    OK, unlocked the chip and have it running at 2000+. However it's REALLY odd that the board goes from multipliers of 11x, 11.5x, 12x, 12.5/13x, 14x, and 15x! What happened to the others, if you have a 2100+ or 2200+ you need to use the default HW multiplier. I've heard this is standard in the 745 chipset and isn't a MSI thing. Anyone know how to get around it? Thanks

      Try using BIOS v1.3

      Bridge L10 controls the multiplier range.

          Well 1.3,1.4 and 1.5 are all the same as far as the mults are concerned. Does anyone know WHY the multipliers are handled this way?

            How is the board faring for you Technoid? This is honestly the most stable board I have ever used. Well, besides the Leadtek 735 board

              This is not an MSI issue but just one of those technical things AMD had to change do to address the FSB/core speed increases.

                Oops, forgot to ask one thing, what multiplier are you shooting for... 10x (via BIOS) per chance?

                  nope... I wanted 13x and 13.5x wanted to run the chip at 2100+ or 2200+ at 133fsb. with the 12.5/13x setting you get 12.5 everytime. When I go to 166fsb UT and 3dmark crash at the second car race test. Plus 14 and 15 seem to revert to a slower speed...

                      I SEE. Since the old Athlon's only had 4 L1 bridges they looped back, so 14x corresponds to 6x.... thanks Greebe

                          Yeah, I was wondering if your watercooling system came in yet, or you found a work around. Guess not

                              A bug?

                              I was just benchmarking my system (see thread in gaming forum) and I also used 3dMark 2001 SE for testing, so far so good. I compared my results online and had a look at my FSB settings... 3dMark says that I am running 66 MHz, but in my BIOS I set it to 133 MHz (DRAM 266 MHz). Is there a bug in the BIOS? Or is it a 3dMark bug? I couldn't find any other MSI 745 Ultra benchmarks or other SiS745 based benchmarks there

                              Maybe someone here can have a look at it:
                              my 3dMark results
