Hi folks,
was hoping someone could help me out with a small issue. I have in my sweaty little hands a multiplier unlocked 2.4GHz
Northwood chip. I recently purchased a ABIT TH7-ii MB.
Turns out for some reason, it won't let me set my multiplier higher
than 19x (20x with the latest ABIT beta bios). So with the 100MHz FSB I can't go any faster than 1.9 or 2 GHz. At 133MHz
FSB with a 3X RDRAM, I run just slightly unstable, but at 100 everything is rock solid. I just want the 24x multipler to work so I can run at 2.4GHz at the 100MHz FSB speed.
I think that perhaps the multiplier unlocked setting is confusing the BIOS somehow and it is defaulting to a safe maximum multiplier. How do I overcome this? Is there a different BIOS I can try, or perhaps a DIP switch on the MB itself? Oh, by the way, I have also tried the latest bios from Mr. Natural's site (nice work Mr. Natural! ), but that one, aside from it's very nice other features, also seems to default the max multiplier setting to 19x.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
