underclocking - Can't change CPU multiplier on board. Advice!
Hello all,
I'm trying to underclock (Duron 1.4, Syntax V266a motherboard). Now the issue is, this extremely featureless budget, but otherwise well performing, board won't let me drop the CPU multiplier below 133 (range being between 133-165). If I go ahead with the pencil trick on the cpu anyway will the board somehow detect this and allow me to drop the multiplier further or will I be still be stuck with the same multiplier range due to the the featureless nature of the mobo? Or indeed is there another trick to allow me to drop the multiplier? Thanks |

Either way and anyway, I'd like to drop both the multiplier and the FSB. Ideas. Cheers |

Usually, There's a jumper setting on the MB to set the default FSB to 100 or 133. You really don't want to go in between these settings unless you really know what you are doing because of the way it affects the other bus speeds. Check your MB manual for FSB jumpers. Some boards also have jumpers for the multiplier, or to enable the bios to change them. Of course the ability to change the multiplier will depend on if the cpu you have is locked or not. And that's another can of worms.
