Core voltage

I had celeron 400@450 and have just upgraded to a celeron 566@707 , with no probs at all but my goal is 850. I'm running a Abit BH6 M/board with socket converter plus the latest bios update bh6_ss.bin. These are all the same nothing has changed there so why when running my 400 was the core voltage able to adjust from 1.30 to 2.30 but when i install the 566 it only adjusts from 1.30 to 1.70, which it seems where the problem lies as most people i have spoken to run them at 1.80 to 1.90 to gain stability. Can anyone please help because at 850 my system is very unstable.
 
Which slotket do you have? With a brand-name slotket, you should be able to adjust the voltage with it, and not have to rely on the mb to set the voltage.

Celeron II should run at 1.60v normally so be careful about how high you puch it up. You should be stable at 1.65 and 1.70 but watch the heat above that. Some CPU's are just not ment to reach 850Mhz.
 
Don't worry about the voltage so much. As long as you watch your heat you can push them up to 1.9 safely, maybe slightly more.

I have my Cel2600 at 945mhz @ 1.89v to 1.9v.

I don't know about your Motherboard but I belive the Abit boards need to use a bios trick to change the voltage.

Ask or do a search for info on the bios trick. There are many detailed expanations on these boards. Also ask if your board is one of the boards that need this.

From my understanding(I haven't done this, so you might want to look up a detailed guide) it involves setting your voltage at the highest in the bios, then flashing the bios, which makes the new voltage detected as the default. Then you can raise the voltage from there. The Abit boards that need this raise voltage based on a percentage of the default.

Hope this helps. I'm sure there are others that can help you more, but I hope I set you on the right path.
