can't change fsb anymore!

[btvillarin]

Okay, I've just unlocked my TBird 850. I wasn't able to change the multiplier, but now I could. But before, I was able to change the FSB. Now, I can't change that...

BTW, the voltage is at 1.85v, and all I wanted to do is see how high I could go at 133 FSB. Can anybody help me?

System Specs:
Asus A7V133
Athlon T-Bird 850
256MB SDRAM CAS2 (Micron)
IBM 75GXP Deskstar 30GB 7200RPM
ATI Radeon 32MB SDRAM
Creative Labs Soundblaster Live! Value
3Com 3C905B-TX-NM Fast Etherlink XL PCI NIC
Swiftech MC370-0A Cooler w/AS2
Midtower Case w/300 Watt power supply

sounds like a bios/cmos problem.
clear the cmos, that'll fix it if I'm right.

hold on, before you do anything drastic and screw things up permanently post some more specs. You forgot the major ones that go into overclocking such as YOUR MOTHERBOARD!!!!, and everything you have on your PCI bus, and your memory brand and CAS speeds. List these things and that may explain in itself why you cant go any higher. And as a general rule of overclocking you want the LOWEST stable VCORE, dont just push it to 1.85 right away.

Even a broken watch is right twice a day...

Man, I feel like a dork...

I had the JEN jumper set in 2-3. That's why I couldn't change the FSB. But I think it was weird that I could change the multiplier when I <b>couldn't</b> change the FSB...

Anyways, thanks for the replies! And, if anybody wants to enlighten me on why I could change the multiplier even though the JEN jumper was set wrong, don't hesitate...

well with amd chips you have to unlock the L1 bridge like someone recently did on here with a pencil trick. It will let you go above certain fsb settings. If it is not unlocked the fsb will only go to about 110mhz or so, so look into unlocking it and that will probably solve your problem
