amd 1.3gig

[bloodywolf]

having some problems with a new processor and the mother board can only get it up to 1000 when i set settings to 12.5 the monitor will not run. I have however found a setting in the bios for 133 but I am unsure what other bios changes this may ensure or even if it will help me achieve the full potential of the processor.
Surely it cannot be good for the chip to run it at 1000 when it was designed for 1300.

The chip is a duron t-bird 1.3gig and the motherboard is a Asus A7V featuring the Via VT8363 (Apollo Kt133 system controller with support for a 200 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB); up to 1.5gig of PC133/PC100 SDRAM/VC133 virtual Channel Memory. Sdram complies with AGP 2.0specs for 4x 2xand 1x AgP modes. Pci 2.2 bus interface with suppor for 5 pci masters
South bridge PCI set VIA VT82C686A
Pc133 Sdram/VC133 VCM Support
Jumperfree mode Stepless Frequency Selection
Ultra Dma Support. Agp pro slot
this is a Socket A Motherboard

Actual data on mother board is A7V ACPI BIOS Revision 1004
8/21/2000 Via Kt133

Can somone help me get this thing running at 1.3 gig
please feel free to contact me at

So you have 1.3ghz 200fsb cpu?
Then you would run it at 13x100. Changing the fsb in the bios to 133 would require a multiplier of 10, 10x133=1300.

What power supply are you using?

Powermax LP6100D

are the L1 bridges connected?

The asus A7V does not support a 133 fsb that the 1.33 uses to run at default settings. I'm assuming that you have tried 12.5 x 104 (1300) and can't get it to boot?


The reason it is running at 1000 is because it is a 1.33 which means by default that it is set to run at 10 x 133 your board will not support 133fsb so it boots at 10 x 100 giving you 1000. You need to make sure that your L1 bridges are unlocked in order to change the multiplier. There are many guides to doing this"pencil trick".

If they are unlocked you shouldn't have a problem changing the multplier. Make sure that your voltage is set to 1.75.
