About SoftFSB

The purpose of this Windows application is to change the base clock ( FSB / Front Side Bus ) frequency without re-stating the system. Any FSB changes are instantaneous.

Originally this software was made to see if it was possible to set FSB values which cannot be set with use of the BIOS.



Warning !!

As for the beginner, do not use this software. This software is for a power user.
If you don't know M/B maker or PLL-IC model, Do not use this software.

Used "SoftFSB.EXE" on your own risk.

You should change the FSB up and down one step at a time because you may damage the CPU if you disregard this.
(Ex:If you change it to 133MHz from 66MHz in one go ... thats bad news!)

If you raise the FSB too high then it is possible that the CPU may not function correctly anymore, and the system will hang.

If your PC hangs and you cant restart it, power off. Wait a little and turn it on again, after making sure that no damage has been done to any of your PC components. Also, it may not return normally, you must do CMOS Clear.

You think ... "Does SoftFSB support my M/B or PC ?", But my answer is "I don't know !!" .
Don't send me the e-mails regarding this question.

Visually check the PLL-IC type on your M/B. If the PLL-IC that you found is in the listing of SoftFSB then try it!

If you ask ... "Does SoftFSB support my PLL-IC ?" ... Without fail teach me the next item.



Target Operating System

SoftFSB runs on Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0/5.0 in both Japanese and English languages.

Environment where thinks that it runs ...

At present, SoftFSB runs on motherboards referred in my Official HomePage.

* PLL-IC chipsets used may differ with the revisions of M/B. In case it does not run with your revision, chipsets etc. sorry :-)

* AOpen M/B is different and can not get the current FSB.



Operations



Supported PLL-IC

At present the following PLL-IC can be controlled.... However, the guarantee does not do.



Can not supported PLL-IC

The next PLL-IC is not able to control it by software. (The many things of a main thing/inquiries)

Winbond W83977TF-xx ... These are not Clock Genetator(PLL-IC).
It is Super I/O Controller. Do not mistake it !!

Also, Many old M/B(PLL-IC) is not able to control by software.
