I have just recived my 2500+!
I ordered it in the hope I would get a AQXEA and overclock the hell out of it.
Unfortunatly I have recieved a AQXFA which, if I understand these letters correctly, means I have a newer revision than the AQXEA.
And the bad news? The multiplier is locked - or appears to be. Unless someone knows of something I am doing wrong then it appears that overclocking this is going to be limited to what my RAM can handle.
I have a friend with the same motherboard as me and a earlier revision 2500+ (not sure what stepping) and the multiplier can be changed no problem.
I can change the multiplier in the bios, however this makes no difference at all to the speed the CPU runs at.
Any ideas people? Im just slightly annoyed about this.
Thanks
Steg
