HELP!!!

my AMD 1600XP says it is running at 1050mhrz

whats wrong ???????


i ran benchmark progs on it and it beats my 1.3tbird, but it says running at 1050

HELP!

What says that it is 1050MHZ?

Go to the BIOS and set it to 1400 mhz, silly.

make sure you don't have a jumper that puts it a 100MHz because that is your FSB right now...if you do, change it to 133 and all will be fine

have a blast with your 1600

Is its booting in safe mode 10.5 x 100FSB - change it to 133!

 

[ManOfKnight]

hahaha OC Detective...beat ya to it

 

[OC Detective]

lol true but it might just be the BIOS or it may be the jumper on the mobo!

It is amazing how many times I see this exact post. Someone saying that there CPU is not as fast as it shoud be. My friend bought an 1600XP, had it for 3 months, was complaining about performance so I went over there and helped him with his 100/133 FSB settings. I know my Soyo Dragon Lite defaults to 100MHz if you clear the CMOS no matter what type of CPU is in it.

*remembers the days of Tandy TRaSh-80's and Commodore Vic-20's*

1050MHz isn't what it's supposed to be (yes, it's running at 100FSB), but relatively speaking......

ahhhhh.. thx alot guys. your right on the bus speed.

i change the CPU jumper? ill look it up.

thx

i changed the memory speed to from 100 to 266,

but the cpu one wont change........whats up with that?? it wont let be get a 133 bus. i know the motherboard suports it. so why isnt it letting me??????

please please help.

 

[OC Detective]

Its not your memory speed thats the problem it is your Front side Bus that is incorrect - have you checked the jumpers and BIOS?

10.5x 100. set the fsb properly

 

[skahtul]

Here is what I can think of. Some motherboards support changing the FSB via jumpers on the motherboard, some support changing them in the BIOS. Now I am not familiar with your mobo, but some support both (I have no idea why). Just check them both and set it to 133. That’s it. (don't mess with your multiplier)

 

[Mr B]

There "should" be a jumper on the board somewhere (check your manual...you do have it, right?? If not, d/l if from the manufacturer). Should be a three pin configuration, like the Clear CMOS one. The jumper can be put on either pins 1+2 or 2+3, one being 100FSB, the other 133.

Ok...I just checked Biostar's site...they don't seem to have a manual available, so I took a look at the closest one (I think) to yours...the M7VIF. (KT333)

If it's the same as yours...look for a set of four jumpers in a square next to or around the 1st PCI slot. According to this manual (again, NOT FOR YOU MODEL, but might be similar), no jumpers on pins 1+2 and 3+4 is 100FSB, jumpers on both 1+2 and 3+4 is 133FSB. There might be markings printed on your board indicating that these are the jumpers (JCLK).

Most mobo's have jumers, but many like my Gigabyte have DIP switches for FSB and Multiplier. Just thought I would throw that in.

 

[SlowBurn]

When I clear the CMOS on my Abit KD7 it always says 1050 MHz on the screen before I go into the Bios and change the FSB. I chuckle everytime I see it.

thx guys. you people are awsome

good thing I didnt call AMD
