Unlocking Your Athlon XP by Tulatin

ok my 2500+ multiplyer is 11 X FSB...Whats the highest I can set the multiplyer to?

In that link u pointed to, it says (in the middle of the chip pic)
MHz FSB (type in) and is at 133 by default.....but I cant seem to type mine in....(mine is 166 standard and 189 at the moment)

Also any suggestions as to what to use to short the pins?....what do you guys use?

[Tulatin]

You have to double click the litttle box, and when you see the cursor, you're good to go. As to what to use, use 1 strand off of aluminum wire - the cheaper stuff that's made up a bunch of strands, but is thin.

nope still cant change the 133MHz i double, tripple and quadruple clicked

[Tulatin]

That's really odd - it works perfectly for me... try refreshing

[joshvee]

nope still wont work....anyway does it effect the pin shorting position? or is it just to help u calculate ur final MHz

[Tulatin]

it shows you which pins you'd have to short to get that multipler, fsb and voltage if you're board didn't have the adjustments.

i dont think u understand my question.......does me not being able to change the 133MHz to 166MHz effect the pin position for the multiplyer?

[Tulatin]

of which pins you'd short? no. It shouldn't at least. i'll check - it seems to be messed up today - it's multiplying hte fsb by twice the desired multi...

[joshvee]

also my multiplyer is at 11 at the moment....what do u recomend i increase it to and what is the danger of setting it too high?

[Tulatin]

the multi? Usually i wouldn't bother raising it, and just keep boosing the fsb in stead. Other than that, so long as you lower the fsb a little as you raise it, there should be no danger zone.
