Are u running in Jumperfree mode? If u are, I think u should try the dipswithes instead. I don't believe that anyone has got thier A7V running 133MHz FSB, it must have been a writing error or something like that. If u are lucky u can get the A7V to 115MHz and most can only reach around 110Mhz. U could try to up the VIO volt to 3.69V, that might help u, to reach higher FSB speeds.

I would suggest against using extreme VIO. I've found that this can cause serious problems with some components. 3.5v is already above spec, 3.69 is WAY above spec and it is too much of a liability, IMO.

well i set the Dipswitch to 110 or 115 but it doesn't reflect during bootup.. only displays 100x9.5.. can anyone help? should i unlock anything on the tbird? btw... if i do it in BIOS, it does go up...only max at 103mhz..

Ohhh, U are running in Jumperfree mode, that's why nothing happens when u change the dipswithes. Take a look in ur manual, u can read in here how to set ur computer to run at jumper mode instead of jumperfree mode. When u have done that u can change the FSB by the dipswithes.

Hey Nagorak, my A7V manuel say's that 3.56V is the default, and I have been running at 3.69V for a long time now with no problems, but who know maybe one day my GeForce will fry, U are proberly right, 3.69V is too high.
