I have recently purchased the asus a7n8x deluxe board for my new system that I am building after christmas. I have heard that the board does unlock the mulitplier for the new thoroughbreds but I have also heard that you can not select a multiplier past 12.5x. Is this the case? Is there anyway I can overclock a 2800+ using the multiplier alone?
nforce2 full multiplier unlock?

It might just be the asus that has the problem 
. With asus, too use a multiplier past 12.5, I think, you either have to unlock the multiplier manually or the processor must have the multiplier set as it's default i.e. the 2800+ is 13.5.
I know there is a way to unlock the thoroughbreds manually by connecting 2 pins, does anyone have any articles on this method?

I have an Epox 8RDA and Tbred 1700 and can also only use a multiplier setting of 12.5 and below. What is the deal? Manually unlocking the CPU didn't help any.
J256, have you tried the 3115 [Jan 15th, 2003] beta bios? It may help. I believe the full multiplier fixes haven't been worked out until the C16 [December 16th] beta bios. Have a look at AOAForums.com, in their Epox section. The Epox Tech usually gives them first crack at beta-bioses.
I'm running on the 3115 bios and have no issues at all, running my XP2400+ at 11.5x 200FSB.
