Epox releases a BIOS that overcomes AMD multiplier locks
 

I got this from the Inquirer, it has a download link and everything:

EPOX RECENTLY announced a BIOS for its KT400 boards, branded as the 8K9A, that offers a feature for those wanting to overclock Athlons without changing the processor itself.

Check it out at everyone's favorite rumor mill, the Inquirer.

:o :o :o

bobyjo, u were right to go with epox!!
lol
that is if you are a hardcore oc'er

That is one sweeeeeeeeeeet feature! Hope other company's copy it!

:woot:

:woot: is very right!!!

lol

i really wish Asus do this also..!!
id be really happy if my mobo has a new bios that has this

i know that Asus is working on a beta bios for my old A7A266 now
once its official, ill get it and check it out see if it has this too

:biggrin:

Wrote a letter to soyo telling them to copy what they did so I can be cool like the owners of that board *L*

well what are we waiting for then, lets all start praying...

Asus, MSI, Soyo, ECS, Abit...etc
you all gotta have it!

although does it break any treaties with the CPU makers?

I doubt it, they will make a tone of cash from that design feature though!!! Wonder how well it works!

yeah see the thing is we dont even know if it is officialy released by EPOX yet

it doesnt say it has multiplier unlocker on this page

so we arent sure if it is true yet...

Has anyone asked themselves how a BIOS would be able to bypass cut traces in order to enable changing the multiplier? Assuming it could be done, wouldn't someone have already done it by now?
