L1 Bridges on th the AXIA

[Aspect404]

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this one. I bridged my bridges together with a number two pencil, and well, I still cant jump my chip, is the connection bad or something? And.. When i do finally get the thing to work, should I change the multiplier or the bus first?????? Which will have better results and make Max Payne play better? :) Thank all of you for every reply, I dont think you know how appreciative I really am that there is forum where people are not stuck up and get mad over "lesser" questions such as this. I know that you guys are all way past this stuff, so I really do appreciate you taking the time in answering. So thank you again.

you can change the bus now, are you sure youu have penciled the right way, it should go from:

to:

Connecting the L1s doesn't have anything to do with overclocking the bus (front side bus). You can do that without connecting anything.

the L1s are connected so you can up the multiplier.

Pencil doesn't tend to work as well as a conductive paint kit or rear window defogger kit.

Get out the magnifier and make sure you've got them all connected up correctly.

good luck dude.

I had to "redo" mine several times. I'd erase, and try again.

This is one of the best forums out there;) I too was greeted kindly the first time I posted. We all have bad days too & tend to snap at people sometimes or maybe it's just me:D Try & get a hold of a conductive ink pen, it's not really ink but more like a paint dispenser, or rear winshield defogger repair kit to bridge the L1s. It's better to make sure to join them with really good material if just to make sure it aint the cause of any problems. Regarding the Multiplier or FSB, I choose both. Find the highest FSB, lower the Multiplier first, then bump the Multiplier next. Try to get the maximum of both variables to get the highest & most stable clockspeed. Always run some benchmarks & stability tests with any sort of O/C & DO NOT tolerate any form of instability or errors. I suggest you download SiSoft Sandra 2001 (http://www.sisoftware.demon.co.uk/sandra/) and Prime95 (http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm). If you need more help we are happy to lead you in the right direction.

Welcome to the forums, and thanks for the kind words.

Post some more information about your system such as the motherboad, CPU (including the stepping), hsf etc.

With the vast number of members here, just about every combination of CPU / motherboard has been overclocked to some extent.

I'm sure that somebody will be able to get you on the right path.

Good Luck!

My Board is an ASUS a7a266 266FSB with 256 DDR.Chip is a T-Bird 1000mhz AXIA. Due to the fact that I messed up some of the thermal grease on the chip, I have it underclocked to 750mhz. There is some of the original grease on there that I cant get off with rubbing alcohol, how else can I get that off? I want to get a new heatsink, so I was just gonna wait till i got that, but that might be a while. So what mixture of materials or procedures would get that stuff off of there? Thanks again for your reply's

Well i have been going through those problems quite often too and i would like to ask and to know up to how much FSB an
AXIA 1.2 ghz together with a A7A266 can go up to.

I tried to FSB overclock and i was able to get up 1416 which was not bad and i underclocked the ram which was kept to stock level. raised a little bit the Vcore for stability and i was really amazed...no multiplier overcloking

thx for replies !
