Hi i recently bought a pc, the cpu is a amd athlon xp 2800+, MotherBoard ASUS A7S8X-MX, On the Asus Probe it says , Processor / Max Speed 2167 Mhz, Current Speed = 1263 Mhz, how can i make it work at the normal speed which is 2.167 Mhz??? please help help email me david_latino19@hotmail.com
You're not going to get it up to that speed... read this carefully: http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=151373 and don't post your e-mail address because it's not allowed and no one will actually e-mail you anyway. You have to actually come back here like the rest of us
You will get that speed easily. You have it setup wrong at the moment. Need to go into your bios and find the setting for FSB and change it from 100 (which I guess it is on now) and change it to 166. It is in a different place from board to board, but the motherboard manual should tell you where to look. Will be fine then. Cheers.
ok the bios only allowes me to change the frequency on DRAM and is currently at 166, BUT it doesnt let me change the Cpu Frequency. the bios automaticaly reads the settins from the external clock, so i changed the jumpers on the mobo from 100 to 133, then my cpu started working at 1667 Mhz (1.6 Ghz), and when i changed them again to 166, i went to the bios and checked if the new frequency was changed. but it was still at 133, so i did further research and found out that the motherboard im using ASUS A7S8X-MX acepts cpus with 333 Mhz Frequency but it makes them work at 133 :S can someone help me i was thinkin of buying a new mobo with overcloaking features because this one doesnt even let me change the vcore voltage or any oc features
if your jumpers only allow 100 or 133, then you will never get your cpu up to speed with that motherboard. You need to have the option of 166, because the FSB for the CPU is supposed to be 333mhz (~166 x 2). Sorry. Motherboards are cheap, get a new one, or you will be stuck with an UNDERCLOCKED processor.
yes indeed i have bought a new asus with all the overcloacking features and now is working at 2.09 Ghz, the bios has options to overcloack withouth me havin to change anything i just chose agresive and the bios overcloacks it automatically i love it thanks my new mobo is A K7 Flagship Motherboard NVIDIA® NForce2 Ultra 400 + MCP-T Chipset 400 MHz FSB Dual-Channel DDR400 Memory Dual LAN with Gigabit ASUS Wi-Fi slot Dolby® Audio SATA RAID IEEE 1394 http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/socketa/a7n8x-e-d/overview.htm
I know this response in to late ,but maybe it will help someone else with this board. all u had to do is set the jumpers on the motherboard to 133 and it would have been ok. this board has 100,133 and 166 jumper settings.
hi can anyone help me overcloacking this new mobo, ive got 768 ddr pc3200 ram, amd 2800+ cpu, aTi sapphire 256 mb ddr graphics card, my pc is turned on most of the time and reaches a max temperature of 55C, the mobo details is K7 Flagship Motherboard NVIDIA® NForce2 Ultra 400 + MCP-T Chipset 400 MHz FSB Dual-Channel DDR400 Memory Dual LAN with Gigabit ASUS Wi-Fi slot Dolby® Audio SATA RAID IEEE 1394 http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/socketa/a7n8x-e-d/overview.htm thanks
