AXIA and O/C questions

[Helevitia]

I just purchased a new 1.2GHz TB. It easily overclocked to 1.3 with no voltage increase. I am wondering how good these chips really are? Unfortunately my MB is multiplier maxed out so I can't see how far this thing goes.
Also, I own the original Asus A7V(as some of you know) and even though the clock multiplier only goes up to 12.5, when I set it at this setting, it brings the chip up to 1.3GHz instead of 1.25GHz. Has anyone else seen this? Not that I'm complaining Is there any other way to up the multiplier?

Thanks,

Dave

Dunno bout multipliers, but you could prolly get some decent mhz by oc'ing the fsb. The A7V should make it to about 110mhz, which should bring you from 1.3ghz to 1.43ghz.

Dave,
Why don't you play with the bridges, and try to set the default multiplier higher?

[Helevitia]

ok, got it 104fsb but I dont think it'll go higher. I've tried and it is very unstable. I would need to put a fan/hs on the chipset to achieve higher. Maybe I'll get really bored tomorrow and slap one on. Currently I'm running at 1.352GHz. Amazing that you don't have to change the voltage for it to work.

Wombat, what do you mean play with the bridges and multiplier? You mean the bridges on the chip itself? This chip is unlocked. Also, the multiplier is maxed out. Maybe I mis-understood you?

Thanks,

Dave

Bridges!

Hope this will help!

[Helevitia]

ahh, those bridges Thanks technoid, problem is, what do I do with them? Isn't my chip already at 12.5X ? I still don't understand why I have 1300MHz when my puter is at 12.5x100? I double checked with Sandra.

Don't...

always trust what Sisoft Sandra claims! I have found many errrs in it reports over the last couple of years.

One of which was incorrectly reporting my memory (Crucial "7E") being 3-2-2!
An update some 6 months later solved that Oops!
