Here's my setup:

8khat+
duron 900mhz "locked"
2sticks of 256 crucial ddr
enlight 300 psu *******i think this might be the problem******



I can't get my mobo to post at 133mhz. However, I didn't unlock the cpu but I tried 120fsb * 7.5 and that didn't work. I also set the jumpers to 133mhz. I'm thinkin it is the psu, from reading all the posts earlier. I just wanna make sure i test everything..before i try to get a new psu or rma the mobo back to new egg. Oh yeah i also, increase the voltage on the cpu that did'n't do anything as well...


Please give me any suggestions you feel is pertinent...

thank you:confused:

Most Duron (Splitfire) had the average maximum speed of 950 Mhz. 1 Ghz is possible thou. Ur setting of 9.0 X 133 FSB is too high. U won't make it no matter wht u change...err...except the CPU.

If u wanna run at 133 FSB, u have to unlock the CPU and say try 7.0 X 133 FSB. For ur Duron, ur current setup is fine (more than enough). Nothing wrong w/ the mobo, PSU or RAM.

Duron's highest FSB standard is 100FSB. That's why it will not work, unless you unlock the CPU. You're trying to tell the mobo it a 1.2GHz Thunderbird. The title of your post is correct. 9.0 x 100FSB = 900MHz. Unlock it, and let us know how things went. I wouldn't just jump to 133FSB though. Ease your way up there.
