A7V Overclocking

[Bankboy]

I am running an A7V with the KT133 and an Athlon 1200C -- please spare me the responses "the A7V is supposed to run with 100 MHz FSB" -- and I want to get it to run the T-Bird @ 1.2Ghz. The multiplier is locked @ 9, but this should be okay b/c 9 x 133 = 1197 MHz. I can get the board to run it at 1053MHz (9 x 117) okay but at 120 I get nothing --> No POST, nada, nothing. I have to reset the CMOS and go back to 117 FSB. Would adding more voltage to the CPU help this, or am I stuck at 117? Has anyone else run into problems with this and found a solution?

Thanx!

I think the FSB of the A7V can't go much over 115Mhz ...
Try raising the multiplier ... 1.2Ghz TBird C has unlocked L1 bridges, no?

I think it was a feature of the KT133 chipset that it won't go much over 115-120Mhz. In this case I think the answer you don't wat to hear....

You'll need the KT133A chipset to get to 133 and above.
