My old clunky BH6

[richiew]

I have a BH6 rev 1.0.

What is the fastest processor I can put in this thing?
The web page is kinda cryptic on what I can put in it.

Apparently its any non-coppermine processor/ flipchip processor.

Right now, I have a slot-1 P3-450. I have a Alpha something fan on it.
I can only overclock it to 560, but its a little unstable at that, so I'm running it
at 504mhz.

can i do any better? like do the faster celerons work in this? or are they all the lower voltage fc-pga style?

i'm a really poor college student, so i'd prefer not having upgrade my mobo and such

It should take any celeron out there. I would flash the BIOS first though.

I put a Slot1/650mhz/CuMine into my BH6 rev 1.01, flashed Bios to version SS & upped voltage to 1.7vdc. Been workin fine now 4 some time, no problems, tho I'm not overclocking... I suspect Bios supported up 2 about 700mhz.

u running at 2.0v?
u can goto 2.2v without worry for 600 - 2.3 is maybe getting close to the limit.
Yours with 450@600 at 2.1v

1.0 doesn't have a 1/4 pci divider. Use the correct bios and any good fcpga slocket should let you accept anything that will run on 100fsb. ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/bios/bh6/bh6ss.exe

Yep thats the only downfall - AGP is high and also PCI

BTW - Default voltage 4 CuMine is 1.65v, the BH6 *will* handle that, tho the
current draw may B 2 much 4 a CuMine > 800mhz. I upped my voltage to 1.7v...

check intels web page. the current draw of a Cop 800 is less than a Katmai 600.
