overclocking a k6-2 550 to higher...

[Sublyme]

I have an old system i'm going to put up as a server or something, and it's a k6-2 550. I'd like to overclock it, only the bios only supports up to 550 mhz. The mobo is a pcchips board, can't get the specifics on it cause the site is so damn slow, but needless to say it has two pci slots, 1 isa, 3 dimms, supports to ~750 ram and 550 mhz, socket 7.

Anyways, any way I can overclock this mother? Thanks for the answers in advance.

Set the voltage to 2.6V and set the multiplier to 2X (6X in Hardware) and you will have 600MHz which is the highest possible value for the K6-2 without going out of the pci/agp spec!

Yeah I doubt any bioses will display speed right over 550 anyway, some cutoff at 400....

Some rare boards have 133 buses that don't screw up the AGP etc, then you can go to 800 theoretically........ with a vapochill...... and probably a K6-2+ or 3+

Nah, guys, you dont understand, this board, the bios, it's soooo **** it doesnt allow the adjustment of those things, just lets me set clock speed within the bios, and the highest that goes is 550...

Any software solutions, cause I cant think of a way to do it otherwise...

i had a GA-5smn to run my 475 k6-2 w/ a 133 fsb @ 466

and 560 was the higest i could go , i didnt know about the 2x trick then

and the mobo fried first, and this chip surivied 3.2 vcore

oh yeah baby

ive got it sitn in a socket 7 no name POS , tryin the 2x trick , with 75 fsb ( highest on this pos which i got for 25 $ ) and its been loading windows for ever..........................

bios says 66 mhz when its @ 225 mhz , and 16mhz with 2 x multi
