Better board for tualatin overclock

[Wile.E]

hi there,
I have to choose between 2 boards:
Gigabyte 6vtx-e or Qdi advance 10T, what is the better according to you for a tualatin 1.3 overclock?
I mean chance to regulate vcore, bus, etc directly in bios, for example.

thank all

any ideas?

Reading the PDF manual of the Gigabyte board it has all the adjustment for overclocking.

Not sure what you have for a video card but most AGP 8X cards wont work with those motherboards. If the video card requires a AGP 3.0 slot, you might damage the video card and / or motherboard due to voltage differences. In some cases the AGP 8X card wont even fit into the slot properly.

I built a system a few years ago with a 1.2 Celeron Tualatin using a Shuttle motherboard for a co-worker. It's a good cpu, but its really outclassed nowadays.

It would be cheaper to go with a Socket 775 Celeron and board then to buy a Tualatin setup. But I dont know your plans and ideas for the system you're building. Is it going to used for gaming or something else?

hi there, I already have a gigabyte 6vtx-e but it dont let me to regulate vcore voltage, so the tualatin cannot work at 133. For this reason I was thinkin about a qdi.
I've no particular need about this system, I've just 2 tualatin and wish to assembly a pc to try the oc of this cpu. The video card is a radeon 9500, do u think is it a problem?
Probably I'll use it for internet shipping or play Unreal Tournament.

thank u for yo help

Give this a try... download Acrobat Reader and the Gigabyte PDF manual from the link above, if you dont already have it, or get out the manual that comes with the board.

If you scroll to Page 15 of the PDF manual, ( Page 8 in the book ) that shows how to set the Dip Switch CLK_SW to Auto FSB or 133 FSB.

If you scroll to page 79 of the PDF manual ( Page 72 in the book ) you will find your FSB and voltage settings. Leave the CPU voltage at default untill you get the FSB settings correct.

Set the DIP Switch to Auto first. Then, go into BIOS and set the CPU to 133 FSB. This would be the best setting. Then you should be able to use higher FSB settings.

Second Option : If Auto did not work, try the 133 FSB setting.

Hopefully this will correct the issue with the CPU not able to run 133 MHz FSB.

Also set your RAM Speed to the correct spec. If you have 100 Mhz SDRAM set to 100


Your video card should work fine with this board.

You can pin mod the tualatin to run at a slightly higher voltage. I did a few, but that was a while ago.

hi again and thanks for patience,

I did try yo first option, but:
I cannot find into bios the way to change bus speed,
I've the "Hardware monitor and misc setup", but I've no chance to modify none of that parameters (there's no selection active).
So I cannot try neither second option couse I cannot change vcore...

any ideas?

thank u
