Hey, I've looked on the web and couldn't find anything useful. Can somebody tell me how to unlock my cpu multiplier? What pins I need to jump, with a pic maybe, ect? Thanks a bunch!
 
You can't, unless you have an engineering sample version. P4 chips have locked multipliers.
 
think your sig is long enough?

there is a 10 line max i think
 
thats what I thought, but its just some guy who's getting his athlons and P4's mixed up.
 
obviously im a newb. i've heard it can be done, so can anyone tell me how i can do it?
 
ONLY way to have unlocked multi on a p4 is to have an E.S.

which is very hard to come by. but they are out there if you look hard enough.

gl newbie j/k:D ;)

busted. oooooohhh your introuble...for being a hypocrite;) :D :p
 
ES = Engineering Sample. Its rare cuz only ppl who work at Intel can obtain one to begin with. You can't get one without offering big $$. Then maybe someone will give it up to ya. Just face it, you can't change the multiplies on P4. Just raise the votlage and FSB and see how high u can go.

Agreed.

Rive, yes we realize you are a newb. That's fine, we are just telling you not to bother, essentially. Where did you hear this can be done? You seemed to act as if we knew, and were withholding info, bro! :D Trust me, if there was a way to do it, it wouldn't be hard to find!

lol, ok cool man. damn that sucks then. I found a couple different articles about doing it to the P4 online somewhere, but I didn't bother to save the pages or anything because the instructions were kind of vague and didn't include pics. owell. From what i've learned so far, i think the reason why i can't oc any higher and keep the system stable is because of my mobo. my factory mobo fsb limit is 533mhz. So, I guess I need to get me a mobo with an 800 fsb limit then huh? Then I can start upping the juice more. What's a really good overclocking mobo to get to use with a P4? I would like to get at least 3.0ghz out of my chip at the minimum if i can.

So, right now im doing fsb 140 with a cpu:dram ratio of 4:5 and vdimm 2.8. My latency settings give me; safe, normal, fast, turbo, and ultra. I have it set on normal right now. I can get as high as 160 bus at 4:3 and fast settings, but the system runs unstable. I've tried lower bus settings at 4:3 and also 1:1, but my current setting runs the most stable and the fastest even though the bus speed is lower. Is that because my RAM is running faster maybe? I've noticed a lot of overclockers end up slowing down their RAM to below factory settings after they tune their bus or multiplier, why would that be effective to do? Or, do I not know what I'm talking about here. My bios lets me tune my vcore from 1.5-1.625. right now it's on auto and runs at 1.5. Anybody have any pointers maybe? cause my overclock accomplishment so far is wimpy :D

all i can offer is general stuff, since i only got AMD's

only raise vcore if your unstable - this results in an INCREASE in temps, make sure it doesn't get to high (no higher than 50C load)
 
cool thanks! i just looked at that board online. i was also looking at the new IC7 Max3, that board looks bad ass. It seems like a lot of people are using Abit boards. Are they the best? I could always get one of those boards and some new ram and then get a new chip later. I probably won't be able to take my 2.4b much over 3.0 ghz will I?

they are extremely nice boards...

oh yeah, i haven't really seen any amazing OC's with P4 Bs, but that is just me, i don't get out much - but it definitely seems that the P4 Cs are amazing OC'ers
