both my hard and digital copies of the manual for this board tell me that i have 5 easy to use switches to set my cpu multiplier, so why do i have 6?
i'm trying for a better overclock and i'm pretty sure that if i could set my multiplier one higher i could get my 1.4 t-bird to 1.6 but i cant figure out the switches.
for 6.5x the manual says X X X O X
when it is acually X X X X O X.
for 7x the manual: O O O X X
actual : O O O O X X
from finding this i figured it wouldnt be hard to go any higher, i'd just set switches 2-6 to the book pattern and try O/X with #1. this didnt work, my computer wouldnt even post. (this is with no change to the fsb, only the mult). i then figured that maybe the pattern was shifted backwards and it was the last one i should change. with this setting and the last one at O or X all i got was 1000MHz.
could someone please help me out, i've had this comp for a year and have always wanted to hit 1.6 but only lately have i got the cooling to do it. i'm almost there.
thanks
ps i've posted on the gigabyte newsgroups and have recieved no help at all.
