    Ahhhh de pain de pain

     
    This is killing me I am trying to over clock my second system and am just not having any luck. I have read about 40 or 50 articles all over the internet on the subject but still no advance. Had no problems with my mainstay she OC'ed just fine. Here the facts

    Amd Duron 750
    Ecs K7VTA3 mb
    2x128 ddr pc2100
    Award bios flashed with newest release
    1.5 GB HDD
    Leadtek Geforce II 32mb
    mid tower 250W

    What am i doing wrong tried the L1 pencil no difference. Bios old or new has no adjustable settings. The only CPU setting is on the mobo and it selects between 100mhz and 133mhz and I cant get her to boot @ 133mhz. Some one please help before this sys goes the way of the window.

    Your mobo doesn't have a multiplier or voltage jumper? If not, then you have got an overclocker unfriendly motherboard....

    Look out the window before you toss it to make sure that it doesn't hit anyone!

    sorry ryogenetic, that's just how it is on those boards. it's a plug-n-play board ya see. far as i know, no bios update will change the memory timing.

    All she has is a bios voltage jumper 5v or 3.3 that would really suck to know I was hoping to make this system an over achiever.

    For me it was a cheap fast build - given that I was happy to get going in the end -
    the next one will be researched before hand though

    Actually I dropped a pretty penny on that board but that is the state of thing over here all the technology I read about is months if not years from becoming available over here at a good price.

    yeppers, you and i are on the same boat. that's why internet 24/7 is really important to me. i need to keep up with tech. and global prices.

    at least you get your phones cheaper there.

    Oh you can drop a pretty penny on those sense the 900mhz band is used by officials(police and emergency crews) also depends on what you want for features. Great now I cant even flash the bios. I am so close to sending this machine on a one way trip to the ground level with the primary motivation being my foot!!!!!!!

    U can still overclock that cpu, but not by reconnecting L1 bridges, u can set the multiplier via the L3 and L4 bridges I think it is. Tom's hardware had an article with the full-chart of multiplier bridge combo's....

    connecting the L1 bridge on the Duron/Athon4 unlocks the multiplier the other bridges changes the voltages. you shouldn't have to touch the other bridges on your case.

    Heh, the L7 is for voltage setting. The L1 merely allows the motherboard to adjust the multiplier, reset your BIOS and it will default back to teh original multiplier, that's because the multiplier is set via the other bridges. Without L1 connected the cpu works at that multiplier regardless of what the motherboard is set to.

    Here is the Article I was referring to
