Max voltage for o/c K6-2+ ??

[Woodie]

I just started o/cing my new K6-2+ @475 in my VA-503+ board.

The max I was able to get to and POST, was 5.0 x 112, @ 2.1 volts. I read somewhere that the K6-2+ doesn't tolerate higher voltages well. Can anybody fill me in on their experience?

Also, have FOP-32 hsf, and it has never even gotten warm to the touch, although I run RC5 all the time.

I used to run my old k6-2 500 @ 550 using 2.5v
The + run at a 2.0v stock voltage, where as the original ran at 2.2v
I've read of people going up to 2.8v but personally, i wouldnt go that high.
(by the way, my temps used to sit round 50c)

check it out... ahem... "factual data"

Thanks for the info. The best I can do, w/o heat sinks for the chipset and HD controller is 112 x 5.0 for a detected 556MHz. :( I had hoped to do better.

Video card doesn't seem to like the o/c at all--AGP ATI Rage IIc w/ 8MB.

I think the next move (if any) is 128 MB of PC133 RAM. Time to go shopping :)

save your money bro!

thats the way it is with K6-2's
i had pretty good stuff, and only got 560mhz 2.8v
that was using a 450afx K6-2 at 112fsb..
i could change multiplier to 5 but 5.5 suffered in windoze

i don't think the ATI is holding you back, and changing it or the memory,
probably, most likely, will not allow more fsb.

no matter what i did, 112 was tops.

If out-of-spec buses is your problem, you should go for 6 x 100 = 600 MHz. Set the multiplier at 2 and the K6-2+ will remap it to 6. Everything else in the system will be on spec except the CPU.

the rage IIc doen't take much
that's true as i used to have that in my pen 200mmx mhz computer
