OC for k6-2 300mhz and FIC PA-2013

[Ghetty]

Hi,

I just discovered that my old California Graphics Photon 100 is a FIC PA-2013, upgraded the bios and wanted to try some OC, but couldn't... :(

I changed only the moltiplicator, from x3 to x3.5, to speed up the 300@350 (just to start) but...the fan doesn't work !!! :mad:

I thought I burnt the mobo and so on, replaced the old situation...and works !!! :mad:

Redone the experiment...the fan doesn't start at all !!! :mad:

It seems the fan only works with the proper speed...

I never OC before, but I thought the only issue about the fan was that it couldn't cool enough, not that it wouldn't start at all !!!

Can anyone solve this problem ? :(
Thanx

Is it the stock fan that came on the CPU? Did u raise the power to the chip? I also hear that some K6-2 had their muitlpliers locked. Tell us more.

A simple fix might be to connect your fan directly into your Power Supply, possibly using a 3 pin to 4 Pin adapter.

(I know, doesn't fix the problem, but it is a workaround)

I had to switch my CPU fan to the PSU directly when i OC my k6-2 450, for some reason it just didnt like it on the MB hehe.

the k6-2 450 has been running at 550 for months now and zero problems so far. had it at 600 for a few days but it just wasnt quite stable....

I would think you can get the 300 to 400 np with a decent heatsink and fan.

goodluck, Xan.

Wow, I thought it was easier !!!

I only switched to multiplier, not the core or anything else.
My fan is connected to one of the 2 fan power of my mobo.

Since the other fan is in use, could it be that I can't use both of them during the OC ?

I'll see if I can connect the fan elsewhere...

Anyway I already decided to upgrade my pc in september/october, I don't know if it's worth to make so many tests...

Thanx anyway, I'll make a try, and let you know.

Bye
