newbie oc question
I have a GA-7VAX with a Barton 2500, 512 PC2700, working fine @ 1827mhz and
smooth performance. I want to bump up performance a little but aren't sure exactly what to do. In the BIOS for freq/volt control when I change the FSB freq I get a box that says 'key in a DEC number, min 166 max 250' is this just asking to raise the FSB freq? The pci/agp is at 33/66, dram at 166, ddr 333. My MB switches are set for auto, and Eazytune 4 reports my multiplier locked at 11. I've read ET4 sucks and to use the BIOS instead, is that correct? -- Rob Thompson |

Sooo, you are going to be limited to what your Video card or memory or any other PCI devices you have attached can take in the way of over clocking. Best way to overclock on that board is to raise the Multiplier if you are lucky enough to have an unlocked CPU. Otherwise you need an nForce board or one that locks the busses while allowing the FSB to change. Yes, 'key in a DEC number, min 166 max 250' is the FSB setting. |

I have the MB switches set to Auto, but can I bump the muliplier by setting the switches to 12.5? BTW the MB has the F10 bios if that makes any difference. When I get the box to raise the FSB the pci/agp is grayed out, so does it stay locked or will it raise regardless? |

Changing the multiplier to 12.5 will give you a 2800+ (assuming the cpu isn't locked). If you want a little more, setting the FBS to 176 will give you 2200MHz and shouldn't be a problem for most PCI/AGP devices. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.html |
