Hi, Im putting together a secondary "typewriter"   :-) IBM Aptiva 2176-352 (SL-A) with latest BIOS. I'm using an 200 MHz Intel Pentium(R) OverDrive(R) Processor with MMX(TM) Technology. According to This Page i should set the Memory Bus Speed Frequency to 66MHz and the Processor Input Clock Speed Ratio to 3x.         T  h  e    p  r  o  b  l  e  m    i  s  .  .  .    - HOW should i set Jumper JP10 and JP11 so the Processor Input Clock Speed Multiplier is set to 3x (3x66=200)   ? ?   I think I might have misunderstood something essential here, right ?  Thanx in advance for any help, I guess this is an easy question for overclockers  ;-)

How I've read what you provided: To get 3x, it will be under function 1/3, which means JP10 Pin 2&3 connected, and JP11 Pin 1 & 2 connected. Will see what others provide.

Thanx a lot    :))) I appreciate if sum else could confirm if above is the correct way to set the jumpers (JP10 and 11) to get multiplier 3.0x,  Coz it's difficoult setting jumpers after putting the mobo  into miditower (everything is not yet build together uc!).   Do sumone know wuts'e 1/3, 2/5 ...  means?   I've built a lot pc's, but never before run into   problem like this then setting the multiplier !!

Setting multipler is not uncommon at all. 1/3 means from 1 to 3 times and 2/5 is 2 to 5 times the values.

Yup I know coz I do it all the time! But most common there is written in an referenceguide (or at least explained!) or on mobo like 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 ... or it can be set from the bios, but like I told before: this is the 1st time I'v seen it like 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3 and this I don't know how to deal with !! -   RE to "real_cool":    I still don't get it..   do U mean 1/3 means 1 to 3 times the Memory Bus Speed (50-66MHz on this particular mobo)  ? ? Ohh...   I forgot to mention that the NOT so very much impressive Aptiva Bios does NOT show wut MHz the CPU is running at, else I would try different possible settings & wouldn't have to post any problem here (that's 1 of'e 700 reasons I like Award Bios a lot lot bettr :) I think the OverDrive CPU might be overclocked to run at 300MHz (100x3). So far I've sucessful overclocked an 180MHz ODP to run at 225MHz (75x3) on an Asus P/I-P55TVP4-152 mobo :) Furthermore improvement correction, suggestions & comments are welcome.

My guess is that's a misprint...I think the ratios are reversed. They should be 3/2 (or 1.5x), 2/1 (or 2.0x), 5/2 (or 2.5x), & 3/1 (or 3.0x). Therefore, I'm in agreement with real_cool (response # 1). The setting you're looking for would be the last one...to get the 3.0x multiplier, put the JP10 jumper cap on pins 2-3 & the JP11 jumper on pins 1-2.

Hi there, I have the same mobo and am now running 193Mhz looks like 3 * 66 :-) Althouh i would like to run it on 233 Mhz, cause i put a 233 Mhz processor on the board. to get 66 i connected all of the four pins of jumper j35 I put both jumper 10 and 11 on 2 and 3 If you want to see on with speed, and muth more your pc is running download http://www.aida32.hu/aida-download.php?bit=32 a very, very nice tool.
