MSI KT3Ultra2: unlocking BIOS mulitipliers?

[nightstormer]

I am using an XP2500+ Barton on my MSI KT3Ultra2 with the newest AMI BIOS, and the CPU mulitiplier is unlocked on this board, which is great. BUT, the maximum usable mulitplier seems to be 12.5/13.0 setting, which is in reality just 12.5. The board supports the XP3000+, which is a 13x mulitiplier, but this setting seems to be hidden and not manually setable. I have the CPU at 12.5x / 166FSB, and it boots up and shows as a 2800+ at default voltage. This CPU is capable of 3200+ on my NF2 motherboard, and I would like to run it at 3000+ (13x / 166FSB) on this one. Anyone know how to "unlock" these hidden BIOS settings in these KT3Ultra2 boards?

Probably the first thing to do would be to sell your mobo. Even if you have to take a big loss. That brand is nothing but problems! Abit is *the* choice.

Don't know why, just what I heard...

Change the cpu default multiplier to 13.
