Overclock PCChips M810LMR ?

[PacketMaster]

I have bought several PCchips M810LMR Motherboards with Duron cpu's. They are a good value board and cpu. The Bios looks like it has some nice overclock features but I can not access them. They call it CPU PnP in the bios. It will not let you access the multiplier or core voltage settings.

Does anyone know how to get around this?

I have a friend with a PCChips Mobo, he has to go into cpu pnp and change it from auto to user define to get it to let him change the settings. Don't know if that helps.

tc720, i donno which mobo your friend has, but i don't think my 810lmr's bios has that option of changing to user define.

PacketMaster,
I just got me this board yesterday, and i'm trying to figure out how i can get around that too. i'll let you know if i find anything about it.

I'm still looking for ways to hack into the bios.
to step up the FSB in more ways than 100, or 133
and to raise the voltage.

is it foolish of me to try O/C'ing this mobo?
so far, i'm happy with it. but it'd be nice to be able to oc.

HELP. does anyone have any idea...

i just updated it's bios.
hoping that in the new bios, it would let me control the fsb in smaller increments... rather than 100, or 133....
hoping that i could control the vcore voltage... rather than having it fixed at 1.6v.
at 1.6v, it's sorta difficult, i would think, to do any o/c'ing with usable stability.

i like how, it's rock solid at 100mhz.
but i'm still looking for ways to up it a bit more.

does anyone know how to hack into bios? and change settings that are locked?

i'd greatly appreciate it.

well, if you guys are really serious about wanting to o/c it, if you can't by any other means (bios), etc...

[Riddler]

and all you guys have unlocked the chip, right?

I use this MB and Duron 700. The BIOS setting seems to be locked somehow but I use pencil to raise the voltage of Duron 700 to 1.8V and then set the FSB to 133MHz inside the BIOS's CPU setting.

The CPU runs at 933 MHz and flies. Pretty enjoy that.

Hope it helps a bit.

imagineer.... i just tried the same thing.
i crossed all the L7 bridges to raise the voltage to 1.85
and now it's running at 7x133@931.
which is pretty sweet.

now that i've o/c'ed it to 931... i'd say that this mobo&duron config is one of the best value mobo out there.

i spent $134 for both mobo and duron 700. and i can't complain.

 

[hoihtah]

call me crazy... but i'm going to try to change my duron 700's FID to 7.5x or 8x to see if i can stretch this a bit more.

7.5x133@997 or 8x133@1064 would be sweet.

if i could raise the FSB any higher... i would. but again, the bios doesn't let me do so. hence, i'm stuck with changing FID on my duron.

wish me luck.
