What are some of the newer motherboards that support up to 1.9 volts with no mods?

I'm looking to migrate my CellyII 600 from my trusty old BH6 to a newer board that has at least UDMA66 support. Would prefer ATA100 and AGP4X but I'm not overly pleased with the last VIA board I had (Soyo-6VCA)The new 815E chipsets look nice but most I've seen only go to 1.85v without modding. Slot or socket isn't an issue. The Celly is a cC0 default 1.7v so I'm looking for a board with at least +.2v bumpage.
 
Well the ABIT VH6-2 will give you 1.9 volts but thats its max, up to 200fsb 4by AGP udma 100 but it has the VIA chip:(
good luck on your new board
 
Both my Abit SE6 and SA6R motherboards gave me 1.95v with a P-III 700 cC0 which has a default of 1.7v too. By the way, my SE6 motherboard (i815 chipset) is for sale and already has some cooling mods done to it. Plus, it has an ATA100 controller and 4X AGP.

Abit BE6-2 Revision 1.2 has the max Vc: 1.95 and has max I/O: 3.90
I dont know about Abit BE6-2 Rev 2 if this has higher than Vc: 1.95.

Both Revision 1.2 & 2 has UDMA100 support but 2X AGP
440BX chipset
 
I echo what the Batboy said, except to point out that with a cBO chip the max that my SE6 allowed was .05 volts less than with a cCO chip. I had to do a mod to get more voltage on a cBO.
 
All you need is any slot 1 board with an FC-PGA and slotket combo. That's how I got my old cB0 PIII 700 running at 994 MHz with the core set at 1.95V. Just stay away from socket 370 mobos if you're concerned about limitations in core settings.

Het Batboy, how well do you like your SA6R? From all I've read it looks like a sweet board. I like the raid as that may be something I would like to play around with. I've seen some pretty astounding scores with the raid0 setup. Is there anything you don't like about it? I'm torn between the SA6R and the BE6II rev 2.0. I put a system together for a bud using the BE6II rev 2 and that is also one sweet board. It also has raid and ATA100 support. With your SA6R am I right in assuming you can run your cpu at 100 FSB while running the memory at 133? The BE6II has adjustable I/O voltage that the SA6R doesn't. The SA6R has support for 1/4 PCI divider and 4X agp support that the BE6II doesn't. Why can't someone make a board that has everything one wants?
 
Sempei, so far the SA6R has been wonderful. I can't think of one single complaint. The features I like best are 50 to 250 FSB in 1 MHz increments, RAID controller, and rock solid stability. I'm not positive about the memory bus question, but looking at the manual there are 3 settings for memory bus: 100, 133, and auto., so it looks like maybe you can run the FSB at 100 and the memory at 133. I use the auto and run a FSB of 153 MHz with the dividers at (4:4:1) which runs the memory bus at the full 153 MHz and the PCI at 1/4 of that or 38 MHz. I have Kingmax PC-150 RAM, so I can do this now.
