How to adjust Multiplier in Award bios 6?

[grey186]

I'm running a
Duron@816
kt133e (via686A)
Award Bios 6.00PG
256 SDRAM PC133.
I can adjust the CPU Host/PCI. System becomes unstable at 848. I know how to close the L1 bridges (thanks to OC Beg guides ;) , haven't closed them yet). But after I close them, what next? There is nothin in the bios for multiplier adjustment other than CPU Host/PCI. Can you tell I'm a newbie yet?
Board has jumpers for Host Clock 100 or 133. Set it for 133, refuses to boot. I have the CPU Host/PCI set at 102/34.
No power adjustments in bios either.
Is there any hope for me :(

oh uh some1 didn't o/c correctly, you tottaly missed the first step 1 and 2. If you haven't broken anything you may still make it. let me remind you of the 2 rules:

1. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING, READ THE Motherboard manual. Study it, it's your bible!

2. Repeat step #1 beucase we all know you just skimmed it, didn't you? heh


But seriously, I'm not trying to be unfriendly I just want to save your butt, there are a milion and one ways that you can kill your motherboard if you don't follw your heavenly bible.

thks train, everything I read on OC said the same thing, so I've basically commited the manual to memory, even went to Award website and downloaded it again in case there was an update.

The manual contains about as much information about adjusting the FSB and multipliers as it does about which MacOS is better, 9 or X....
To quote from the 'Bible' pg4-22,"CPU Host/PCI/Spread Spec : Allows the external clock to be modified, depending on what FSB has been selected. Should not be used to clock processor faster than it was intended. Default is : Default"
That's it. Nothing more. And the rest of the manual is just as cryptic.....

some boards don't have multiplyer adjustments, yours may be one of them. if your luky you may be able to run at 133fsb if you up the vcore and get good cooling. 8x133= 1064 so you need to be pretty lucky to get that high. another alternitive is to alter the bridges that control the multiplyers on the chip, but thats rather hard.

I had the same problem with my MS-6378 board. had the exact same problem u had. I could only get my Duron 800 up to 856 by upping the fsb. I feel your pain.

lol, thks iggy for a while there I thought I was being extremely dense and missing something. Looks like if I want to get into to some serious overclocking I'm gonna have to spring for a new board :cool:
