guys im not all that sure on what i got to do to change the voltage and fsb multipliers, i dont understand this wire trick can someone explain it for me
 
You can't change the core voltage on your mobo unless you do a volt mod to your mobo. Do a search in this forum, there are extensive posts on this subject.

As for the multi, I don't think you can change it in the bios unless cheepo found a way to come out w/ a bios that allows multi adjustments.

The wire trick is commonly used by XP2100 tbred owners who don't have access to 12.5x and lower multis so they can access the lower multis in place of the 13x and highers multis.

You can change the multipliers on the chip to whatever you want. I changed my 1700+' multiplier to 14, works great.

The only way to overclock my k7s5a is to use the chepoman bios, and up the fsb.

Whats the chepoman bios? How well does it work? I got an extra rig with this mobo and I got a AGOIA 1600+ in it. I would like to OC it atleast a little bit. How would I do this?
 
You have to Flash the bios with a hacked version, then you have the option to change the fsb up to 166/166. I would take the chipset heatsink off, and use some arctic silver instead of the doublesided tape too.... I believe the bios link is in the k7s5a faq.
 
I use the Honey-X bios and am happy running it at 143 MHz.

Aviable FSB settings:

100.9 / 100.9 MHz
107 / 107 MHz
110 / 110 MHz
112 / 112 MHz
124 / 124 MHz
133.9 / 133.9 MHz
137.33 / 137.33 MHz
100 / 133 MHz
133 / 100 MHz
133 / 166 MHz
166 / 125 MHz
143 / 143 MHz
147 / 147 MHz
150 / 150 MHz
166 / 166 MHz
200 / 200 MHz
 
To modify your multiplier and voltage you can refer to my thread HERE

Good Luck :) Its not really that hard and pretty good results from a $45 mobo I think!
 
its hard to get a good pc on a tight budget too thatnks for the help guys i think ill wait and get the athlon XP 2200+ and the gigabyte board with the kt400 chipset
 
wire trick away, it went to 2.35ghz @ 1.69v 17x multi with very little effort. nothing but wire trick was used.
