Can you reflash the bios for higher voltage on the Abit bx6 R2

[anvil]

I guess I about said it all above. A search here for "reflash bios" got nothing, but I had read on the Overclockers Forum where some Abit boards allowed the reflash of the bios to higher voltages using the switch /cc in the command line. I tried to reflash "bxr_qr.bin" with the /cc switch on my bx6 R2, but nothing changed.

Does it not work on this board, or should there be more on the command line?

Sure Snowman.

I picked this up at the Intel Motherboard or Intel Processors Forum on overclockers.com. Do a search for reflash bios. Most posts referred to other motherboards, but there was an implication that it might work on several Abit boards.

Checked again Snowman.

Try to find the thread "Abit BH6 1.85v???" in the Intel CPU forum.

I also saw the same thing in other threads but with the extension reduced to just "/cc", which is the only one I have tried. I hoped to find someone with board specific experience before messing around with the bios too much!

Very happy to report that this works!

LutaWicasa on Overclockers.com advised that you need to reflash with the extension " /sn /cc" on the bx6 R2. You MUST set voltage to max in bios before doing this. It leaves all old voltage selections intact and adds new voltages up to 2.05. I have also read that a repeat of the process will push the voltage even higher if you need more power for your flashlight or somethin'!
