first off sorry if i sounded paniced or fed up in any of the other posts, ... i was... not at any of you though just myself , so sorry and thanks for all your help.
heres what happened:
i found the picture i was looking for on the site crazy pc wich is where i bought the epoxy kit that i mentioned in the other posts, not the overclocking store as i had thought.
anyway on there site you can search for "arctic silver epoxy t-bird unlocking kit" and then enlarge the image with the bridges already connected and youll instantly see what i had previously missed.
you see the conectors that are about a centimeter in length and are aligned perfectly with the L3 bridge witch looks the same, 4 in a row verticaly and perpendicular to the l3.
anyway on the very small like i said a cent. or so there is a very , very ,very small split, im talking teenie.
thats it , you connect the little split so the L1 is a continuous strip.
do all 4 and tada youve done it.
so now that ive done this i can only seem to adjust the # in the bios to a 7 or 7.5.
any lower and it wont boot at all.
right now im at 7.5 x 133/33 and all is stable.
28 deg cel./ 8600+ 3dmarks no distortion or problems that i can see.
still ill probably opt for the lower sett of 896 or 933 with 7 x 133.
still i cannot get anywhere near the 150 fsb that im in search of, the memory garauntees 150 mhz at cas2 or higher than that at cas 3.
i went to a bulletin board off of the mushkin site and found this to be the case with many mushkin users.
my voltage is at 1.85 and vcore @ 3.4 ( sandra says my max vcore is 3.3)
what do ya think? can i get to the 150 mhz?
in theroy i should but something is holding me back.
why wont the system boot at less than 7?
no matter the fsb it just wont boot ( 110 x 6, 133 x 5 or 6 or 6.5 nothing)
what would you do??
seems wierd that it will opt for booting at 999 for example at 7.5 x 133/33 but it wont boot at all at 6 x 133/33 or even 6.5 x 133/33 wich would be a lower over all overclocking.
why doesnt it want the lower numbers?
before i unlocked the multiplier it was locked at 8.
now i can use 7 , 7.5 , or 8. still not right, i need 6 and 6.5 !
what can i check or disable ?
oh well were getting there.
I swear ill stick with this thread now that the panic is gone and were just tweaking again.
thanx again, ps i havent slept in 2 days since i started this, lol
UPDATE!!!
i got the fsb to 145 x 7 and booted and ran most things ok but crashed in 3dmark the high detail adventure game test.
now its at 143 x 7 reading a kooool 1.02 ghz
koool as in 28 degrees celsius on the chip cooler in the case and around 35 degrees in the power supply.
anyway all i need now is to get to 7 to a 6 and im sure i can run the 150 or 155 even, so if you have any ideas how to get the system to boot at the lower miltplier im still trying.
