Multiplier lock on pentium 3 chipset? *edit*Help!

[Captain_Splat]

I have an Intel W6BXA 440BX mobo, And i can't get my damn pIII 450 above 558 MHZ. It won't boot at 133FSB, and 124 is as high as i can get it. The multiplier settings are changeable but appear to have no effect. My question is this: Is there a way to get around the multiplier lock on my P3450? And how can it be done? Again i Have an Impressions W6BXA Intel 440BX chipset motherboard. Any ideas are appreciated.

damn. Spent all that money on cooling for nothing. Oh well my dad has an ASUS A7M sitting in a box. It's got one of the traces broken near the cpu(screwdriver trying to remove a Golbalwin fop22 or something fan. Big ass fan). Anyone know how to fix a trace? I don't know what kind of equipment i need. The trace is squished against 2 other traces on either side, but the 2 are just fine. Think it would be safe to get a needle and scoop up the squished trace bits, mask the other 2 traces, and get a conductive pen to bridge the gap? I'm not sure if it's broken, could be just shorting against the other2 traces, but i think they have a non-conductive coating.

You might be able to get it to 133FSB by raising the core voltage. If you cannot dothis in BIOS you can still do it by covering certain cantacts with tape. Make a new paost on THAT topic and an old time overclocker might just tell you how.

Back to you Tom...

you could use a conductive pen to try to close that trace
