Hello all, I have a slight problem which I hope someone may be able to shed a little light on...
I'm running a pair of PIII 933's with 1Gb of 133MHz DRAM on a ECS EliteGroup D6VAA motherboard. I'm running the front side bus at 147MHz and have had no reliability issues in Win2K and wanted to push things a bit further. Currently each PIII is running at 1.022GHz and I feel like 1.1GHz should be fairly easy to reach but my multiplyer seems to be locked. It is currently on 7xFSB and I have the option in BIOS to take it up to 8 but if I raise it in the BIOS it still appears as "147 x 7 (2 procs)" in my POST screen. I've looked thru the manual and the only jumper options I could find just enable the FSB to be altered (which is obviously not the problem). If I take the FSB any higher I get blue screen problems and I can't boost the voltage in BIOS as it only seems to let me view it rather than change it.
Does anyone know if this is something that can be resolved by a re-flashing of the BIOS or something? I'd tell you what version BIOS I have but that would involve a reboot and I'm in the middle of something at the mo :-)
Thanks
Rob
