ABit BH6

I have the original ABit BH6 (both after favorable review as an overclocker from Anandtech). I've been overclocking my Celery 300 to 450 for quite awhile. I'm thinking of getting a badder CPU. ABit says it only supports PIII 500 (?), but the SoftMenu allows for x8 clock and a 100Mhz bus. Shouldn't I be able to put a PIII 800Mhz it it? Has anybody tried.

 
Yes you can put a p3 800mhz on it. I have seen many people who use it. It should not be a problem.
 
you can put any p3 in it. the multiplier in the cpu will reign supreme and override anything in the bios so you can go up to a 1ghz p3 @ 10x100.

2 things: you may have to flash to BIOS "SS" to get the BIOS to recognize the higher Mhz processors and watch the vcore on the newer chips. Not sure if the BH6 can provide the lower, 1.65/1.70 vcore needed for cumine chips.
 
my bh6 1.02 according to MBM is providing 1.68 v and I have the SS bios.

The other limitation with the 1.0x BH6 is the amount of current they can supply. Having said that, many people are running higher speed processors then what Abit recommends on them.
