Guys I Just Upgraded My Mobo And Graphic Card

[Dray_04]

OK now im officially confused....

my athlon xp 2000+, before i upgraded, ran at 1600GHz.....

but now after installing a new gigabyte mobo, and radeon 9600xt.... its tells me that it is running at 1.2GHz


i am going to cry if i find out that iv fucked up something... :( ...

lol. :angry: :angry: :angry: what is going on ? :01:

is this fixable? why has it changed???

[tesco]

your front side bus is running at 200mhz instead of 266.

edit: The right FSB and multiplier: 133*12.5=1662.5mhz
The wrong FSB and multiplier: 100*12.5=1250mhz...

[lynx]

You need to change your FSB to 133MHz.

The multiplier for your chip is 12
Your current FSB must be 100MHz
100MHz x 12 = 1200MHz
133MHz x 12 = 1600MHz

A simple bios change.

Edit: correction, I mean base frequency not FSB.

[Dray_04]

sorry im a bit of a newb when it comes to fsb...

can you tell me if i can change this? if so, how?

there will be the option in the bios somewher to change the front side bus (fsb) and multiplier although u only do the front side bus.

If that doesnt work there might be a jumper on the board somewhere but its usually done in teh bios now.

[Virtualbody1234]

It's in your BIOS settings in "Advanced Chipset Features."

Set the FSB Frequency to: 133

ok thanks...

ill do it now and ill tell ya the results....
p.s can i put the fsb on the highest setting??? safely..
or is there no point?

say 400mhz

[Virtualbody1234]

No! 400 is too high for that CPU.

[bigdawgfoxx]

NO WHOA!! NOOO haha

Just find a setting that says 100Mhz. Change that to 133Mhz and look for something that says Front Side Bus by it.

You sent me a that PM about helping you.

Download aim and get a name..and ill talk to you on there when you get your 2500XP...no need in bringing up another thread on here lol :)

that would be overclocking it, it would be at 200*12.5=2500mhz which is quite high...try running it at 333mhz (166) and you will get the speeds of an athlon xp 2600+.

[Virtualbody1234]

Before you attempt any overclocking, be sure you understand the risks and how to get out of trouble.

[Dray_04]

well guys... i checked out the bios/..

and it was already on 133mhz


:wtf:

and the multiplier was set to 12.5???

im not sure about your motehrboard but on mine if i set a jumper on teh motherboard to 100 my processor cant be changed from the bios but if i switch the jumper to the 133 position it can be set in teh bios to the 100fsb. its wierd. So what im saying is to check your manual to see if there are any jumpers relating to fsb.


edit: btw, this (http://139.95.253.214/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=17,E=0000000000095810703,K=3801,Sxi=7,Case=obj(1224)) is where i am getting my info on teh fbs and multiplier from.

[Livy]

if it has a multiplyer check that too.

mines has that too, its a safe mode thing it called, u can change the fsb, but it willonly run at what its meant to run at.

[Dray_04]

whereabouts would this jumper be located....


yer you probably thinking... "read the friggen manual" and find out...

...but i kinda lost it... lmao

check the friggin manual&#33; lol j/k. Vb and adam both posted an online manual multiple times and you could also find it yourself by using google or going to the gigabyte website so do that and stop making everybody else find stuff for you.

does this mean i have to change the location of this jumper in order to set my processor back to normal speeds again...


and the multiplier was set to 12.5???

is that under the same section as the fsb in BIOS??

ill have another look brb

How many time am I going to have to tell you that you can download the manual?

There is a switch right beside the northbridge fan.

[Dray_04]

ok according to the manual....... i downloaded it ok...........

the first step is


Set system jumper.. (CLW_SW) & (CLK_RATION)
The clock ration can be switched by CLK_RATION and refer to below table... (ill try and upload it soon) The system bus frequency can be switched at 100Mhz and auto by adjusting CLK_SW




lol i have no idea what that means... whats the name of that site you upload pictures to?>??

[tesco]

uploadit.org?

[Virtualbody1234]

Look for the switch on the motherboard. Right beside the small northbridge fan.

<_< <_< i did...

does that mean that i should just go away and figure it out by myself...

or arent i allowed to ask for help....... <_<

You can upload images to the board&#39;s server.

yeah i thort so....

but where is that option... if you dont mind me asking...

iv seen it somewhere b4

[tesco]

you will finf those wierd names next to some jumpers on hte board and then you set those jumpers however they are shown on the chart which u are trying to upload.

[Virtualbody1234]

Did you find the switch yet, dray_02?

[Dray_04]

i dont want it to be in my signiture....

wont that mean everything else will get deleted?

anyhoo ill do it anyway

[Dray_04]

no it will just uoload it to teh server and give u a link that ur supposed to put into ur signature but u can also put it into a post.

[Virtualbody1234]

Switch it to &#39;on&#39;.

[Dray_04]

ok i tried uploading it to my sig... its only 100kb....

but its too big lol :lol:

oh well.... whats that chinki site....

uploadit.org doesnt work..


....SWITCH IT TO ON???? wtf... ther is no switch saying off/on...

hold on, wait for me to upload the diagram and then we will talk about the switch :P

open it in paint, go to image>stretch&#092;scew>type 80% for the top two thigs then ok then save it and upload again.

edit: and hes right about teh turning it on thing, a jumper ahs 3 pins and only 2 positions, on and off, so if it is off right now switch it to on or if its off switch to on

Page 12 has a picture of the motherboard and you can see the switch near the fan.
Page 18 explains it well and is says on/off.

[tesco]

yeah you just set that clk_sw jumper to the auto (on) position and then you will be able to set it from the bios.

while were waiting...how do you like the gigabyte motherboard Virtualbody? is it good quality? im thnking of a gigabyte for my next board i get, but ofcourse well have to wait and see what happens when all the new lines of stuff comes out.

[Dray_04]

oh ok... should i turn my computer off b4 i swtich it to ON???

:rolleyes: my heros.... all of you :rolleyes:

:) ive learnt something today :) :) :)

all i did was flick one lil button hahahha

thanks VB for showing me whr da switch was... i thort we were going on about that lil blue and white square on the far right between the cpu and memory... the one with 6 switches labeled CLK_RATION 1 - 6


anyhoo thanks you guys...im going to go see if ther will be an improvement in aquamark....

Your lucky it&#39;s a board that just has one switch for the fsb.

I have a board and it has like 6 rows of pins and they have to be connected the propper way fro the correct fsb.

BTW, that board looks freakin nice &#33;&#33;

[Dray_04]

are you sure... because thats what i thort at first....

then i realised that they were different switches all together.
