There is a virus warning at the SetFSB site. But I just unplug my HDD/SSD and boot a Linux Live DVD and go there anyway.
I used to get ransomware when running like that LOL. Reboot-gone. Did you learn how to hex edit setFSB to remove a locking bit on the PLL? My Opti 380 X5470 only goes about 4MHz before it locks up. I have a bout .25V. headroom to play with if I can get the PLL unlocked. I need to change the TME locking bit from high to low (<7). But exactly how that's done IDK. One use for SetFSB would be to lower the fsb enough to add 1 multiplier extra then raise it back slowly for an incremental OC that TS won't allow. That should be possible even with a TME lock.
I did some "monkey see monkey do" hex editing in Setfsb. Didn't help the overclock. But I changed the wrong register once and crashed my network connection. Either that or my ISP decided to go down for a couple hours right then. Switch from cable router to DSL/ wifi and a different computer didn't help. Then it came back up later. Had to switch it all back. But I made some progress on learning "how" to change "stuff"." What" and "why" not so much.
There's a very good reason I didn't start a PLL overclocking thread. Actually there are quite a few.
Here is a datasheet for a common Dell PLL chip on some of the newer LGA775 and maybe X58 stuff. IDT#
CV183-2APAG
It latches the TME pin4 Hi at power on which sets an FSB limit of 333 ( I get 342 before it crashes) . But the value it latches to can be as high as 400FSB. So TME off may need to be done in BIOS, or a hardmod. But perhaps RW everything could mod the FSB limit to 400? I can "kind of" read this stuff. But what to write and where is another matter. But here it is if anyone wants to take a shot at this.
I looked at the datasheet and was reading the settings in Setfsb to be sure it was matching my interpretation of things.
The TME pin is read only and latched at power on, so short of a hardmod it's gonna be there. But the TME fsb Limit setting isn't latched to be read only until "confirmed power good". There is a setting for 400fsb. I think I've determined what needs to change and where, and when. But I've handed it off to the BIOS modders to see if they can make it happen. The G41 chipset may not be able to actually go 400fsb, but it can probably do more than 342.
