i guess it should, but mine didn't :(

I did mine and it gave me many many options in overclocking. The first time I booted it gives me "User Defined", 3100+, 3000+ and so on (around 12 options)... Once I chose one of them it saved whatever I chose and use that as the default until I clear the cmos... So I don't really know if it became a 166fsb CPU or not but it did change something :cool:

Probably because mine is a 1700+ and it doesn't have a 166fsb nor 200fsb version with the same multiplier and core ;)

Does anyone know where i can get the 10d BIOS? This is the one with the SATA drivers correct?

Thanks

damn, i'm dumb... i did the mod wrong, using the wrong socket holes...

i'll tell yah my results when i have time to test

Just did mine with the wire in the socket. Booted up at 200X11( was at 220X11) and only gave me options for user define or XP3200 so i guess it worked. But i haven't seen any gains yet, still can't run 230 stable like my last 1700.:(

Looks like the d20 bios was holding me back. Just flashed to the d10 and peaked at 240X10:D Not stable though, I'm pretty sure this board needs some mods to get stable. Still playing with it and running at 230X10@1.9V for now. Thanks for the great guide.:thumbsup:

whussup everybody??

alright, i tried the wire trick on my motherboard, i tried forcing the 133fsb and i also tried the forcing 200fsb. each one gave me the same result: it booted, i got to the BIOS, and then it restarted, and just kept restarting! :( anyone have any ideaz why?? o and herez my info if it helpz any:

Barton 2800+ 333fsb
EpoX 8rda3+
OCz EL 466 DDR

you think i should just try the L12 mod instead??

thankz!

Another success story here, use single strand from a floppy cable and inserted into the CPU holder and wallah cpu recognised as a 166fsb chip :D

Not sure if its help yet im reinstalling windows then going to overclock, bbl :)

you guys know if there is a wire mod to make a 166 fsb cpu into a 133 fsb one ? ("reverse L12") ??
Thanx

I think you'll have to cut a bridge to do it reverse, i think there's a thread in the stickied about it

Thanx anti - thats what I figured

Need some help here.
I can run 11.5*240 but it's not stable, i'll need more vdimm for that. The problem is i cant boot anything below 240fsb!! 220fsb works fine but 230 dousn't work at all, not even 237. Ram is corsair pc3500v1.1 so i guess its bh5 and running @ 2.9 - 3.0vdimm. I got 247fsb on those sticks at the same voltage but its not 3dmark stable.. Vdd is at 1.7. Can you guyz help?

Try moding ur psu 3.3 rail what psu u have anyways ?

I think your NB needs more V, 240 with 1,7V is already good, try at 1,9v or higher

Its @ 3.54v It's an enermax 465w

Then try what Marlboro Man
sad :)

my board needs a little help too to go over 225, but my soldering skills aren't so good.

P.S. And dont forget to cool down the mosfets if you havent cooled it yet.

and don't forget the SB, it can get pretty hot! If you start having problem with the mousen usb devices or sound that means you dhould add a heatsink on the sb

i have this zalman thing on it, but im must cut 2 lines of fins to use my revoltec ram coolers for my Graphiccard

heres a pic of it.

the wire method works like a charm.
easy as hell-did it in about 10 minutes.
got an old ide cable. stripped one of the wires. there was a bunch of about 5 wires that came out.
took one, cut it to about 1.5CM in length.
put a loop on each end.
pushed my finger on it, so it would stick on my finger. put my finger against the pins that ragnarok showed (on one of the first pages). the wire fell off my fingers onto the pins. put chip in, booted.
(i had a dlt3c 1700+)
it was now detected as a 2600+ :)
