duron 700

[neil2uk]

hi i have a duron 700 mhz and i tryed to overclock it today but in the bios it wont let me change the core voltage it will only let me change my memory speed and my mhz speed and it will not let me access that option beause it wont let me highlight it ould somone help me and tell me what i have to do i have joined the L1 bridges up but that dont do anything

duron 700 mhz

motherboard is a socket a m810lr

thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum!

hmm, can you change the multiplier in bios? I'm not familiar with your mobo, but it seems that if it is unlocked, you should be able to change the voltage.

It could end up that you will also need to do a pencil trick on the L7's I believe to change the voltage directly on the chip.

thanks for your repy i can see core volt and multiplier in the bios but it wont let me change them at all. on bridge l7 which one do i have to connect? thanks in advance

[Carmine_Paterno]

You have to connect all of them.

This will give you 1.85v (in reality 1.888v). Make sure you have good enough cooling as that much of a voltage increase will raise your temps quite a bit.

Also look for something that is set to "AUTO". Change that to manual, that might allow you to change your voltage, fsb, and multiplier.

Hope that helps.

hi i have just checked my processor and it only has L1 L2 L3 and L4 it does not have L7

and in the bios it has cpu brand - amd k7
cpu type - duron
cpu speed - 700mhz it will let me change this to 933mhz but when i do that it wont boot
cpu core voltage - 1.600v it wont let me change this
cpu ratio - 7x it wont let me change this
cpu frequency - 100mhz it wont let me change this
dram frequency - 133 mhz it will let me change this

could someone help me please thanks in advance

[Carmine_Paterno]

All chips have the l7 bridges...look all aroudn the chip....connect them all and you have 1.888v

[JAWS]

Make sure that the L1's aren't touching each other.
Did you use a pencil or defogger paint?

[neil2uk]

ok i did that and then went in to the bios and chaged it to 933mhz and it worked thanks to you guys . do you know how to get it past 1 ghz . thanks very much for your help. sorry 1 more question what is a good temperature for 933mhz is 50 ok or is it to high

[lonewolf1983]

the m810lmr is not a good overclocking board
like all intergrated mobos

the mhz setting you have selected has nothing to do with the unlocking of the chip
u achieved this through bumping up the fsb i think
stock=7*100 =700mhz
yours=7*133=933mhz

as its not an overclockers mobo its most likely that the multipliers/voltage controls are on the mobo(dip switches or jumpers)
and it probably only had 100mhz and 133mhz fbs selector too(to accomadate both durons and the newer athlons)

[neil2uk]

ok thanks for that does it still me that my computer is running at 933mhz? and is there anyway to make it faster ? thanks in advance

Going from 700 to 933 would be caused by changing the FSB from 100 to 133. Your multiple is still probably 7.0. Hopefully you have a switch bank somewhere on the board that your motherboard manual or specs at the manufacturer's web site will show you how to change the settings to alter the multiple.

As for temperatures its really dependent upon what kind of setup you have. 50c from just a stock heatsink/fan combo doesn't seem too bad but you could probably do better with even just a little case modding and/or aditional fans. I recommend putting in a duct directly from the side of the case, over the cpu's fan, straight down to the edge of the fan. It costs less than most other options (a few bucks at most), you don't have to worry about any kind of leakage like you do with water cooling and as long as your room temperatures aren't too high you get good results. My duct lowered my cpu temp by 6c under load. On very hot days the benefits are completely neutralized unfortunately.

hi thanks for the reply i got the manual and it says this in it can you tell me what it means please
Socket-462 Processor Support
Supports AMD Athlon/Duron processors
Supports 200 MHz Front-Side Bus

Processors are automatically configured using firmware and a synchronous Host/DRAM Clock Scheme.
how can i get past this so it will let me configure it myself thanks in advance

[Bubba]

I'm not familiar with this board but some stock mobo's you just cannot change these things which it sounds like you have.The only reason you were able to get it to 933 is because the board is set up to accept the newer Athlons running at 266.That's also a big jump in one shot.Make sure you keep an eye on your specs or you'll blow that thing up!

[GuNRocK]

Umm it looks like your board doesnt have Dip switches then.....by the way all mobos say taht so u drop it in and it works configurd automaticaly look on the board for ussually a blue bank with 5-10dip switches...and what ones to flip are writen on the board ussualy....700Duron goes to 950 then i guess u could do 133 buss....so 9.5 will probly be the max u can get...but your mobo might not have the multiplyer adjusting capiblities....i havnt heard of a board that lets u do it inteh bios ....mine only does FSB in bios and onboard and vcore in bios and onboard. well good luck tring to get the Multiplyer up...at least ur farther then me i am stuck between a rock and a hard place tring to get 133 buss on my board to work :)

[neil2uk]

hi i have had another look at my motherboard and it does not have any Dip switches at all does this mean i can not overclock my processor at all? and if i cant should i wipe of the pencil to set my core voltage back to 1.600 thanks in advance

[GuNRocK]

well yes and no....u cant oc your computer with out overclocking everything in it.... but fsb is good if u have good components that can handle outa spec speeds

Go here:http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/00q3/000711/index.html (http://) To check out an article about changing the mulitple from one fixed setting to a different (higher) fixed setting. If you try this you'll need to break some connections as well as make new ones. I've never tried this but I've read that some people have used circut board etchant for this. I'd check out all of the options if I were you however.

Just a suggestion, hope it helps.

That mobo is designed to take the new "C" type Athlon chips (133/266 FSB) so he really isn't running things out of spec. Setting the FSB to 133 also sets his PCI divider to /4 instead of /3 and AGP to 1/2 instead of 2/3.

As far as removing your pencil on the L7's, if you want to keep it overclocked to 933, don't do it. Going back to default voltage will almost certainly keep you from running your chip @ 933. I have a Duron 700 that I had running at 1.825 volts and 954 MHz for a long time so 933 is not a bad overclock. (Average OC speed in the CPU DB is 948 MHz). If your temps are not getting much higher than 50 C under load I would say that is OK.

In the future if you plan on overclocking you might want to consider a higher quality motherboard with more adjustments and a better HSF unit.

so far u just moved up the FSB to 133??? get out a HB pencil and connect the L1 going bottem to top in sets of 2......and see if u can change multiplyer.......by the way whats the code and week on that cpu....give me a day or so and i will get u mine.....becuase mine is unlocked as far as i know.
