    Mobo - HOT transistor - 100 deg. C

    Why is there too much current going through the regulator? Maybe a high load, a short circuit? Regulators adjust the voltage by burning up the excess as heat. Maybe adjusting the regulators input voltage downward would help. Does/should the cpu+motherboard work?

    help! need to replace fan on amd k6-3

    It might be glued on. I removed my heatsink by using a razorblade to cut through the glue. I rocked the blade back and forth at each of the corners. Eventually the heatsink came off without too much force.

    K6-III+???????

    Mountain I have a Tyan 1590 also. You first must update the bios. Jan Steunebrink has patched the 1.16c bios. You can get it here: Getting the AMD K6-2+ / K6-III+ to work on your Super Socket 7 board.

    Teasy The K6 'plus' processors remap 2.5x to 2.0x :Q

    Mattster I have an older Epox board, the EP-58MVP3C-M. Here is an AMDZone link: WORKING ON K6-2+ AND K6-3+ COMP. LIST!

    Kaiser__Sose Thanks for offering to purchase my cpu, but it is happily running in my Epox board at 600MHz.:D

    I only let it boot into DOS. I'm positive a bios update would fix it, but Tyan won't do it. Others have posted about this. Check this out over at AMDZone: K6-2+/K6-3+ Comparison

    lostatlantis My K6-III+ just arrived today. One of my motherboards is a Tyan 1590. I tried it at a 100MHz FSB. It would boot at a maximum multiplier of 3x. On the boot screen it showed: -MMX CPU at 66MHz

    tcfpcm As far as I can tell the only differences between the K6-x+ and the K6-xE+ are the case temperature rating (85C K6-x+, 70C K6-xE+) and the marketing. The K6-x+ is marketed as a mobile processor, while the K6-xE+ is marketed as an embedded processor. Oh and the K6-IIIE+ is offered at 550MHz.

    Teasy I was just quoting from the AMD data sheets. 'absolute maximum' is their wording.:Q

    K6-III+ $54 :-)

    The K6-2+, K6-III+, and the standard power K6-2E+ and K6-IIIE+ all have a typical operating voltage of 2.0V. Their 'absolute maximum' rating is 2.2V. All of them have the same model id which is 13. (The older K6-2 is model 8, K6-III - model 9)

    lostatlantis I have only heard of one person who managed to get the K6-2+ working properly in the Tyan 1590. Supposedly the maximum it would boot at was 300MHz. He replaced the bios chip with one from Unicore that cost 70 USD. I just ordered a K6-III+. I will try it in my 1590. :confused:
