how can i get higher voltages than 2.3v in softmenu? i know that there is a way. also, is there a way to change voltages to run i/o lower than 3.2. thnx

I would like to know how to get more voltage too. I have a PIII with a BE6-II. The highest I get with a PIII cpu on the board is 1.9.

You are very lucky to be running that 350 so high! They arent very easy to overclock normally. You must have one of the later chips.

I have often wondered the same thing..I have the BE6 ver1, and I can't play with the i/o either...and my SH6 doesn't have i/o changes, nor will it go past 1.9v...although I been thinking of trying a trick to get more volts...I have a 300a celeron lying around, now I can put that in, change the volts to what I need, and change back to the PIII, and see if the mobo catches it, a trick you might want to try. If it works, then we stumbled onto a secret.
Ohh and BTW, I agree with bdf24..that is one fantastic overclock you've got going...if there is still a space for PII's in the database, then you should post your results...and whatever you did to get that far...as I would think people would visit that often...just to see if they can do the same, I would suspect you have an Intel remarked PII 450
does it say SL3WM on the cartridge?
The only other way I know of, is to use a S370 converter card, and adjust the volts on the card...although you would need a fc-pga processor as well....I remember way back when..ther were articles that explained how cutting certain traces on the secc cartridge would set the volts on the cpu, instead of on the mobo...if I remember correctly, it was Hardocp.com that had the articles...probably entitled celeron overclocking, or 300a secrets, or...you get the idea.

i dont think the chip is remarked as most of the 450's ive heard of are blue core and mine is not. it is just a SL2U3 costa rica PII. its fun to play with but i think i can get higher with more core voltage. whats working for me right now is to lower my i/o to 3.2v. i dont get registry errors or bsod in windows as i did with default i/o voltage on the be6. i just decased it, put new cpu paste throughout. it came out of a micron millenia, heh. it had a pretty hefty aavid heatsink on it and i put a small cpu fan on top of that and im running 40c.
