I have 3 MSI K7T Turbo2 boards and one Asus A7V133 (long story ... anyone want to buy a motherboard or two?). I also have a Duron 700, Duron/Morgan 1G, and an Athlon 800, all of which I have unlocked with the pencil trick. I can overclock all of them by setting multiplier switches/jumpers in the ASUS board (mixed results if I try to do it jumperfree), but only one of the MSI boards succeeds in resetting the multiplier in the BIOS, and then only on the Athlon. The other board/CPU combos act as if the CPU is not unlocked. I have flashed the firmware to 3.6 in all of them. Questions:
1. The board that works (running the Athlon 800 @ 7.5x133) looks different from the other two. It's red and says "K7T Turbo2" on it, whereas the other two are green and say "MS-6330 VER:5" on them. My understaning is that these are the same boards - looks that way on the MSI site. Am I missing something?
2. Is there anything else that could be causing this? I've tried swapping memory around, but that seems a little silly. It's not an issue of stabililty, but rather multiplier locking. I can't even change the multiplier to a LOWER number. I'm pretty sure I've gone through all the BIOS settings to make sure they're the same.
3. As long as I've typed all this, anyone know why I would be able to overclock the ASUS A7V133 with the switches but not in JumperFree mode?
Thanks for any assistance you might be able to give...
