Need Motherboard Advice

[RyanVM]

Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem right now. I've got a celery 566 and a BM6. The problem is that I can't get over 1.7V. Doh. Especially because 850 isn't quite stable at 1.7 (OK, not even close to stable), even though the temp never even hits 30C.

So, I'm currently in the hunt for a new motherboard. I'm liking the MSI 694 Master right now (6903 Ver. 3.0). Does anybody know anything about this board? My main concern is of course voltages. Which boards allow an FCPGA celeron over 1.7?

Right now it's either going to be a 694 Master (pending nice things being said about it ), or a Slot 1 board with SlotketIII. Thanks for all your help!

Ryan, have you tried the Abit BIOS Flash trick yet, to get higher voltages on your BM6? I don't know if this is applicable to all Abit boards, but I know that for many of them if you set the voltage as high as you can, then flash the BIOS, you'll end up w/ additional voltage settings. Worth a try!

Nope, haven't tried it yet. If I remember correctly, though, it doesn't work on the BM6. I'll try anyways, though Can't hurt!
