Is there a modified BIOS for the ABIT-ST6?

[False Christian]

I was wondering because there seems to be one for every other Abit board except my Abit-ST6RAID. My board currently maxes out at 1.700 volts and a vid-pin mod is out of the question.

Is there a modified BIOS that'll let me get up to 1.850 volts?

Thanks.

youll need the pin trick

False Christian, still use the Voodoo 5? New X3DFX underground beta 9.06 drivers are being tested now and will be out soon.

all tualatins on st6 with this bios can you select 1.050v up to 1.825v without vid-pin.

9p? Is this an official BIOS from Abit? If not, where do I get it?

Thanks.

Hello. I flashed my BIOS to the 9P one but I still only get 1.700 volts maximum.

Hmm
Might be the result of one of those old famous flash tricks, where you had a higher voltage limit after the flash, if you set a custom voltage before flashing. But I thought that stopped working on anything newer than a BX6-R2 ?

BTW, you do know that pumping more than 1.8v into a .13 micron chip is bad news, right? Isn't the maximum absolute voltage 1.9 or something? Look at all the stories of northwoods dying or becoming unstable after having been overvoltaged for months, although I don't see posts about that affecting Tualatins (yet). Maybe I haven't looked hard enough...

I wouldn't go above 1.75v on a tualatin.

Thanks for responding. I'm goona try the mod right on the socket and I will keep the voltage to 1.75 as it's running hot (54 degrees Celsius) at 1.675 volts.

Happy Holidays to you.
