Is it possible to do this?
Is there anyway I can take off the lower limit on my Abit IC7 so I can underclock past 100MHz FSB?

Honestly I dont really know....Apoptosis wrote:why would you want to go below 100MHz?
j/k
I'm trying to underclock as far as possible so I dont need to run any fans in my case, I'm not really gaming at all during this time of year, I will be busy working in the fields soon, and I will only need the computer for e-mail and simple tasks like that. I have it at 1.5GHz and 100MHz RAM right now, and it's still plenty fast. After about an hour though, it gets too hot and the alarm goes off.

get a cheap fan controller or put a resistor in line with the 12v DC. since you said you can do math i will let you figure out what resistance you need to drop it down to 7 volts.
but i would get a fan controller (or potentiometer) anyway since it lets you adjust it for max speed with the quietest cooling.

Seems that you do have a math problem when it comes to understanding electricity. if you use the 12v line for power and the 5v line as ground the difference in potental is 7v.A10Pilot3 wrote:Thanks, I can do mathinfinitevalence wrote:run your fans at 7v rather than 12 and you will never hear them, that should give you enough air flow and make it quite.
(12v-5v=7v) if you were wondering
how do I make them run at 7V though?

When I said I could do math, I was referring to the 12 -5 = 7 silly people. I'll work on it and see what I can come up with.
