Motherboard Voltage problem.

[Drummenjohn]

Ok. I have an ECS K7S5A Motherboard, and im shure most of you know that the board is shotty...The default voltage on that board is 1.74 wich is pretty low..and cant be changed in bios or by jumpers etc. Because of this I can only run the bus at 100 and not at 133....AND THAT SUCKS Well I was told that if i closed the L7 bridges on the Athlon 1333ghz preocessor, that it would set the voltage up to 1.85. BUT, I cant fun documentation on closeing th L7 bridges....and is this true Does closeing the L7 bridges actully change the voltage to 1.85:confused: ..If so please help me or point me to a web site that walks me through closeing these bridges...I ant to run my processor at its full potential.

Thanks Guys :beer:
