Ok I've heard I could oc with this motherboard through two ways, I don't need it overclocked just would rather have my cpu overclocked a bit..


I've looked for the clockgen's and none seem to work with this motherboard, and looked to see if there was any way to configure it and so far no luck for myself.

If anyone knows how just lmk please.

Its a Intel D815EEA2 / D815EPEA2 for the motherboad


I doubt I can but I figured I'd give atleast the [H] a shot after spending time looking and reading.
 
Second that, I just got one of these boards with a P3 933MHz, and since I'm putting in a GF4 Ti4400 I'd like to get a CPU boost as well.

By the way, the EEA2 has onboard graphics and optional LAN, whereas the EPEA2 is the version without graphics or LAN. I've got the EEA2.
 
*whistles*

not one of those motherboards that you can change resistance across one resistor to manually change the FSB?
 
Not a clue. Any info on how to do that? Is there a specific resistor or is it unique for every different board?
 
Meh, that sucks. I wish Clockgen worked on this board...

Edit: I may have found something. according to this review, there's a jumper that can be moved to allow selection of the CPU speed. Since it's a long article, here's the important part. Unfortunately, it's pretty vague:
The D815EEA2 MotherBoard lets you overclock your CPU. However you have to know the secret trick to proceed. To proceed you have to move a magic blue jumper on the motherboard before starting the computer: the bios will prompt you to select the new frequency at which the CPU should operate from now on.

I guess it's time to test some jumpers... I'm going to do more digging on Google and see if I can get some more details, namely which bloody jumper I'm supposed to move...

Edit 2: Here's the documentation for the board. Page 48 shows the jumper and how to set it for maintenance mode. Page 58 details maintenance mode. Seems all you can do is alter the memory timings. Basically, no overclocking sans modifications.
 
You guys are gonna want to be careful with that... no bus locks, you know. You could hose your HDD's... best way to OC on these old boards is to get a celeron and move up to the next bus speed with a working bus ratio
 
Yeah, but all your cards are likely to either not work or crap out on you..

most AGP and PCI cards really dont like being run out of spec... but if you dont care about the hardware, go for it. its fun :p
 
I'm not running any cards on this board at the moment, since my GF4 Ti4400 is in transit, and the SBLive! it'll be getting is in another system which I'm leaving as-is until I get all the parts I need(brother is using my beefy Thermaltake heatsink, and is too lazy to take it out and give it back). Since this board has pretty much everything onboard, I have no need to put anything in at the moment, especially without an OS.

Anyways, I found a clockgen program that works with these boards:). There's two versions, one is called CPUCool, and the other one is called CPUFSB. CPUFSB is purely a clockgen utility, whereas CPUCool has system-monitoring functions as well. You can get them both from this page: http://mitglied.lycos.de/podien/

The specific board may not be supported, however you can simply select the PLL IC model from a list. This board uses the ICS 92500-30. Anyways, I'm not going to give it a shot now, being as I don't have an OS on that machine and it's after 1AM and I don't have any caffeinated beverages around. I may test it out tomorrow, depending on whether I have time.
 
hmm I'll try that clockgen and report back with my findings as well.


I have a total of 10$ into this pc so I'm not worried :p
 
well no luck with the softfsb basicly.. I'm gonna see if I can find some other way, I'm doubtful but worth a shot.
 
Well, my brother has one of the same boards and is going to try it on his, so I guess I'll see first-hand if it works or not, although considering your experience I'm not too hopeful.
 
Well, he's asleep, so I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out.
