AK77-333 and 1/5 divider and multipliers

Took the plunge last night and flashed bios 1.04 last night and now have the option of setting fsb from 13-248 Mhz. The cpu comes up as unknown 2000Mhz instead of xp2400+ but I can live with that. Thanks to Aopen for "fixing" the more recent bios updates to limit the fsb to 160. :-/ The board uses the KT333 chipset, so it *should* have a 1/5 PCI divider at 166 fsb and up but I'm a little reluctant to try 166 in case it still uses the 1/4 divider at that speed. Anyone know for sure that the 1/5 divider kicks in at 166 on this board? Can't help you here. I'm still using a KT133 chipset board. The other weird thing is that the board has dip switches to set the multiplier from 5 to 12.5. The xp2400+ should come unlocked, so I set the fsb to 100 and tried set the multiplier but using different switch combinations I get multipliers ranging from 13 to 22. Anyone have any idea why I'm not getting the lower multipliers? This ones easy though. Your board doesn't support the 5th multiplier bit. See CPU-Multiplier cross ref. in link below. If you want multipliers of 12.5 and less, you'll have to set the 5th bit low. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core 2100+ CPU @2400MHz http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/ |

Thanks for the replies. Backed up the harddrive and tried it at 13x166 yesterday and it ran ok, but was a little unstable. Expect this was the cpu as it was also a little unstable at 15x145. Will try opening the fifth bit to get 12.5, should run fine there. You may need to raise vcore to get it stable at 13x166. BTW, the fifth bit is already open on the 2400+. You have to close it to get the lower multipliers. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core 2100+ CPU @2400MHz http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/ |
