fixed link: ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/BIO...e/1018ed04.zip

only works with Prescotts?

only for -E deluxe? not vanilla P4C800?

[Sons_of_Piru]

Only works for this prescotts:

Prescott LGA775 CPU (Performance/04B)
800MHZ FSB, 3.4GHz, 3.6GHz, 3.8GHz, 4.0GHz+

Prescott Socket 478 CPU (FMB1.5)
800MHZ FSB, 3.2GHz, 3.4GHz+

And seems P4C800 non deluxe is not supported

[jmke]

thanks for the info, where did you obtain this from?

[saaya]

it doesnt fully unlock them, it just enables the 14x multi for all high end prescotts as far as i know but still nice

asus newspost before it was taken down:

Taipei, Taiwan, September 21 3004 ¡V Every user with some experience on computer hardware knows this formula:

CPU operation speed = FSB frequency x CPU multiplier

Users tweak their systems either by increasing FSB frequency or CPU multiplier, which is usually locked for the Pentium 4 CPU when purchased of the shelf, greatly limiting your overclocking options.

Here¦s the good news for overclockers!! ASUS Motherboards now offer the CPU Lock Free feature, which allows you to adjust CPU multiplier to 14x. The reduction of multiplier value provides more flexibility for increasing external FSB frequency to raise memory bus bandwidth.

The following example demonstrates the effectiveness of CPU Lock Free. As the table indicates, CPU Lock Free adjusted CPU multiplier from 18x to 14x, allowing the system to operate with FSB frequency up to 258MHz(maximum bandwidth 8.23GB/sec) and memory bandwidth up to 10.98GB/sec while CPU operation speed remained at 3.6GHz.

CPU Lock Free boosts overall system performance by making synchronous modification possible. Enjoy better performance at the same CPU operation speed and improve your system without pushing the CPU to the limit.

Motherboards supporting CPU Lock Free:
P5 AD2 Premium
P5 AD2 Deluxe
P5GD2 Premium
P5GD2 Deluxe
P5GD2 Pro
P5GD2
P5GD1
P5GD1 Pro
P5GDC Deluxe
P5GDC-V Deluxe
Coming soon boards:
P5P800
P4C800-E Deluxe
P4P800-E Deluxe
P4P800 SE
P4P800-X
P4GD1

wow jmke where did you find that?

[xsky]

ok fine. i installed a prescott 3.4
BUT: How do I get my 17 multi back? no matter which settings I try it always boots with 2.8

installed 1017 and guess what: it's still a 2.8ghz

need to remove cpu when it got back to room temp

[jjcom]

yeah Tom's Hardware had a review on this. It looked very nice. Wonder if it will do anything to the new 2.93ghz Celeron...

[xttz]

is it working with P4c800 gold?

[detonator]

I have the right Asus 800 E right processore E 3200 D0 but dont work this bios... the multi are still loked.

I have the right Asus 800 E right processore E 3200 D0 but dont work this bios... the multi are still loked.

From what I have read it only works with the C0 not the D0. I have a SL7KC and it does not work for me either.

Can anyone confirm this for us?

[REDKEN]

Any updates on this?

Any updates on this?

my friend got an E delux pluss e 3200E C0 and he got unloked multi....semm like dont work on D0.

by default Bandwidth at 5800 with 325/260
after modification, I get 7300 at the same fsb

[REDKEN]

it works with my 3.4e D0
14 and 17

I don't want to sound like I don't believe your word, but could you verify that you have a D0 stepping (even better if you could post the whole string of numbers).
The thing is that all the reports that I have read about the new CPU Lock Free feature is that it does not work for the D0 stepping. Only for the C0.
You are only one of the few that I have seen that has been able to do it and I'm trying to determine how.

Thanks for your help.

[xsky]

sure. i've got a very simular cpu like "cpulloverclock".
sl7e6 malay L421 (produced in week 21).

i got show you screens as well but you can look at cpulloverclock's as well

[detonator]

well you are the unic peep in the world with a D0 working....

[xsky]

you know that you need the newest flash ultility?
will post a screen tomorrow
