asus a7v(original) + 1400 tbird 266fsb by change m

[coho66]

Just a question for any experienced AMD overclockers/modifiers...
I have an original a7v motherboard and I'm trying to upgrade it to its maximum, which would be a k7 1400 if i'm not mistaken. However, for the money, a 1400 with a 266mhz fsb is considerably cheaper than a 1400 with a 200mhz fsb. I was wondering whether it would be possible for me to purchase a 1400 with a 266mhz fsb, change the multiplier from 10.5(x133) to 14(x100) and still have it function properly with this motherboard?? Any recommendations for unlocking methods and/or kit manufacturers? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think the old A7V only went up to a 12X multiplier and I also think all the 1400/266 T-birds came unlocked, you would be limited to the 12X setting. Not sure about how the 1400/200 MHz. FSB chips worked... maybe they were locked and ignored the mobo settings.

You could check to see if Asus has a BIOS update that supports higher multipliers than 12X...
