MSI KT3 Ultra 2R - AMD XP2100

[Kabooka]

So heres the deal - went from the 1.4 furnace to the 2100 as I heard it OC's well (and I could buy it without giving up lunch for the next month or so)

I could change the multiplier in the bios without problems on the 1.4 - full range from like 8 - 14 and It would post...

Not so with the 2100 :mad: any change brings a black screen and a hunt for the bios reset jumper - (which I'm happy to say I can do with my eyes closed now!!)

I've researched some and seems that I have to unlock the CPU. I found THIS SITE (http://www.ocinside.de/index_e.html) but it seems to indicate that you have to know the specific multiplier that you want, and mod the chip accordingly.

My goal is to unlock the CPU so I can vary the multiplier through the bios as I did with the 1400.

Anyone here have some words of wisdom for me???

Yes, you can hard code a specific multiplier (useful for dually systems), but you can also just connect two pins either on the CPU or the back of the mobo (easiest) to unlock all multipliers.

These are the pins (http://www.vr-zone.com/#2501).
