I've just bought in eBay an Athlon XP-M (mobile) 2800+ CPU. The seller, who is very reputated, says it's UNLOCKED and it can work at 2600 MHz (real), setting FSB at 200 and multiplier at 13, Vcore at 1.90 volts. Lower speeds are also possible. My mainboard is an Asus A7N8X DELUXE rev 1.04. Memory is Corsair XMS DDR400 CAS2. In the past, I had an Athlon XP 2400+ with FSB at 204 MHz and multiplier at 11 without problems at all. After, I sold my XP 2400+ and bought an Athlon XP 3000+. This processor was LOCKED (I wasn't aware of this when I bought it), so I had lower my FSB to 184 MHz, because I couldn't change the multiplier. Now, with this new processor, my motherboard can't enable multipliers over 10.5, so I can't take advantage of the high overclockability of this processor. The current setup is 200x10.5 = 2100 MHz, far from the expected speeds. How can I enable higher multipliers?. I've read about a pinmod that can enable this multipliers in this motherboard. Is this posible?. I have also tried to change the FSB on the fly, in Windows, but the PC simply freezes, the program that does this doesn't work on nforce2 boards. I have also tried with other bios, and to no avail. Is there a solution for this problem?
Thanks.
Thanks.
