Alrighty, just checked the mobo.

There are two modes: jumper free, which is what it's currently set to, and jumper mode where you can maually set the clock speed.

The problem is, this manual is a POS. The diagram literally circles a small cluster of jumpers (probably 16 pins or so) and shows a random 3 along w/ the configuration. The problem is, it doesn't state which set of pins. There are about 4 jumper caps next to a block of 16 pins. The mobo itself simply has underneath said block of pins "1-2 jumper mode, 2-3 jumper free". Great, thanks for the detailed explanation as to which ones they are!

In any case, I tried raising the speed again through the BIOS since that's the mode it's physically set to. I was gonna let things run anyway since that's the speed the chip is SUPPOSED to be at. The auto-shutdown kicked in and a voice (via system speaker) came on to notify me that the CPU was reaching extremely hot temperatures.. then it shut down.

I started it back up, switched back to the 1.1 ghz.. now back to square 1.

I think it's completely BS that this chip is shitting out on speeds it's supposed to be handling to begin with.
