Web Police Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) Most likely you should be able to lower your multi. Does you bios have the ability to adjust your multi? It sounds like it might not, since you haven't been able to find it. Edited July 5, 2006 by Web Police Link to post Share on other sites

wdeydwondrer Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 i haven't done this, but you MAY be able to flash the bios to a different vendor and see if it works. ask for help from people here before you would attempt that though. Link to post Share on other sites

From a different vendor? I want some of what you just smoked. i Link to post Share on other sites
Tyreal Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Under no circumstances should you ever flash the bios of your motherboard with a different manufacturers. The only thing that you will have is a dead board. Link to post Share on other sites
WakeUpDead Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 WOW, yeh dont flash with anything other then your Mobo's bios. I dont even flash unless Im having issues, have my CFX on CD bios, there are 3-4 new ones, but no need too! Those x2 3800 chips are madd overclockers, I almost got one over my x2 4400! You need to get a better overclocking board to get the full overclock out of that chip. Also, if you had PC4000 ram that would help you get there. You can put yours on a divider but I would just get the PC4000. If that is a newer x2 3800, last 2-3 months, it may be a very good chip and you should put it in an DFI nF4 board. it will for sure hit 2800mhz on a DFI, even more with good cooling and ram. You will be amazed at all the overclocking options and yes it will let you past 240 and to lower the multi! With all the new CPU's out, its a good time for buying all the 939 socket parts, DDR, Mobo's and CPU's are all going way down in price. Good luck and jhave fun! Link to post Share on other sites
wdeydwondrer Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) you CAN do it. done mostly on dell's and the such. flash the bios w/ the manufacturers bios instead of dell's or hp's bios. it's also done alot w/ video cards to unlock otehr features that may be in the card or to simply trick it into thinking it's another card. guess i'm just wacked out and drugs or somthing though, my bad Edited August 18, 2006 by wdeydwondrer Link to post Share on other sites
Intratech Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Alot of OEM versions of the board made by manufacturers lack certain components especially in the power regulatory circuits etc. so flashing with any BIOS other than one from the OEM is like playing Russian Roulette unless you are positive the mobo in the oem PC is the same as the manufacturers commercial version of the board.
