HELP! A7N8x dlx Overclocking Problems

WHen I first boot (clean CMOS) it, the fsb and mult. are set to auto. It's puts my XP 2600+ at 166 with a 6.5 multiplier. Although it's actually running at 2075 (according to Sandra), I'd like to know why it's only telling my 166*6.5.


Beyond that, if I change the FSB by even 1, or change the multiplier by 1, I get a message saying "Warning - CPU has overspeed."


I thought that the nForce2 boards were supposed to allow at least minor overclocking without modifications to the processor.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

(Athlon XP 2600+ (333), A7N8X Deluxe, 2x 256MB Corsair XMS PC3200).

i get a similar problem, bios 1001C tells me i am at 12.5/13 when i set it at auto with 133fsb, but the XP2400 has a multi of 15!!!??

and also is there any bios that auto unlocks yet?

The problem is the version of Bios you are using, get either version 1001.C or 1002, which will allow you to overclock.

Here's another problem. When I run the BIOS flash ute (the one built onto the board - alt+F2 on boot), and type the name of the bin file, it says, without fail, file not found.

I've tried a:\whatever.bin, whatever.bin, a:whatever.bin


How should I be doing that?

also i do have 1001 C?

Awesome. The 1001C fixed it. Now I'm running it at 204MHzX11.5 (1.75V) on aircooling.

Thanks again.
