Strange problem on A7N8X need help

[llkaimq]

So yesterday i was doing some overclocking with my new precious XP 2700+. This is not unlocked, but i try for some good fsb overclock anyways. My computer get worked, doesnt post. I reset the CMOS and everything is happy, except It says i'm running 6.5 X 166!! When i change multi to 12.5/13 it says warning overclock! so i run os with this 6.5 x 166 and everything game wise works works fine and Sandra and System in control panel tell me im running 2700+ speed.
Any suggestions?

BTW: i flashed the BIOS to G version and problem is still there

its actually 6.5 x 2 x 166=2166mhz
which is the amd xp 2700+ setting
so you shouldn't worry

download wcpuid from www.h-oda.com to be sure...

i had (well still having) the same problem...and it seems other people are having the same, check out this other thread

they say to downgrade to 1001.c, my board came with 1001.g and it shows fsb = 133 and multiplier = 7.5 ( i have a xp2400) these are not the correct settings..... using wcpuid i get fsb = 133 and multiplier = 15 which are the right settings..... i haven't flashed the bios to 1001.c yet, but you might want to try that out....

hope this helps

6.5(processor multiplier) x 2(works like ddr) x 166fsb
but many mobo manufactures skip the x2 part and just show it as 11,12,13,etc,etc
i read this somewhere on the net last year

WCPUID shows it as 13 x 166
