What is the difference between the plain MSI 6905 slotket and the 6905 Master slotket?

I want to try one of these to see if it is more stable than my Abit Slotket!!!. With my Abit I have to use 1.95v to get my Celly2 600 to 1.01 gig. I'm hoping an MSI will allow me to drop the voltage a bit to 1.85 or 1.9. Temps are good but I don't like the high voltage. Any thoughts?

I don't know if it will allow you to get lower voltages, but i know the 6905 master slotkey will let you goto something like 1.5v and lower to u have a good range. You can go all the way up to 2v and in bios it will say 2.5v and you can use it that high too.Hope i helped!

You will need the Master version.

The Master will support the Coppermine C II 600, the plain doen't support them.

Thanks Mr B that's what I needed to know. Are you using one of these and does it seem pretty stable to you? My Abit Slotket!!! is rock solid running 927 at 1.7v but when I jump to 1008 I need 1.95v to be stable. Is it possible the 6905 Master could allow me to lower the voltage by being more stable? Thanks again!

No, actually I've got a Soltek SL02A++, and an abit !!! slocket on my Celeron 600's.

But before I got them, I almost made the (semi)fatal error of buying the MSI 6905 NON Master. Fortunately, the guy I was getting it from realized WHAT I was gonna use it for, and refunded my $$$.

*whew*

The MSI Master is a good piece, from what I've read/heard, the two mentioned above are good as well. Asus also makes a Coppermine compatable slocket, but I just woke up, and coffee withdrawls are causing me to forget the exact part name/number of that one......=)

You can mod them to support coppermines (the old MSI slotkets) but it's easier to get the master for sure Pretty rare these days, in the UK at least... good slotkets though, the old ones were tops too in the Celeron 366@550+ days
