setting maybe obvious for you, but.... (sempron 2,4 + K7s41
Hi u all,
I've just changed my motherboard to a K7s41 with an Sempron 2.4Ghz - Windows refuses to start, but fortunately, Linux runs . But at boot time, I can read 1000 Mhz ( 100 x 10 ) as CPU Frequency ! I've searched all around on the net and in the manual, but I really don't understand what I must do . The FSB jumers are set for 200 Mhz on the board, and the Bios FSB actual Frequency is 100 Mhz . Should I set the jumpers to 266 , 333 ? And then change the FSB value in the BIOS to obtain 1667 ? I don't want to overclock it, just have it work at its speed Thanks in advance, jf |

And what about overheating ? I live in Mauritius, temperature today is 31° , and at the moment the CPU temp is about 47° !! If I change the settings, how high will it be ?? thanks again, jf |

In fact I understood it like that; and I finally tried to set the fsb jumpers for 333, and it works : the cpu is now correctly identified and the boot msg tells 'sempron 2400+ at 1666 Mhz (166 x 10 ) . By the way, I know i'm not on the 'good' newsgroup, but.... : my linux box still worke like a charm, but Windows doesn't start, the system reboot before any display shows on (I've tried the safe modes, same thing !) Any idea, anyone ?? thanks, jf |

I don't want to overclock it, just have it work at its speed Yeah you do. It's underclocked as is at default speed. set FSB to 200MHz for a cpu speed of 2000MHz (10x200) (athlon XP 2400+ speed). And if you can get the FSB up to 233MHz, that would be even better. If you just have to have it a default clock, set FSB to 166MHz. Thanks in advance, jf -- KT133 MB, CPU @2400MHz (24x100): SIS755 MB CPU @2330MHz (10x233) Need good help? Provide all system info with question.
