Voltage probs and Cell2 566 Mhz

[g_goncalo]

Recently i've bought a cell2 566 and i've manage to oc it to 850Mhz at 1,65v. But i want to go further. But my mo just let me go to 1,7v. It's a Abit BH6 v1.1 . the trick of upgrading the bios with /cc dosen't work.
And using others adapters dosen't work as well. Even with a abit sockett 3, if i put the voltage at 1,8 ou more the board just let me put 1,7 at max. What can i do?
BTW it is already very fast with the G400 that i've own.
Sorry for my english, i'm portuguese.....

Make sure to have your Abit BIOS set to autodetect and then use the SlotKET for VCore adjustments.
Probably you also have to set the VCore readout to ignore in your BIOS to avoid a possible error report upon bootup.

Good luck !

Thats basically what I had done. Put the BH6 on auto, and then cooked my Celermine 566 @ as high as 2.0v (I only ran at that voltage for about 20-40minutes). Found out I couldn't overclock higher than 850 (875 had stability problems). After I cooked the the CPU at 2.0v, I discovered somewhat later that I could reset the slotket!!! back to 'auto' and the BIOS could do 1.3v ~ over 2.0v in .05 increments.

I currently run a stock heatsink/fan (CoolerMaster DP5-5F51) with thermal tape overtop of my celermine in my slotket!!!. My average CPU temperature is about 37 degrees Celcius. Soon I'll remove the tape and replace it with silicon compound, and try overclocking again.

Good luck,

IF you want to keep doing all your voltage tweaks in the bios, set the voltage to 1.7v in the bios (The highest the BH6 will let you got) and then reflash the bios again. This will make the bios think that 1.7v is defualt and you can go up to 1.9v ( I think) from there. Flash again at 1.8v, and you should be able to go to 2.0+v in the bios.

It does work as I have done it on my BX6r2. My 566 will run stable at 876, and it will post at 952(112Mhz), but the hard drive fouls up.

Yhe BH6 v1.1 have two choices in the the voltage. THe default, that is detected by the mo, (it sees what cpu) and user select.
BOth ways dosen't give more than 1,7. If i put cpu detect in the voltage and in the socket at 1,85v by example the motherboard just gives 1,5v, that is suposed for the cell2 at 566. But i can run at 897 at 1,7v. (105fsb). well i guest i wil have to replace the mo for that....... (((((

I'll try and be a little more clear this time.

IF you want to use your SoftMenu bios features to tweak the voltage, go into the bios and manually set the voltage to 1.70v by using the "User Defined" setting. Boot up at 566 & 1.7v. Reflash your bios to the same revision you are currently running. After the reflash, you will be able to enter the bios and manually set the voltage(under the user defined setting) to 1.9v now.

I take it you are a little new to this O/C thing. Sorry I didn't make it more clear in my first post.

I just find being able to use the bios to change the voltage is a lot more user friendly than having to change jumpers on the sloket card.

Hy. thank's for replying. But the trick of the voltage as the tokenboy has said just works for the BH6 versions v1.0x. NOT (sorry) for the v1.1. As you can see in the web site there are some diferencies in them.......
thanks
