Athlon 900 help

[dvda420]

I recently bought this MB with an Athlon 900 CPU. I am having a lot of trouble trying to OC the chip with this MB. The manual says that there are 3 jumpers which must be set in order to override the default clock multiplier and than a set of dip switches is used to set the multiplier. However, only two of these jumpers actually exist.

I have also tried changind the bus speed of the motherboard, but the system becomes unstable at 105 bus speed and therefore this has not been very beneficial.

When I boguht the CPU I was hoping that I would at least be able to take it to 1050 or maybe even 1200 Mhz. Has anyone had any luck with trying to OC an athlon t-bird with this MOBO? Any suggestions for what I can do?

did you unlock the L1 bridges? I'm not familiar with that board, I don't know if it's a via chipset it's got or what... but if it is a kt133 you won't be able to go much over 100fsb, if it's a 133a (which it sounds it isn't) then you should be able to do 133 mhz fsb.. maybe there isn't sufficient dip switches and jumpers on the board to oc, maybe it's not an oc board.. hopefully someone that knows more about that board will reply too.. but make sure your L1 bridge is unlocked if you want to oc with the multiplier..

The board uses a kt133 chipset. Also how do I unlock the L1 bridge?
