Hmmmm.....was thinking about this today as I contemplate wire-tricking my current 1.6A @ 2.4 @ 1.70V setup to overcome the cold-booting problem
My "old" machine is with my brother - it is a Abit BF6 board with a Celeron 566A @ 850 - now, I know this was a VERY common and VERY easy & standard overlclock..many of you no doubt had one.
In my case, the 566A **had** to run at 1.85V to get it stable and to boot and run - anything less than 1.85V - it would not boot up..
Now....according to the cold-boot-motherboard-boot-up-voltage issue........motherboards apply the initial voltage at the CPU default [1.5V in the case of the 566A] ...... why then did I never **EVER** get any sort of cold-boot or warm-boot issues with the BF6 ? I mean this was a CPU that needed 1.85V to boot into windows, yet with only 1.5V supposedly on boot-up, it never-ever cold-or-warm-booted ?
Can anyone explain why this was the case ?
Or is it as simple as the BF6 provided the full selected voltage from start-up ?
If that is it, "why the @#$#" can a board that is 3 years old not have this problem, yet so many newer boards do ?
Food for thought !
