The Epic Search for a CrystalCPUID supported Socket A mobo

Hello all,

I am looking for a motherboard, which can change the cpu voltage and multiplier on the fly using software like CrystalCPUID.

I have an ASUS A7M266 motherboard and an Athlon XP mobile 2500+, unfortunately software VID change is not supported with this motherboard, thus I can't change the voltage on the fly with CrystalCPUID

I have done quite a bit of research, and haven't really found suitable solution. However, I found one motherboard the Aopen AK77-600 Max which reportedly allows on the fly voltage and multiplier adjustments :

The only issue with the board is that it has problems recognising Athlon XP mobile processor

Is there a suitable motherboard for the Athlon XP mobile with on the fly voltage and multiplier change with CrystalCPUID

Any help will be appreciated

Seasons Greetings

,

Nigel

Hi Nigel and all others here at SPCR,

I'm interested if you have found a motherboard which can change vcore by vid requests with CrystalCPUID or RMClock. I tried an AOpen AK77-8X Max. Didn't get it to boot with my AMD Athlon XP-M 2400+ (1.35V, 35W, AXMD2400FJQ4C). The board says Your CPU is not supported!.

Would be nice if all Socket A user with Desktop Board and XP-M could report their results.

WELCOME TO SPCR for both of you.

I've had a much better experience using an nForce2-based motherboard, and 8rdavcore. When I last used CrystalCPUID, it crashed my system. Whereas, I feel that 8rdavcore feels a little more polished.

EDIT: Alright, you can't change the multiplier on the fly, but you CAN change the voltage on the fly, which is much more important, IMHO.

You guys should look into the Abit NF7-s...
