XP2100 AIUHB + NF7-S 2.0 Cant use 10x multi?

[Snoodge]

I can use every multi from 1-9.5, then 10-10.5 refuse to boot, and then I can use 11-15... whats the deal, because as luck would have it, 10-10.5 are multi's that I could really use, because ive reached my mhz cap, but I want more FSB if possible... so basically, this is getting really lame...

anybody got any ideas?

Same problem here. Disable CPU interface and you should be able to use them but performance takes quite a hit.

hmm... Ive always had CPU interface disabled because everyone told me that it was unstable with it enabled... If I enable CPU interface will it add a lot of performance?

where does CPU interface benefit, ram bandwidth? or strictly cpu...

[LardArse]

Both, CPU and memory.

i heard about some mobos not having some multipliers. I mean like some nf7's or some 8rda's just have multipliers that just don't work. i am not sure if it is the mobo or cpu, but it is just random, and i don't think there is anything you can do. It is like procs that will run at 1.7v and 1.8v, but not 1.75v, or running at 190 and 192 fsb, but not 191. Just random stuf flike that.

Hey LardArse, thanks for mentioning CPU Interface, because I enabled it and it got me over 18k in 3dmark2001... I was stuck @ 17.7k previously... almost 400 point increase from just enabling that... no notable decrease in stability either...

Have you tried a different bios ?

or is it still corrupting data to the HDD's? The two 1.2's had did.:(
