duron 800 asus a7v mboard
i forgot to unlock multiplyer(stupid me) b4 i stuck the heatsink combo on and its now plastic melt glued there (if i try to pull it off half the cpu will probably come with it) so im stuck with multiplyer at 8 though heres the bigger prob.
i bought the thing because i should be able to get about 1ghz outta it. i cant get 880 out of it right. the stupid thing doesn't even load properly at that speed. windows just has blue screens and registry problems. help me please

You should realy try getting the heatsink off so you can unlock the multiplier. Try running your system for a while and then try removing the heatsink. This may soften the plastic glue a little to make it easier to remove. FSB overclocking can be very dificult since the a7v wont take much more than 110 very easily. Other than that all I can say is buy a very good heatsink and fan to keep it cool. I just orderd a Globalwin Fop38 in hopes of hitting 1.1 gig with my 600 duron and a7v. I'm at 1010 right now with only an orb heatsink. Good luck.

Your not going to get there with FSB alone, you have to unlock those L1 bridges to effectivly overclock the AMD socket A chips using the multiplier, other wise it is a no go.

After running it for awhile to heat the glue up, get a balde for a 5" wall paper scraper (Home Depot paint section) To cut it free. It's basically a 5" long razor blade and is thin enough that you should be able to get it up under the heatsink.

Err...I'm not sure this is such a wise idea... The core is very fragile, as is the CPU itself, I would be wary of using sharp blades or anything else near it! Try just heating it up and pulling it off. If the heat from the CPU melted the glue to begin with so it attached, chances are it can do it again so it can be removed. Remember, heatsinks aren't meant to be permanent additions to your CPU...are you sure that you remembered to remove the plastic from the thermal pad? I've never heard of any "glue" on heatsinks before...
