TBird 266FSB on A7V KT133A

[biXen]

Now I'm starting to wonder. Can't I run my 1,2GHz at 133MHz x 9 ? Do I have to run it at 100MHz x 12 with my RAM also at 100 ? Now I'm running RAM 100, CPU 100x9... because I had some problems, haven't tried after I reinstalled Windows. I've had a lot of trouble with ATA-100 too. No help yet in Mobo and Technical Support forums. Help appreciated

I am doing it right now. Actually even overclocking it at 133x10 or 133x10.5.

What are your problems?

Yes, change the jumper on the motherboard from 100 to 133, and change the clock and FSB settings in the BIOS.

No

Oh, I have a ASUS board, do I need to do it on the motherboard ? It's jumperfree setup. I'll try when I get home then, could have been Windows that messed it up.

The Asus A7V133 does not have this jumper as many of the KT133A boards do. Anand touched up this issue and that boards with this jumper have issues when running at 133, because it first inits the default multiplier then changes which stops some boards from booting up. Something along those lines. All you do is set your FSB to 133 in BIOS or if you're using Jumper Mode then set it with the dips. Don't go around trying to find a 100/133 jumper, because you won't.
