This sucks... my athlon read guys...
 

still wont go to 133fsb... at all... my athlon guys... I did the thing with the rear window defogger kit... it still wont... hrmmmm.... pff... this sucks!

ok, more details are needed. what ram, cpu, mobo?

hmm... soyo k7v dragon.. ddr333 kingmax ram... i guess thats all you need... bump....

What multiplier, what RAM settings, what temps, what voltages, and what else is in your system?

Suggestion - disconnect/remove/disable everything except your video card, floppy drive, and keyboard. Set your CPU multiplier to 8. Set your RAM timings to slowest (2.5,3,3,6,3,2T, etc.). Set your AGP to 1X. Disable Fast Writes, Byte Merge, USB, and any onboard extras (sound, RAID controllers, etc). Have a bootable floppy. Now starting at what you know it boots at (FSB wise) start raising the FSB by 5Mhz at a time, see if it boots. Even better, download MemTest86 and put it on the floppy. Let it run a pass of the standard tests before saying "ok, this FSB is good".

Once you find the Max FSB, if it is still less than 133Mhz go into your BIOS at the highest it will run at and look at your voltages and temps. What are they?

the highest i get is 120 and the temps are this 38c load and idle is 33c and the ambient is 22c

stupiud question but are u sure the chip is 133mhz and not a 100mhz

can't remember which line of the stepping it is, but at the end of one of the lines there is either a "B" or a "C" if it's B the chip is a 100mhz bus chip, if its a C the chip is a 133 bus chip....

but the B chip should run fine at 133 providing you lower the multiplier .5 I believe.....


also is there a 100/133 jumper on that board??

drop the multiplier

yeah, it may have a 1/3 and 1/4 problem with a 100/133 jumper. just drop the multiplier too

hmm my guess is that its low quality OCZ ddr 333 RAM.... is it?

actually no..
 

the fact is its an athlon-b instead of c that is the 133fsb version... so i can only go up to 132 at most... but the ram is fine... its kingmax ddr333 tinyBGA... which is sweet and my soyo k7v dragon
