Hey Guys,
I'm building a server (Athlon 900 in an HP K7M board) with a ton of IDE storage.
I found some silk-screens on the mainboard for HARDWARE overclocking (NO BIOS OPTIONS)
I have so many questions...where to start...
OK, the board has no headers in the areas designated by the picture. It DOES have through hole solder pads. I am good enuf with an iron to put some headers in there....
The question is - Do you think the traces have been cut to prevent overclocking?
The DSW(1) and DSW(2) appear to be right next to that silkscreen (with a resistor in the middle).
Is the rightmost solder pads DSW(2)?
I measure 0 volts on all (apparent) DSW pads, as well as the left lead on the two resistors.
The right side of the resistors measures 1.721V. Whats the signifcance?
How should I jumper the DSW to get a higher FSB?
Should I put headers in the solder pads and use PC jumpers?
I don't know if it will do anything as all solder pads measure 0V.
Also the silkscreen says ON and OFF. With default as both ON. I was thinking I might have to cut a trace or jumper the 1.721V side of the resistor into on of the headers. Thoughts?
As for CPU voltage, that shouldn't be too difficult. The 4 pad headers are there, and some measure to 5V (ON) and some measure to 0V (OFF). The question here is:
Do you think its hard-wired (or traces been cut) to prevent using the CPU voltage adjustments? The silkscreen says the jumpers are at 3-4, 3-4, 3-4, but there are NO headers and NO jumpers (or solder bridges).
Any insight gets +1
thanks
