hey all.. I have the Asus A7N8X mobo with a 2600+..
with BIOS 1004-5 I am able to have increment fsb by 1Mhz and also have access to the range of multipliers.. but, I find that if I try using a multiplier above 12.5 and a fsb of 180 or so the system will boot but the cpu speed reads as like 1GHz.. (also, 12.5x180 seems to be the most stable range.. fsb above or below seems unsstable despite increasinf vcore or relaxing memory timing..)
is this because I have not physically unlocked the CPU? I'm just wondering if I really need to do this..
since we're at it anyone used that product "Highspeed PC AMD Unlocknig Kit"? looks like a good little product.. I'm just not sure if I really need it..
