how would i go about this? i have a Jetway v266b

Cheesy Peas · Mar 1, 2003

i think you can just clear the cmos, 2mins ill look at ur board

right, you see this picture here : http://www.ripnet-uk.com/RipNet_v2/reviews/motherboards/jetway/ide.shtml

theres the yellow jumper near the obttom, you need to move that onto the other pin, and leave it for a min or so, then put it back how it was.

any after effects? lose anything? bad things that may go wrong?

AcEmAsTr · Mar 1, 2003

do i do it while its on?

sirtoby · Mar 1, 2003

The correct procedure for clearing the CMOS is turning off computer, moving jumper, hit power button, move the jumper back and hit power button again.

Just moving it and leaving it shouldn't do jack sqwat ..

As for effects, all your BIOS settings will be set back to default. So if you have changed anything, you will have to set it up again..

Do it while your computer is off. I'd also recommend that you take out your BIOS battery before you move that jumper. Moving that pin will reset your BIOS to default, so you'll have to put back in any settings.

you dont need to remove the battery. moving that jumper stops the batery from working - it effectivly IS removed.

Cheesy Peas · Mar 1, 2003

thats a 2100+ i beleive?

Cheesy Peas · Mar 1, 2003

yup, stock 2100 is 1733, well done, i was at 1825(12.5*143) with my xp1800, but i backed down coz my cooling wasnt really up to the job.

AcEmAsTr · Mar 1, 2003

im folding and running prime95 torture test and it hasnt gonbe above 41 yet

i may unlock this chip and push some more, i dont dare go over 151fsb tho, me and Harddrives dont get along well

AcEmAsTr · Mar 1, 2003

im so hapy about my first overclock i couldnt help but post this pic

(sorry about size, i couldnt work out how to change it)

AcEmAsTr · Mar 1, 2003

Cheesy Peas · Mar 1, 2003

AcEmAsTr · Mar 1, 2003

AcEmAsTr · Mar 1, 2003

Please read the book that came with your motherboard to figure out the correct way to clear your BIOS before you tell people. You should never turn on your system while the jumpers are set to "clear", as a matter of fact if you read most (MSI, SOYO, GIGABYTE) even tell you to unplug your system and remove your ATX power connector.
BTW, moving the pins does do jack, it shorts out the connection killing the power to your CMOS chip thus clearing it. I have to do this so often, i was thinking of putting a 3 way switch on the outside of the case to clear the CMOS, humm...

good O/C. My system won't do anything above 158fsb and I have no idea why. Every time I do my windows install gets all messed up. Good LUCK!
