2500+ Normal Speed..
Hi all,
I know that this is an overlocking newsgroup, but I was wondering if you guys could help me.. I have a 2500+ running on an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe Mobo. It seems that when I go to the Control Panel - System -General, it shows that I am only getting 1.09Ghz out of it. I think the default speed is 1.83Ghz. Can anybody explain why my default speed is so low? I have never overclocked or changed any BIOS setting (I'm a bit of a gumby with these things, so have left everything alone!!). Seems I'm losing around 40% of my minimum potential here... Any clues would be most appreciated... Regards, andym |
Have you checked the bus speed in the bio's?

Mark,
I have the following settings shown on my "Advanced Chipset Features" area of the BIOS.. CPU Ext. Freq. = 100Mhz CPU Freq. Multiple Setting = Auto System Perfomance = Optimal FSB Spread spectrum = .50% Would any of this need to be changed? ... as I said before i just want the 1.83Mhz .. not interested in overclocking...

Hi Your front side bus is set at 100Mhz = 11 X 100 = 1100Mhz should be 166Mhz = 11X 166= 1833Mhz Smiffy |
Hi
Set FSB spread spectrum to 0%(disabled) as well how old is your XP2500,it may be unlocked try changing cpu freq multiplier to 10 say and see if it boots at 1666Mhz Smiffy "andym" wrote in message ...
