exeter_acres Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 No such board listed at ASUS site....or anywhere on Google for that matter.... but if it is a P4 (Intel) then the multiplier is now and always will be locked..... cannot be unlocked on an Intel... as for the vCore... depends on the BIOS... some BIOS' allow it others do not Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie b Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 This may sound like a n00bish question, but i have NEVER worked with Intel chips....AMD man here. If the multi is locked then Pentiums can only be OC'd by the FSB?????? Is that really the case??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exeter_acres Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 Ok... actually it is not a PT4533 as stated it is a P4T533 but what ever.... from the ASUS website: Extreme OverclockingASUS P4T533 offers impressive overclocking options to maximize your system performance.

exeter_acres Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 if i can do it from the bios then how do i ulock it?? Unlock what?? the multiplier? You can't .... you can only unlock the multi on AMD chips.... There should be settings in your BIOS for frequency or something like that to play with the FSB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstrike Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 what if i do everything manually on the mobo will that be work ok? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 you could. but reading you manual will tell you how to oc that thing exactly. asus boards are as a general rule good overclockers. and NO you can't unlock the multiplier on a P4 unless you plan on dismembering your cpu and playing with a microscope and soldering some TINY stuff backtogether without causing damage to other stuff in the processs (tried it with a fcpga celeron... TOAST is it's new name) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie b Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 wow...what a Jip...crap Intel *fiendishly smiles knowing what kind of trouble he is about to cause* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newb_ocer Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Abosolutely no pentiums have flexible multipliers these days. On my asus boards all being p4pe's it acually promotes overclock lol. the box says 1mhz stepping overclocking so yea all i had to do was set my cpu speed section to manual then the fsb unlocked and vcore set to manual unlocked vcore settings.
