The bios flash trick does not work with these boards. But there is a way to get voltage from 1.3 to 2.3. I have these settings on my BM6 right now, but with a C 300A @ 474. The answer is to revert back to the original bios. But will my C2 work with the original bios you ask? I don't know. However, I have not read anyone saying they have tried this and it will not work. If it does not work with the original bios (BM6), it probably would be due to the inability of that bios to auto detect the high CPU multiplier.

Someone else commented that with the latest bios for the ZM6, that it will allow for a higher voltage than 1.7 , for some reason the BM6 bios limits out at 1.7 for celeron II. I wish I could get more voltage from my BM6 because at 920mhz/1.7 volts I can almost boot into windows. :frown:

you can do the wire trick , connecting a coupla pins on the socket370 to force it to up the voltage.

is there a site somewhere that shows how to do the "wire trick"? That might be a good fix.
