GA-7N400PRO2 showing wrong processor
I just built a system yesterday:
GA-7N400PRO2 Athlon 2800+ "Barton" 768 Mushkin "Basic Green" RAM 80 gig 7200 WD drive 80 gig 7200 IBM drive Sony CDRW Sony DVD ROM Chaintech GF 5200FX Chieftec Dragon/Antec 430W "True Power" Bought all of the parts at Newegg The system is showing the Athlon 2800+ as a 1.25 Ghz processor. Are there any setting on this board which could cause this? I changed the CLK_SW dip switch to opposite that it came by default. I also went into the BIOS and changed the FSB Frequency to 166 Mhz. I DID NOT change any of the CLK_RATIO dip switches. Is there anything else I need to do? The machine runs stable and fast (at least compared to my previous board), but it still shows the processor as a 1.25 Ghz. |

I dipped the "CPU clock switch" which is located near the northbridge fan at the centre of the board. If this does not help, you must change CPU ratio in the bios. Kind greetings, Bob |

The CLK_RATIO must be set. Set then 13X and you shouls see 13*166 or 2158 or
so. JPS "Donkeyman" wrote in message ... "cpichon" schreef in bericht ...
