You have one of the few soyo boards that do not allow setting the cpu voltage in the bios +-10%.
So you can only set it by vidpinning the cpu.
Its a pain and if done wrong you can damage/kill the cpu.
Here is a place with good instructions.

Hi JJ Dog,
Placid say's right, it's the only way you have.
I did it on my C2 600 for 1.65v, coz my Mobo don't given it more that 1.75v, not enough for 900Mhz.
It's dangerous coz if the cable around the three pin, touch the others, the Cpu die! but with patience you and everyone can do it.
You can take a look also to http://www.hardocp.com/articles/intel_stuff/bumpvoltage.html
If you need of other info about, don't esitate to contact me, your welcome

Okk mine is cB0 or whatever so the next ting i could go for is 2.03vcore and i did so, but no luck plus i am heating up to 66.5 c so i had to redo , i still cant get above 83fsb with 2.03 volts,think it could be the heat (duh) thjats what im guessing but any more words of wisdom would be nice

Thats hot. If your using the stock cpu cooler you should either wait until you get something better or just run it with what you can get.
With the price of cpu's you might want to consider getting a faster one vs spending the money on cooling.

Well you can buy a decent heatsink and fan for under $30 maybe even closer to $20 but that is no guarantee the cpu will run at 100mhz.
When you said it wouldnt go higher than 83fsb what fsb did you try 100?
Reason I ask is the pci bus gets too far out of spec if its at 1/2 divider over 83 and even at 83 thats pretty far.
A 1/3 divider setting at 100fsb is alot better than trying for the 90's with 1/2.

I've the same revision of C2 600, cb0, and it works "generally" @100Mhz of Fsb with a Vcore of 1.8/1.9v, so you can connect Vid3 to Vss for 1.9v.
Every voltage in the range 1.7/1.85v are unusable without cutting pin Vid2 off, Never Suggested! if wanted better to replace Mobo.
Remember that you need to replace the Cpu cooler, coz all temps over 50C are considered absolutly high, and make the system instable!
