TimPawlak Posted September 21, 2006 CID Share Posted September 21, 2006 http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=123538 it should be 866 mhz.. not w/e the hell it is... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organ_shifter Posted September 21, 2006 CID Share Posted September 21, 2006 Either the FSB or CPU multiplier is set too low. If you motherboard allows it, increasing one of them should fix the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted September 21, 2006 CID Share Posted September 21, 2006 the FSB is wrong, it should be at 133Mhz not 99Mhz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted September 21, 2006 CID Share Posted September 21, 2006 You have a stick of PC100 ram in there... that's why it's running at a lower speed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimPawlak Posted September 21, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 21, 2006 no where in the bios will let me change the FSB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organ_shifter Posted September 21, 2006 CID Share Posted September 21, 2006 You have a stick of PC100 ram in there... that's why it's running at a lower speed... I didn't notice that. Good eye PHP. The memory stick in Slot 1 is crippling the stick in Slot 2 forcing it to run at PC100. Slot 1 : 256MB (PC100) Slot 1 Manufacturer : Hyundai Electronics Slot 2 : 256MB (PC133) Slot 2 Manufacturer : Noname Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimPawlak Posted September 22, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 22, 2006 i have a ton of pc133 memory... for some reason, the pc only has 2 slots.. and it will only run with one pc100 and one pc133... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted September 22, 2006 CID Share Posted September 22, 2006 You have a stick of PC100 ram in there... that's why it's running at a lower speed... that wont clock the CPU down, that will just clock the other stick of 133MHz ram down to 100MHz.

basic Posted September 22, 2006 CID Share Posted September 22, 2006 If the bios does not support setting the CPU clock speed then you have to use the jumpers on the mobo.your manual should show the correct setting for your CPU..."Huhhh,what manual" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimPawlak Posted September 22, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 22, 2006 Huhhh,what manual" haha, yeah.. i got the pc off of a friend... had a celeron 800 mhz cpu in there, so i put in a P3 866... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

php Posted September 22, 2006 CID Share Posted September 22, 2006 that wont clock the CPU down, that will just clock the other stick of 133MHz ram down to 100MHz. On a newer computer, no. But that wasn't always true... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimPawlak Posted September 22, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 22, 2006 if you put the celeron back in will it go to 800mhz? yes, but that cpu is shit...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherealremnant Posted September 23, 2006 CID Share Posted September 23, 2006 yes, but that cpu is S#!t...lol The 866 isn't much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltageman Posted September 23, 2006 CID Share Posted September 23, 2006 that wont clock the CPU down, that will just clock the other stick of 133MHz ram down to 100MHz. But won't it slow down the fsb, therefore in turn slowing down cpu clock? I supposed if you could increase the multiplier, you could go back up to ~866, but I'm not sure if the memory will handle it.

I supposed if you could increase the multiplier, you could go back up to ~866, but I'm not sure if the memory will handle it. Exactly true Voltageman. The memory is hindering the FSB and affecting the CPU. Increasing the multiplier or FSB will get the system back to 866MHz, but the memory won't stand a chance. Speaking from my experience with older CPU's in combination with a motherboard which doesn't allow you to modify the FSB/Multiplier values, the RAM sticks has always done it for me. The PC100 stick of RAM is causing the system to run at 100 x 6.5 = 650MHz. In this situation it's 99.38 x 6.5 = 645.97MHz (645.99MHz on Tim's board). As Basic stated, If the bios does not support setting the CPU clock speed then you have to use the jumpers on the mobo. I've played around with a memory jumper before, and it was located between the PCI slots. It could even be close to the DIMM sockets. Once Tim gets the system to accept two PC133 sticks of RAM, the motherboard will automatically clock the FSB accordingly which, in turn, will allow the CPU to operate at a frequency of 133 x 6.5 = 864.5MHz (possibly 133.3 x 6.5 = 866.45MHz on Tim's board).

MYRIAGON Posted September 24, 2006 CID Share Posted September 24, 2006 TimP......... I found this site at Intel and it sounds like there is a Bios update for this board that may help recognize that CPU. Also it says something about the memory when using 256MB should be 128Bit architecture, or something like that. Might want to kick around that site and see what you can find. Hope this helps... http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/CA810e/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basic Posted September 24, 2006 CID Share Posted September 24, 2006 The setting i was referring to is the CPU ratio jumpers,as close as i can come to the CPU on my mobo in question is 850MHz and the settings are 1=on,2=off,3=off,4=on,5=off,these settings set the clock speed for the processor,not the fsb,the fsb is set using JP4, on my board 100MHz=on 133=off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
