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. what is going on ?

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.

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.

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
