GIMME MY MHZ!!! AHHH

I recently built my first system. I purchased an Athlon XP box processor 1.4 ghz. Everything went fine except it only showed up as 1050 MHZ!!!! AHH! Well i asked around, some people said flash your bios... which i did. Still the same. Some said that maybe it was underclocked so i should mess with the multiplier. Except i bought a Gigabyte board which didnt come with that option. Someone please give me some other suggestions, they would be much appreciated.

Athlon XP 1600+
Gigabyte 7vtxe (AMI Dual Bios)
Visiontek Geforce2 Ti
40 gb Maxtor DiamondMax Plus
SB Audigy X-Gamer

your processor is running at 100 MHz FSB. set the FSB jumper on the board (refer to the manual) to 133 MHz FSB and you are done.

the processor has a multiplier of 10.5 which gives 133x10.5 = 1400 MHz, but since its running on 100 MHz its just 1050 MHz.

You're right, I see this kind of post often.

My case has so many fans that it hovers above the ground .

Well I realize now it was an idiotic question, but im a first timer Sorry to bore you, must have skipped that page in all the excitement of configuring my mobo, gg thx you very much for the people that ACTUALLY helped me.

Is it really that bad? So im an idiot, dont make fun of me...

It's not that bad.

In general though, reading the manuals of these high-tech devices is a good idea. MBs have all sorts of nice things that they talk about in the manual, like how to set the FSB for an athlon XP, and other usefull things. Most people feel it is a sign of weekness to use the manual unfortunately.
