How to set the multiplier of ATHLON XP 1500 to 12 multiplier

How to set the multiplier of ATHLON XP 1500 to 12 multiplier. i want to lock the multiplier of my athlon xp 1500 to 12 multiplier coz the k7s5a doesnt have multiplier adjustments so ill just lock the multiplier of my cpu. i know the k7s5a can have multiplier adjustments but thats too crazy for me to do.

so if anyone could pls tell me how to lock the multiplier of my athlon xp 1500 to 12x i would be very much greatful.

i can run with 10x at 147 and 150 fsb but 166fsb is too hard.

im planning on running my cpu once i got the multiplier at 12 x 147 or 150 fsb. with default vcore.

k thx in advance guys.

appears to me you have to cut the two L4 bridges that are connected and connect the two that aren't, but check it to make sure that is exactly what you want [img]smile.gif[/img]

2nd thoughts: you have a 1.3g chip.. o/c'd to run at 1.5g and you want to try to run it at 12 x 150 for 1.8g? That seems a bit much to ask for to me? 12 x 133 is an XP 1900, quite an increase, so I'd be curious if you can indeed increase the FSB beyond that and still boot.

There are overclocking kits you can get that are not permanent, in case you need to lower the multiplier, so I'd suggest getting one of those to backtrack if needed.

I just edited my response to add a bit of stuff so not sure if you've seen it all.

The website has info on cutting the bridges but I think the simplest is an exacto knife rather than a small power tool - don't want to take too much off.

The overclocking kit I'm considering has 3 bottles with it.. a gap filler for the laser cuts, a cleaning fluid, and a conductive grease to bridge the filled gaps and/or cuts. The nice part is that it is removeable. Perfect if you just filling in the L1 Bridges, and makes it a lot easier reset to a different multiplier if using the L3/L4 and need to change it [img]smile.gif[/img] Only drawback is to be careful you don't smear it installing the cpu back in the socket.

I'm thinking I might get a kit and try changing my 1800+ from 11.5x to 12.5x someday.. but not until the warranty is over as I too would have to cut a bridge :( ( so won't even buy the kit for a bit. )

I don't know who makes the o/c kit, but if needed, email me at [email protected] and I can give you a link to a store that sells the removeable kit online.

Good Luck
