Just takes a BIOS flash....hope you know how to do that.

You have to set it to "Manual" before you can do any adjustments. Also, the BIOS only allows for FSB adjustments, no voltage or multiplier adjustments, even if your CPU is unlocked. With the default BIOS, you get the default 133MHz FSB, and the next jump is 150MHz, hardly feasible. With the latest cheepobios, there's 138MHz, 143MHz and 148MHz. I got my Tbird 1.4 to 1.5GHz by upping the FSB to 143MHz. Works great!

yup i did flash the BIOS (i'm not that stupid )
thanks PG

damn.. that's why i can't change the multiplier ratio even though i've unlocked my CPU
thanks anyway Goi

Yup, I have an unlocked Tbird myself and I can't do anything except change the FSB, it sucks, but anyway I wasn't intending to do any serious overclocking on that system anyway, and the K7S5A offered great performance(at its time) for the lowest price, quite a no brainer for that system.

Have you tried downloading either the honey X BIOS or cheapo's version of the BIOS
ECS does not have a BIOS with overclocking capabilities on it you hafta use one of these modified Bios's
read what some people have said about them befor downloading !

Honey X - BIOS download page

Cheapo - BIOS download Page

They will let you change the FSB in your Bios after you Flash them on !

Well I'm currently using the latest(I think) cheepobios, is there any differences between that and the honeyX BIOS?

 

[Vidclone]

No idea
