voltage problem with BM6

[matt31]

Hi,
I flashed to the latest BIOS the other day and when I went to fit a new Celeron 633(to o-c it),I found that my max voltage was 1.7V.Is that right?Shouldn't it be more than that?

Thanks for any replies,
Regards,
MAtt

Unfortunately, 1.7v is ya limit. The default for the Cel II according to the BM6 is 1.5v so it gives up to 1.7 as a safe voltage, much like with Celeron 1's where it topped @ 2.3v

You can do a hardware mod by rewiring pins or something to get more juice but I don't know much about that, sorry

thanks for your help Storm.I guess it's a new mobo.
Cheers,
Matt

A lot of old Abit boards you could use the re-flash trick on. I'd give it a shot before gettin' another board. Just set your voltage max and re-flash using /sn/cc switches. F10 to exit flash prog and re-set to restart. Go into bios and set everything up. Your max volt should now be about 1.90v

Hi Luta,
Sorry to be a pain,but I'm not that skilled with computers.Could you run that process by me again with a bit more detail.
Thanks,
Matt

Start in DOS and make a bootable disk ( format A: /sys). Copy awdflash.exe and biosxx.bin to floppy.
Make sure you have voltage in bios set to user define and whatever the max is. Boot with floppy, at prompt type : awdflash(space)bios.bin(name of bios rom file)(space)/sn/cc. After prog runs exit with F10 and use re-set to restart. Go into bios and set up your stuff.

thanks Luta,
I'll give it a try.

a quick question:
What does the sn/cc thing do?

They're commandline switches. SN tells it no back-up on old bios and I can't recall what the CC was exactly. In the flash prog it might have a help file that would explain all the diff switches

 

[matt31]

thanks again M8

cc is clear something. I think it is clear the CMOS data. If you type awdflash and the ? or some /#$% it will come back with the allowable switches. cc is one and it will be listed along with an explanation of what it does.
