Abit BH6 and Celeron 800 OC Problem

[Alpione]

Hey folks..

Decided to do a quick upgrade to my old Celeron 366 (OC to 458) and bought a Celeron II 800. Motherboard is a BH6 flashed to the latest BIOS (Version SP). My old "slocket" didn't work, so I went and got a new one that officially supported 100/133 FSB. All jumpers on the slocket are set to 1-2 (which selects Intel CPUs and sets everything else to Auto). The Celeron boots up fine at 800 and everything works perfectly.

I tried moving to a 133 FSB (256 megs of PC133 SDRAM) and the SoftMenu took the adjustment with no problem. However, when I rebooted, the CPU was still listed as a Celeron 800. Going back into SoftMenu, the FSB is still set at 133 with, of course, the multiplier of 8. I can't seem to get any adjustments to the FSB to "take" unless I go down in FSB. Any suggestions on this? I'd really like to get this thing sped up a few notches. Thanks...

Test it in Windows using SiSoft Sandra. Just because the BIOS calls it an 800 still doesn't mean it isn't overclocked.

I second what rickr said. The BIOS (post) screen isn't always the most reliable thing in the world. Try something quick and easy like WCPUID by H. Oda.

Did you try to change the default FSB on the slocket to 133mhz? I have a bh6 running an overclocked 533A to 896 and although I've been able to do all adjustments via the SoftMenu it could just very well be that your slocket is overriding the BIOS @ 133mhz.
