Changing FSB 133 to 166 will it work?

DaBone · Dec 3, 2002

Hi all,
I just built my computer a epox MB ep-8k9a kt 400 with AMD 2100 . The MB supports 166 FSB, but I dont know if my CPU can handle it. Does anyone know? If so how do you change it, and do you have to mess with voltage and all that?
Please somebody throw me a Bone

Thanks In advance!!!

You will have to up the voltage in order to run at 166 FSB. Only you will be able to truely answer if the chip can run at 166. Might as well try.

13*166=2158MHz
So no, it won't work, unless you're REALLY lucky and have very good cooling. IE: Not air.

Is your CPU unlocked? If not, can you unlock it? If you do, you could lower the multi and raise the FSB to 166...

quegyboe is right

Did anyone welcome him to the forums?

Welcome to the forums Dabone! I would suggest that you lower your CPU multiplier before you take the FSB to 166. I don't really think an xp2100 can do 2158 mHz... so yeah you'll have to increase your voltage a bit and lower the multiplier, maybe to 12*166 which would yield a speed of 1992 mHz. Please tell me if this actually works; that could be an impressive OC for a 2100+.
