FSB Adjuster

Hi there,

I am currently running a 533mhz FSB on Pentium 4 3.1GHZ with a Phenix Award 6.00 Bios. Can anyone reccomend a decent FSB adjuster so I can increase my FSB reduce my Multiplyer and keep my speed roughly the same?

I have tryed pressing del when its starting up but it doesnt work because the screen I have to do it on doesnt even load it goes straight to loading Windows XP.

Thanks in advance,
Nick

Just before the computer reboots, start pressing delete as fast as you can (without breaking the keyboard).

Works everytime for me!

Sadly, Intel decided to remove the capability to change the multiplier since the Pentium II days.

They claimed this was to stop "remarking", the practice of vendors overclocking CPUs and selling them as the faster version, but we all know they just wanted to spoil our fun.

Delete is the most common key to enter BIOS Setup.

Some others you might like to try are:

* Del
* F10
* F1
* F2
* Ctrl + Esc
* Esc
* Alt + Esc
* Ctrl + Alt + Esc
* Ctrl + Alt + Enter
* Ins

Or you could just get a plank of wood and hold down the whole damn lot. That should do it.

um,
you could try unplug the keyboard then power it off/on. Sometimes a system respond to a missing keyboard with "press F1 for setup...F2 to continue" or some such. You can re-plug in the keyboard then and see what happens. I had a system that I could only enter setup if I disconnected a HDD.

Be very careful. Connecting or disconnecting the keyboard while the power is on is the most common way of blowing the keyboard fuse (unless you are using a USB keyboard).

d'oh !!
I didn't think about other non-US equipment being at risk in that procedure. I have unplug/plugged keyboards with the system being powered up since my first 8088 system and never damaged anything.

I wish I was as smart as I think I am.
