Using the 4/16 bios

Before, I flashed my bios 12, 13, 14, 15 but no 12.5
flashed and I had new ram options... but multiplier only goes up to 12.5

HOWEVER when I boot in 100fsb x 12.5 my comp boots @ 1300
My chip is a 1.3 (200 fsb) Tbird....

anyone else find this strange?
 
Sounds as if your chip is locked, because the BIOS is recognizing it at default(10x1.3). If you no longer have the higher multiples, reflash with your old BIOS, if you saved it.
 
no its unlocked, I can change it around to 12, 11, 11.5 and it all works

just 12.5 = 13

and why did Iwill take out the 13, 14, 15 settings?

I saved it, but I don't think I'll go back because the new one has new RAM settings which I think I'll keep.
 
Basically when you look at the L6 Bridge, starting from the end with the extra one dot, the four pairs of bridges correspond to multiplier adder values of 1/2, 1, 2, and 4, which of course is just binary (2^-1=1/2, 2^0=1, 2^1=2, and 2^2=4). Add all the values correspond to open bridges. Then, if the value is between 0 and 1.5, add 11 to obtain the clock multiplier, and if the value is between 2 and 7.5, add 3 to obtain the clock multiplier.

stolen word for word from http://anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1440&p=6

I don't think the values would work with the way the L6's never add up to 13. if you just connected the second to last bridge it would think it is a 850 instead of a 13x100or 1300. I think that is why they removed it. as far as working with 13x multiplier I just don't know!!!
