| 91282 | 2002-10-21 02:54:00 | I have just finished putting an 1800 amd processor onto my chaintech apogee motherboard.The system is working fine except that it rates my processor at 1.15mhz instead of its stated speed of 1.53mhz. Could someone tell me whether it is possibly the wrong chip, faulty chip or are there a setting on the motherboard that needs adjusting. the system isn't operating at the speed I thought it would which would indicate the chip is not 1800 Could I have some words of wisdom and possible solutions |

| 91283 | 2002-10-21 03:01:00 | Mikaelanz, Hmmm looks like your frontside bus is set at 100mhz instead of 133 with the multiplier set at 11.5. Since 133*11.5 = 1529.5 close to AMD 1800+ speed. Where as currently 1.15 is 100*11.5 Check your BIOS settings and any m/b jumpers (detailed in manual) for changes required. Cheers, Babe. |

| 91284 | 2002-10-21 03:10:00 | It seems to me that one of the motherboard setting needs to be changed. 1.15 would suggest a bus speed of 100 Mhz, since 1.15 *1.33 = 1.53. Is the motherboard set to detect the speed of the chip automatically? Can someone tell me if it would also detect that the RAM has a maximum of 100 Mhz, since that may also slow it down? If there is not a setting in the bios to change the FSB speed to 133, you may actually need to read the manual and set a jumper on the motherboard. (although it's more likely the setting is in the bios) |

| 91285 | 2002-10-21 03:36:00 | I had the same problem, do you have a gigabyte motherboard?, If so then yes, all you have to change is 1 jumper. | promethius (1998) | ||
