Abit BE6

[Cain]

Hello all
Here is my dilema I am curently running a Celeron 633 @ 950 core volts is 1.95 and it is done through my IWILL slocket II on an abit be6 rev 1.
Well what I am wondering is would it be worth while to go buy the Abit VH6 for AGP 4x and 133mzh for my mem and 100 mzh for my cpu. Will the VH6 let me choose 1.95 core volts for my cpu because this celery i have needs it to be stable at 950.

Thanks for the help Cain

The VH6 will not go that high without wiring the pins. I have done a few and they will work ok with the wire wrap.

Hey Tim,

Is there somewhere that explains wiring the pins for less than 2.2 volts? I can hit 1.85 and need to get to 1.9 or so for my PIII 700!

Hi Marty- The actual wiring required depends on the stepping of the chip. cc0 uses a different code than a cb0. I have the chart that shows the various combinations. The problem on the cc0s is that it becomes necessary to isolate a pin from the socket. (some folks break it off or bend it over...)

What stepping so you have?

I have a PIII 700 cbO. It is on an Abit SA6 motherboard. The lastest BIOS for the SA6 allows the 1.90 setting. When I flashed with that BIOS, Windows ME would not boot except in the safe mode. It tried it three times with some different settings and no luck.

I will likely try it again and if I still have trouble I will try to install the OS on a spare HD to see if a fresh install will allow the new BIOS to work.

But I am interested in the pin thing just incase I fail with the BIOS.

Can you coat the pin with nail polish or some similar insulator or do you have to break it off? I am looking for 1.9 volts, not 2.2!
