx in the mix

OK, maybe I could have written that better. At any rate, what I was trying to say was when I set the 18x multiplier, the computer did POST. At 14x. When it should have been 23x.

LO-HI-HI-HI-HI = code for 18X remaps to 23X.
LO-HI-HI-LO-HI = code for 14X.
Bit Values = .5X-1X-2X-4X-8X L to R.
So difference is not surprisingly in the 4X Bit Value circuit.
Something possibly wrong with that circuit or any "switches" in that circuit. Remaps have been confirmed too many times to suspect your CPU is different, even if it is an MP....(but who knows??)
We'd jiggle the "golden sockets"/?switches?...test it some how??
Did the 4X circuit become grounded/set LO somehow??
Otherwise, no answer.
