Comment: Hello, I was told that the AMD XP 3000 would work with a ECS L7S7A2, however I received the CPU today, and it kept freezing on the Windows XP load screen. Also, instead of BIOS displaying AMD XP 3000+ as the CPU, it displayed 2200+ I reseted the BIOS twice but it still wouldnt update. I am assuming that perhaps I need to adjust jumpers or something? Please help. Thanks

Reply: (edit)That's odd...the multiplier on the 3000+/333FSB CPU is 13.0, so even at 133mhz/266FSB, your CPU should be recognized as a 2100+ You'd need at least PC2700 RAM to be able to run at 166mhz/333FSB though. You don't mention what RAM you have, but PC2100 won't cut it...if that's what you have, try running "async"...RAM at 266FSB, CPU at 333FSB

Reply: (edit)IMO, watercooling is a waste of money...it's problematic, requires maintenance, & isn't much better than a decent aircooling setup...did I mention expensive? LOL! If your temp is being reported that high & you're not having stability problems, I'd suspect a temp reporting error. A BIOS update may correct it
