Poll: Does my T-Bird 900 have a problem???

[beto]

I have a KT7A (BIOS 02/14/2001 "YH&quot and a FOP38 (without ArcticSilver) and I have been used at 10x100.
after I read the article ("KT133A The Issue&quot I modified my L6 bridges (500) following the tip and I have success to OC to 7,5x133. But the problem are:
- in SoftMenuIII I choose FSB = 133/33 MHz but in Sandra 2001 Standard recognize PCI=44MHz and AGP=88MHz. I don't understand.
- and the VCore in SoftMenuIII I use (User Define) 1,75/3,3 but in Sandra and Via Hardware Monitor VCore is 1,85. When I use 1,85/3,3 the CPU works at 1,95. I check the L7 bridges and doesn't have a mod. It's default (1,75) This problem always had since I bought. Why VCore always increase 0,1V?

Youc pci divisor is 3 and it should be 4. You agp divisor should be 2. Thats your problem. i wouldnt care for the voltage if yiu o/c leave it at 1.85

Where I change the PCI/AGP divisor? Will I have problem using 1,85V?

Difficult to understand what you wrote - but in simple terms Sandra does not yet report KT133A chipsets correctly. You do not have a problem.

Also your board (KT7A) should not be affected by the issue that article reported anyway. and yes regtalk is correct, Sandra is wrong, but they released a new version yesterday, so grab it!

Thanks zzzz! I got the Sandra (2001.3.7.50) and now reports right 7,5x133MHz PCI bus=33MHz and AGP bus=66 MHz.
Regalk, I'm sorry about my English... I know it's horrible, but I'm trying to learn as soon as possible.
but,
how about my VCore? I select 1,75V in SoftMenu... but Sandra and VIA hardware monitor report 1,85V. When I select 1,85V report 1,95V. Is it normal or possible?
