I have a 1.33 and it is unlocked but I can't verify that all of them are like this.

mmmm but your 1.33 is an axia. i want to know about the AYHJA chip that was released recently...........................the shop that is closest to me says they are locked from the factory????????????????? thanks

Here's the deal. (I have a 1.4 and a 1.33 ayhja) they are not locked, however people ARE having problems using any multiplier other then default. Here's the deal. You can set it above 10.5 (1.4Ghz) and it WILL boot. But once it's in windows it locks hard. Regardless of the speed. (1.42 locks) I'm not sure if this is localized to the KT7A boards, but I have heard this brought up more then a few times. I haven't heard of a successful multiplier overclock yet. (From the source) Changing the FSB works of course. (This is my experience)

It seems to me to be isolated to the Abit board. I have a 1.33 AYHJA which came with the L1 bridges connected (unlocked) and have recently pushed it to 1.6ghz. When i get my my 172watt TEC going, hopefully i can hit 1.7ghz.

I bet the peltier will actually make things worse. That will be putting out more heat than you may realize. No, I'm not saying you don't know anything, but it will take even one HELL of an efficient watercooling setup to keep that thing cool. Just speaking from experience. :-(

What board are you using with your setup, Neptune?
