OK, I'm kidding :)

I just wanted to ask if someone knows how to push the voltage even more than what the BIOS allows me to - 1.7V (on my BH6 v2.0). The damned thing won't do more than 9x90 otherwise :( And even at 9x90 it crashes sometimes.

Guide to raising voltage on BH6.
step1: set your bios setting to default - remember the cpu speed too.
step2 : set voltage to user defined, set to highest available setting.
step3: save settings and restart.

insert the ss bios disk.
now the computer will start from the floppy.
1: type awdflash and flash program starts.
2: type in the name of the .bin file (bh6_ss.bin)
3: the flash program will ask you if you want to save the old bios - answer yes!
4: save the old bios to floppy with any name you like . press enter.
5: after the flash program has saved the old bios it will ask you if you want to program the bios - answer no.
6: the flash program will now terminate and return to your floppy drive.

now you are ready to trick your bios voltage settings!
7: the trick is not to start the flash program as you did previously .
8: type exactly as follows for the bh6ss bios : awdflash.exe bh6_ss.bin /py /sn /cc
9: press enter and later f10 to exit program.
10: restart and go into bios setting - now you will see the higher voltage is now the default.

You better hold your horses and figure out a few basics first.

There is no bh6 version2. there's a bh6 and a bx6.2. you can't run or choose 9x90 if that's supposed to represent multiplier and bus speed.

Figure out what motherboard you have and post it.

to Truro:

Heeey, I'm not that dumb! :)

It's really a BH6 Rev.2.0, I got is as a replace, when my first BH6 (1.01) died. It has something like "BH6 V2.0" written somewhere on the PCB, and most importantly, it has different Clock generator (according to SoftFSB, it should be IC-Works W196x or W204x), which supports these FSB frequencies:

1/2: 66, 75, 78, 81, 83
1/3: 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 112, 113.5, 115, 117, 118.5, 120, 122, 124
1/4: 124, 126, 133, 135, 137, 138.5, 140, 142, 144, 150, 155

This change is also reflected in the BH6 User's Manual, which is otherwise the same. Another change is that the ports (PS/2, parallel, serial) are not black, but coloured, like with the newer mobo's.

I know that such a board has never hit the retail market, I also know that there's absolutely no information about it on Abit's website, and there's also no BIOS for this board. (bh6_ss worked, but the FSB frequencies were absolutely mismatched, excluding 66 & 100) I wrote to Abit's Tech Support to get some info about the board, but got no response yet. Seems like a leaked engineering sample :)

to jinsonxu:

It worked! I'm now running at 9x95 (exactly 95.45) = 859, 1.85V. At 900, it's not absolutely stable even at 2.0V, at 2.05 and more the computer doesn't even start.
