Ditch the board.U'll screw things up real bad or use it stock.I went from
7VA to 7N400Pro to A7N8X-Dlx to (which i should of done it from the start)
EPOX 8RDA+ v2.1.This board is something else believe me.My 2500+ which i
couldnt get it over 2.2 with previous boards is running @2.4GHz(Out of the
box).Cpu temp sitting on 46*C,room temp. 21*C.Fan is Volcano 11+,can play
MP2,Chrome,Freed.Fighter,UT03,CallOfDuty etc. no worries...What i mean is
dont waste ur time with that board, because what ever u do or however hard
u
try u wont get anywhere , believe me i've wasted 4 months with above
mentioned freesbees.Something to think about..

Have a Nice Day From Down Under :-))))

I recently purchased a Gigabyte K7 Triton series mobo, model GA-7n400-L
to
be specific, and an AMD 2400+ CPU, the 266 MHz FSB version.

I'm thinking about overclocking the CPU. I can't do this thru the BIOS
(the
BIOS for this board sucks when it comes to overclocking...). There are
dip
switches on the board. Currently, they are set to Auto for the FSB and
the
CPU, it will automatically set the FSB speed and the multiplier.

I'd rather not overclocking by adjusting the FSB. Some games I play
start
getting jerky when I do that (namely UT2003). However, I'm hoping to
adjust
the clock multiplier by setting the switches accordingly and bump up the
speed a bit. Question: is it possible to do with this CPU or is it
"locked"? Also, with regular cooling (CPU fan, 2 fans sucking air out
of
the case, 2 blowing air in), how much can I realistically expect to
overclock. If I can only bump it up to 2500+ plus level, then it quite
frankly isn't worth it to me. HOwever, if I can get a bit more...

Thanks for any thoughts and cya!!
