My epox 8k7a + 1.4 ghz athlon, help with the cpu clock

[subxeon]

It was originally at 100mhz

so it was 100 x 10.5 giving it a total of 1050 mhz

Its a t-bird 1.4ghz
so do i change the CPU CLOCK to 133mhz to give me 1400 MHZ?

 

[heffe734]

yup.

 

[ledzepp98]

yeah, just change the jumper to use a 133mhz fsb. i assume you got pc2100ram, not pc1600

 

[subxeon]

it says it can go up to 166mhz

why would somebody do that
i thought u can't over clock in the bios with this board

 

[ledzepp98]

the multiplier is controlled with dip switches on the board but you can change the fsb in the bios

 

[ledzepp98]

forgot to mention...even though you can adjust the fsb in the bios, you still need to change the jumper on the board to get the proper 1/4 pci divider. if you just change the fsb to 133mhz in the bios then you will be massively overclocking the pci cards and i doubt the system will post

 

[subxeon]

ok which jumper

i already changed it hehe

it posted

 

[subxeon]

and yes i have pc2100 ram 512 megs


is it running at 266mhz ? or what, hey how can i check the temp with this bios?

 

[ledzepp98]

i think it is the 3-pin jumper next to the ram voltage jumpers under the ram slots, next to the agp slot. i'm not 100% sure without digging out my manual so i suggest you take a quick look in the manual to be sure.

 

[ledzepp98]

i don't remember the exact page in the bios but one of them will show voltage and temps
