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 sham126 "Peter van der Goes" wrote in message ... 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. "Mr. Nangla" wrote in message ... 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?

Sorry, it won't.
