Hie, I've got a A7V (Rev 1.02) and a Tbird 900 which is unlock with the defogger kit which did 1100Mhz. The
problem is, I've tried to change the multiplier on the Mobo and the speed will just remain as 900Mhz and the
multiplier does not change all. I even tried down clocking it but the PC won't even boot. I once got it to boot at
700Mhz which means that my CPU is unlock rite? I've tried Bios 1003 and 1005c. The board is set at Jumper
mode. I'm lost here. HELP ME!!!!!

from what you are saying it is not unlocked, better reapply the paint after you clean it off.

Forget it, solved it already. Thanks for your time man. The damn manual printed the Dip switches upside down. :)

Is there anyway to cool the CPU? It's running too hot for my liking.
I have a FOp32 on the run. :(

Well how hot is yours at?
I'm running at 44C idle/49C full load with the retail heatsink and arctic silver II. I'm running my Duron 750MHz @ 888MHz @ 1.625/1.65Volts.

I had my voltage at 1.85Volts running at 1GHz, but it wasn't that great with up to 59C temps.

Well I just did a bit more testing and it looks like I can get 900MHz, stable, with 1.625/1.65Volts. 50C max temp. I like it.
