som3on3 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) Hi, i am using a Pentium 4 Dual Core on the box says it runs at 533Mhz fsb, in Windows with cpu-z says fsb is 133. i modified the boot.plist and add fsb=133. but my computer is running a little slow, if i add fsb=266 computer runs smooth but all mac effects run in slow motion, why? Also... if leave fsb=266 will this affect my computer? Because i don't want to overclock the system. Osx specs: - 10.4.8 Jas Intel Only DVD - kernel: Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.1 (semthex) should i change it to myzar? Comp specs: Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-965p-DS3 Video: ATI Saphirre x1600 Pro 512 Mb Please help, Thanks Edited January 19, 2007 by som3on3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39217-fsb/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
frizbot Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Was there an original problem that caused you to change the boot.plist? CPU-Z may be incorrect, try other utilities. I'd suggest to undo the changes to the boot.plist, and go into the BIOS settings, and reset it to factory settings. Can also check for BIOS updates in case it isn't recognizing your CPU. I'd say to try fsb=533, but I don't know if there's an exact correspondance between that number and anything.

som3on3 Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 The problem was that my sound worked horrible. So i found that fsb stuff will fix the problem and it did, sound working great now. BIOS is recognizing my CPU. Will fsb=533 damage my cpu in any way? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39217-fsb/#findComment-279530 Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuuey Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 i don't think it will damage the CPU, i guess it would only crash if the value is not accepted Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39217-fsb/#findComment-279624 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiaboliK Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) it wont damage it but your fsb flag should be 133 cause 133 quad pumped is 533 so your setting should be fsb=133 Edited January 20, 2007 by DiaboliK Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39217-fsb/#findComment-279816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
