Hi !

I've used a couple of these: AFAICT, the only way to
overclock with this board is when you try to set the
FSB to 133 for older CPUs that normally take a 100 MHz
FSB - which seldom works.

Is there a way to increase fsb or multi on this board ?

Nope. You can set the FSB to 133 or 100 and that is it.
The multiplier is set in the processor - even if you unlock
the processor, there is no way to set it on the mobo.

YES, you can increase the FSB via the softmenu - - -

This worked great for me, but you need to be handy with a soldering iron.

Thanks !
It works !
A little heat with a soldering iron on the back to push the bridge. Cut the
little bridge, silverconductive paint to connect and fsb free ! Run the
Applebred at 1936mhz !
But it seems there is still no trick for the multi ! Only pin mode ?

Glad to hear it worked for you too! I don't think anybody have ever been
successful in getting the BIOS multiplier changes to work on this board.
