Hello all,
So, I finally got my A7V 1.03 1004D, and plugged my new Tbird 1.1GHz. The board is set up in Jumper Free mode, meaning that all the jumpers on the board are useless. So far, everything works fine. My CPU runs at the expected 1100Mhz (100 bus speed X 11 multip.).
Nevertheless, I have 2 unanswered questions:
1. Looking at the BIOS setup, it appears that my memory only runs at 100MHz. When I try to set the mem. speed at 133, the machine refuses to boot and put the mem speed back to 100. Of course I'm pretty sure that I have PC133 chips (unless somebody screwed me). Any clues?
2. In preparation of future o/c-ing, I cancelled the Jumper-Free mode and restarted the machine without changing any jumpers (i.e. it is setup to 100 X 11.0). After reboot, it appears that my CPU is now running at 1220MHz! Of course, lacking a proper cooling, the whole thing locked up after 5 min. Is it possible that the mobo jumpers are not what they are supposed to mean?
Has anyone ever seen these before?
Thank you.
Sebastien
