8KHA with the AMD 2400+

[RonF]

I've been considering purchasing an AMD 2400+ for my 8KHA (not plus).

Flashed the bios with the latest version, and it looks like I can set the clock to 133 and the ratio to 14.5 or 15 and use the AMD 2400+ (it's 1.93 GHz, right?).
Anyone know for sure if this will work or not?

The standard for that chip is 15 x 133, if you can it will easily run at 12 x 166 and give much better performance, this chip is unlocked on the KT400 & nforce chipset boards, but it will nt be unlocked on your board, you will have to modify it. Or you can run it at 15 x whatever you can get it up to. Does that board even have a multiplier of 15 available?

[RonF]

Yes, the top ratio multiplyer is 15.

So, I can't set the chip to ratio to 12 without modifying something. Is it the chip or board that needs modifying?

The Epox website PDA file says my board only supports 1.4 or 1800+, but I assumed if I could run the chip at 15 x 133 in the bios it would work okay.

Thanks

I wouldnt be very confident in running such a combo myself.

Not only just getting the correct FSB and multiplyer but maintiaining stability.
