I know that this is the wrong section but I have posted in cpu o/c and I have had no response yet.
I am quite desperate to get this thing working so.....
Abit KT7A Raid and Duron 700
I have just tried to close the L1 bridges on the processor with a very old mechanical pencil. It is the first time that I have tried this and I was careful not to go onto the adjoining bridge each time. The system booted perfectly, but I cannot get the computer to change the multiplier. In SOFTBIOS III I change the multiplier to 7.5 but it still posts with 7 x 100. I have taken out the cpu and gone over the bridges a further 20 times each so the layer is very evident.
What am I doing wrong? Could the pencil have a dodgy lead?Can I wipe off the lead currently on the cpu, and with what?Is there a chance that in wiping it off I may connect two of the bridges by accident ( they are far too small!)Are there ne other settings that I need to change? I was able to change the FSB yesterday, to get the cpu upto 840 but I thought that it was sfare to go with the multiplier increase.
Please help, I am keen to get this puppy up to near gig or at least 900!
