XP 1700 only at 1.1 ghz?

[No1zLegacy]

I just recently installed an XP1700+ on a Iwill XP333-R board and I set the multiplier to 11x. It's only showing up as a 1.1 GHz processor though. When I let the board auto choose, it sets it at 1.1 GHz also.....Why is that?

Has to be that your cpu's fsb is at 100. 11 X 100 = 1100mhz or 1.1 ghz. Mess around in the bios or read the board's manual to figure out how to adjust the fsb.
btw...how did you adjust the multiplier? Must mention if you've unlocked it or not.

You must set the fsb to 133mhz. For some reason SocketA mobos seem to not set the fsb when in Auto mode.

Ok, thanks. That did it. My board has a jumper on it thats set to 100 mhz default fsb.

I haven't unlocked anything.
It's just a setting in the Iwill BIOS for this board....I can turn it all the way up to 16x if I want.
I checked my cpu on the Sandra benchmarks after adjusting it once and it read the new multiplier and speed...
