Multiplier control greater than 12.5x?

[TerryMathews]

Here's the problem. I've got an A7M266d with no multiplier controls and a pair of golden sockets that only control multipliers up to 12.5x.

Is there any way to make the golden sockets control multipliers higher than 12.5x?

Unless you relock the the CPU at x13 and more you won't be able to use anything more than x12.5. You will have to reverse the L10 bridges to go to the x13 and up. and as I understand, you turn the x8 bit to HI which give you the slected multiplier + 8 = the multi you get. so if you choose x5 and add 8 you get x13 mutli

OK, so if I follow you, I can unlock the processor and hard-mod the 8x FID L bridge, then I would be able to set multipliers on the Golden socket, where for example I set 5x on the socket and the processor ends up at 13x?

That's how I understand it too.

Yea that is what I had in mind, you can ask John C. to be 100%, I know I would :)
