IF you could overclock through BIOS then you did not have to search for missing jumpers, just flash the rev5.2 bios and then you probable get the new jumpers unlocked at system boot. Unfortunately, it does not support OC via BIOS (which is kinda stupid since the PLL is software programmable).

Looking at the rev5 manual you'll notice how at 66MHz and 100MHz the PCI and AGP speeds are standard clocked, the PCI and AGP changes together with the FSB clock. There is unfortunately no third FSB setting (f.a. 133MHz) which puts PCI and AGP back to standard specs and so every clock settings above 100MHz is pretty much like TurboPLL, except that it does only affect FSB/PCI/AGP and not the whole frequency outputs of the PLL.

Downside of using TurboPLL is that software will probable not readout that well, so the oc via traditional jumpers is most likely the best way to score hwbot points, getting the rev5.2 board is then best option you'll have. Finding a board which have 133MHz support and software overclockability (setfsb) would be even greater, but since no s7 CPU runs on 133MHz FSB I don't think such board exists.

To answer your question properly: Getting such board would not help designing TurboPLL, for starters it questions why I would build TurboPLL if the board can overclock up to 140MHz FSB out-of-the-box. Only if you would need higher then that frequency, there is a reason to build TurboPLL, but since there is a strap change at only 66MHz and 100MHz I quess the board is not so different as many other boards are and with TurboPLL activated they would both hit roughly same FSB overclocks.

Had any luck so far with the JP9 jumper? Just make the cut and see if the FSB changes.

Time, time, time ... :(

Massman, I've a GA-5AX myself, bought for 20 euro. It's a 4.1, that also supports 140 fsb, so up to 840MHz!!!!

If your interested, I can make some high detailed picture's so you can compares both motherboards ;)

Edit: in CPUFSB, you can change the FSB of this motherboard. It only has one PLL so I think our motherboard have the same PLL

I hoop ook dat we de strijdbijl kunnen begraven ;)

First thread pictures shows the PLL. How high can you set the FSB in reality? What works? What is stable? Shoot pictures, always cool :)

Just get it today ;)

4.5x120 done, first need to install windows ;)

I will make picture's in about a hour or somting

Nice, at that speed it will be very hard to find a better performing board.

Please post pictures of the area around the PLL, that should make things more clear! :)

120MHz is quite good

Chipset max's out @ 125MHz

If I do 130Mhz my cpu's name becomes @^D 4^0 &Hz :P

Some bad news, the ICS is deffirent:



And, is it a Athlon, is it a Duron? No its a K6-2+



Laptop's are the way to go btw:

Laptop one has on chip L2 ;)

Btw, can't you make a switch on the JP9?
