Hello, I have recently re-built my entire system after my OEM board and processor got fried.
What I'd really like to do is overclock my XP 1600+ from 1.4GHz to something like 2.0GHz. I have read that I will have to use conductive greece to jump two bridges. Others say that you will have to increase multipliers. Can someone assist me in doing this?

My current specs are as follows:
MSI K7N2GM2 (Specs: http://us.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=597)
AMD ...

My system:
CPU Type Intel Pentium IIIE, 733 MHz (5.5 x 133)
Motherboard Name IBM 6594UN4
Motherboard Chipset Intel Camino i820
System Memory 256 MB
BIOS Type IBM (03/30/01)
Version NWKT53AUS

I got here a SL4Bs, 1000/256/133 that I tried to install, and I got an error code, 167 I think, no processor support.

Did I get too fast a processor? If so can I tweak something to make it work?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

I'm planning to buy a new processor, which'll be "Athlon II X4 620 AM3 2.6GHz 2MB Cache 45nm Processor." I'll use it with a "Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD3P" motherboard.

I've looked at Gigabyte's website and saw that this motherboard does not natively support Athlon II X4 AM3 cpus. It requires a BIOS update. Now, my question is; will I be able to boot the computer at all, so as to install that BIOS update? Or will ...

Hi, recently I tried eSupport for a BIOS upgrade on my old ABIT LX6 board but the new BIOS of course takes away ABIT CPU Soft Menu, but does not include any option to select both FSB and the CPU multiplier, which is fluctuating between 2 (on even boots) and 2.5 (on odd boots), and so I cannot run my PII-300 at its spec (66MHz x 4.5). It will never go higher than 166MHz (66MHz ...

Hi all,

The Sempron 3000+ in my AK79D-400 Max is run at 1600MHz (CPU Frequency detected = 133MHz). The cpu is an SDA3000DUT4D. The board should recognize it as 166MHz FSB capable.
At start up it does show 'Sempron 3000+' and sets the voltage at 1.6V which is good. So I guess Model 10 (Barton) support is only half implemented.

I noticed that for the AK79G-VN board there is a beta BIOS with Model 10 ...

Hello!

My Motherboard is IPIBL-LA. Bios Ver. 5.13

But can't detect new Pentium E6300 @ 2.8G

Does anyone know how to modify BIOS so that a new CPU could be detected?

Thanks for your help!

ECS doesn't seem to do updates, unable to afford reg fee to fix from every scanner. Bios doesn't read 1.8 P4, video (Geforce 5200 card), and APG correctly: according to windows error reports. Drivers would be nice, but definitely need bios.Please help. :? SIS 661GX-6A7I4E1AC-00 (1.0B) 5\20\2005.

My Acer Extensa 5620 uses the GM965 chipset. It can handle a 667 or 800Mhz bus. Stock cpu is a T5250. Others have upgraded this exact model just fine to a T8300, so I assumed a T9500 would work as well. They're both Wolfdale Penryn's, both run at the same FSB, both have the same wattage... the T9500 is just 200Mhz faster and has a larger cache.

No go. Latest BIOS (from 2008) doesn't let ...

Hello,

I'm new to this forum so I'm not too sure about whether this is the correct section or not but it seems to be the only one really relating to my main question.

My question is for the experienced people of this forum with regards to the BIOS. I am planning to upgrade the CPU on a MSI MS-6524 motherboard with the SIS 650 chipset from an Intel Pentium 4 Willamette 1.7GHz 400Mhz FSB ...

I got this board with a processor on board and the cpu got damaged some how and I had a spare Athlon XP 2400 lying around. It shows as a Athlon XP 1800 and also runs at 1.5 GHz, whereas it is capable of 2.0 GHz. In the bios there is no option in the CPU parameters to change the CPU clock or FSB. Also I am presently on 1280x1024 resolution and my lcd supports ...
