There are plenty of bios's out there with the 'terrible 10's'. I usually stay away. 11.5x works decent with my BH-5 sets. Keeps me in the 250-260 range. Need to bench over 2800 for me to consider it a decent chip. I'll keep this in mind for sure. I do not have too many chips that will run that high of frequenxy, but I get plenty of enjoyment either way  |

So following up on this. It seems its just a weird quirk or Bios thing. I need to slowly raise the multipliers on the other chips to get it working. Reason for wanting a high multi is that I'm trying for the % OC record and don't want to run into FSB issues.

I've never had anything like that happen on three different boards. NF7, AN7, and Ultra B were all poke and go. Weird.

Need to bench over 2800 for me to consider it a decent chip. I sure don't have any 2800MHz Athlon XP(-M) CPUs. Then again I'm strictly ambient and 99.999% air cooling. Also running Stone Age's Bios on the AN7 I got no boot with BH-5 (Geil One). TCCD works though (Corsair TwinX1024-3200XL (XMS3208v1.2) and OCZ4001024ELDCPER2-K) |

TCCD works though (Corsair TwinX1024-3200XL (XMS3208v1.2) and OCZ4001024ELDCPER2-K) Try CPU interface disabled, or enabled. Enabled is very aggressive. Makes a difference on some BH-5 sets. Also, use slots 1 and 3 for BH-5. AN7 hated my Geil's. Liked the Kingston's and cheap Corsairs. No idea why. Lemme know how it goes. Some AN7 boards are just bitches. I have 1 good one and 1 that's not even close to working the same. 2800 is tough on air. Water you need a good chip. For XP-M's for benching, I look for nothing but 2800's and 2400's with IQYHA or AQYHA steppings and the newest dates you can find, if that helps you out at all. |

I'll give it another try tonight while the AN7 is on the bench. I think my best K7 is a Barton XP-M 2500+ AQZFA 0345RPMW and my most recent is a Geode NX 1500 BJJF 0645XPFW.

CPU Interface Disabled is a diasaster. I moved onto OCZ Gold EL set (OCZ4331024ELDCGEGX-K) and 205MHz would not boot windows!

XP-M 2500's aren't bad either with the same steppings and dates. I've got one that's hit 2900 on chilled before. |

This is incorrect. Those are XP-M specs. I notified CPU World of the error. I'm a long time member there too.  Sorry for necropost. This isn't correct. Those Athlon SFF parts are interesting - mine has a locked multiplier but it has mobile features enabled by default - softFID and softVID. And it has a lower voltage. True mobile parts have a free multi IIRC. |
