1Ghz T/bird showing up as 750Mhz!

[Coombs]

Hi,

I recently purchased CES K7SEM motherboard with built in graphics and sound, with a 1Ghz AMD Thunderbird processor already installed and 256meg SDram installed. I also purchased all the other parts required so I could build my first computer, (new to this game).

Problem.
Eventually I managed to get the machine running..worked fine, the processor seemed a little hot, but never the less all fine, until I seen that the CPU spped was only recognised as a 750Mhz as opposed to a 1Ghz.
I really can't figure out whats up. It says 1000 on the processor chip. Also I'm pretty sure the motherboard takes a 1Ghz AMD processor.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You have a DDR CPU running at 200mhz, Change the bus jumper form 2100 to 266. And you will post out at 1000mhz. On the ECS bords the jumpers are right or the Ram slot,the default is 1-2 @2-3 change to 2-3 @1-2 that will give you 266 bus.

I have tried changing JP3 and nothing happened.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
I don't understand what you mean when you use the @ symbol
when quoting the jumper pins?

Thnks for your help.

Have you been into the bios (blue screen) Press delete when first booting, keep pressing until it enters bios.
You need to set the clock multipliers (CPU configeration)it sounds like yours is still set at it's default setting which is 750 on that board.Of course all this could be rubbish if you were sold a DDR 1gig athlon.
