Trying to O/C a 733EB! HELP!!!!!!

[Mysta_Killa]

I have been trying to OC a 733EB on a soyo 7is2 mb with 256meg of ram (pc100), however, it won't allow me to change the multiplier in the bios. WTF? Actually I take that back, I can change the multiplier but it does'nt apply it, it sets it back to 5.5 (I guess default), everytime I boot up, the only way it seems I can OC is to change the FSB but I didnt want to set that to high, I have it at 145 right now and its running fine and ofcourse the multiplier is at 5.5 which makes the cpu run at 800, but I wanted to increase the muliplier to increase the cpu, what can I do?
Or is the multiplier LOCKED on the cpu? I have heard stories that it is but I dont know.
Please help! Thanks!

Intel locks there multiplyers so you can only change the FSB on the chip...kinda sucks....so what you have heard is true...

[Exiler]

Intel locked the multiplier, no matter what you do it will always set to the 5.5, only the FSB is the only way, plus yours is a EB chip, not much room for o/c

Intel locks it's multiplyers and there is no known way to change them.
Unfortunately the EB chips are the hardest to overclock due to them being on a 133mhz fsb to start with, and with such a low multiplyer it would be hard to get the full speed out of the cpu due to other components not liking the high fsb. I would recomend auctioning it and trying to get hold of a p3 700E which you should get to 933mhz and maybe over 1ghz

if he is runing PC 100 ram, that's pretty good that he's running at 145FSB already :)
that's unless it's a mistype

[Mysta_Killa]

No its not a misttype, however the motherboard I have allows you to select the speed of your ram without the fsb effecting it...Pretty strange I know, first time I seen a motherboard like that. Kinda nice actually because I did a test and put 256 meg of PC-133 in and I was'nt even able to boot up windows without getting a error, so I took it back out and put my PC-100 back in and its stable as can be....
