? about onlocking cpu
Hi.
First post to this forum, I am just starting to fool around with learning how to overclock.
Heres what I'm working with
Abit KG7 Mobo
T-Bird 1333 ayhja
256 megs mushkin cas 2 PC2100 ddr ram
Glacier cooling fan
ATI 64 DDR video Radeon
Hercules Game Theater sound
neatgear fa311 nic
431 watt enermax psu
and just for looks a sony trinitron 19" monitor
My question is....I understand about unlocking the multiplier on the CPU, (although I havent done it yet).
Seems like most of the performance comes from the FSB.
Why do I need to unlock it why can't I just turn up the FSB
Ok I can only turn up FSB to 139 as soon as I try 140 or above it won't boot from the hardrive.I have fooled the ram timings as far as slowing them down and tried nudginging the power up. But no go.
Do I need to turn down the multiplier to get it to go higher or what?
BTW my temp at 139 idles around 40
