Nebie Overcloker burn baby burn!

Hey,

It's definitely a palmino :-( So I guess a physically unlocking the cpu is
the only way? I'll try to change the multiplier (underclock first) and see
if it'll change.

cheers

It sounds like you're quoting an article about the original Athlon
Thunderbirds (1,4GHz and below).
You'll have to post the codes on top of your CPU core before we know for
sure.
Your 1700 (XP1700+) may be a Palomino, or it may be a Thoroughbred.
Palominos are locked. Thoroughbreds are unlocked. If the CPU is not
mounted,
post the codes and look closely at the CPU core. If the core is almost
square, it's a Palomino. If the core is an obvious rectangle (not close to
square), it's a Thoroughbred.
If the CPU is already mounted, and you don't want to dismount the HSF to
get
the codes, you can try to change the multiplier in your BIOS and see if it
takes. You default should be 133MHz FSB x 11 multiplier. When you boot up
you should see your CPU identified as an XP1700+ running at 1470MHz. Try
changing the multiplier from Auto to 12 and reboot. If it works, the boot
screen should reflect the change to 1600MHz. If your CPU is locked, ti
will
either boot at 1470MHz despite the BIOS setting, or refuse to boot. In the
latter case, clear CMOS to restore BIOS defaults.

Hey guys,

I want to overclock my 1700 and I've done my research. However I'm
confused
about something, read this :

"There are basically two main overclocking methods; increasing the
front-side bus (FSB) or physically unlocking the processor and changing
the
multiplier, in effect emulating a higher-end CPU. We'll be taking a look
at
each, using the following reference system: "

Ok, this is pretty simple, however I'm able to use jumpers to manually
set
the multiplier, do I still need to Physically unlock my CPU?

Cheers,

Sorry, it won't.
