For those using the e4300 that have reached a FSB "wall"

[JokerCPoC]

I had a 300FSB "wall" on my E4300, then I updated my AW9D to a bios that supports 1333 strap natively. Selected that and it's at 333*9 (3GHz) at stock volts atm.

I hope by Natively that means No Mods to the cpu? If so when I get a cheap stick of ram that does 1.8v I can set the bios(Hopefully, as I put a Noctua NC-U6 NB heatsink on Mine and the Noctua is solidly mounted as It doesn't move), As My current ram won't boot below 2.1v(2GB OCZ PC2-8000 Gold GX xtc[2x1024MB]) and being I have the old 1.3 Bios and not the New 1.4 Official Bios(Unless I'm wrong the Bios version won't make any difference here in this case, Can't flash It with ram that doesn't get enough voltage). I'd cleared the cmos as I had a QX6700 cpu on this motherboard at one time with a multiplier of 12, If the multiplier had been set at 9 It could have booted.

To get bsel1=Low, why not connect to bsel2 which is already in L?

That was the original plan in the beginning of the e4300 pad mod, but it was not successful at all. For some reason or another BSEL1 was getting a low signal, or the circuitry did not want any of it.

Either way, the BSEL1-->VSS is the best shot.
