I have a 8887 with a unlocked P4 and I need to set the multiplier in the bios, I know what to set it to but I don't know how to set it.
Sager said that they don't do this as the normal P4 comes locked.
My wife got this chip as an award from Inte for working on the chip. It boots up as 1600mhz with HT with the setting in the bios and I need to change the multiplier to 22 can someone please help me out with this so it will run at 3.06ghz with HT.
Thanks Andrew

I do not think this can be set in the BIOS. I don't even know if there's a jumper on the mobo to change it. It's odd that the BIOS reads that as a 1.6GHz chip, but maybe it's because there is no lock and the chipset is confused.

There is no setting to change the multiplier in the bios as it auto detects it. What speed is the processor supposed to be and are you sure it's utilizing HT? Is it an engineering sample?

No it is not a sample, It is just a unlocked chip. Some people that also got them were able change some jumpers and reboot into the bios maintenance mode and then change the multiplierand reboot at the 3.06ghz speed.And that is what I am trying to do.
I hope I made my self more clear this time,as I'am sure you can tell this stuff is not my strong suit!!! Thanks

I understood you the first time, and I still think your only hope is to see if there are physical jumpers on the motherboard (which would require a disassemble of the machine). I doubt there are.

I think Clevo just locked in the BIOS to use whatever the chip says it is, but in your case, it's an "unknown" chip and hence the 1.6GHz.

There is no SOFT-jumper in the BIOS. Would be nice if there was an unofficial bios that did what you need, but I doubt it.
