Oldie but goodie - Soyo 5EH question (super 7)

I'm ressurecting an old maching. I gave my K63+ 450mhz some room to breathe in a Soyo 5EHM board (baby AT). Seems to be running great at 550mhz @ 2.0v! I'm going to see if I can hit 600mhz @ 2.1v next. I have a few questions about the board.

First of all, does anybody know how to get bus-speeds above 100mhz? I've done a bunch of searches, and have only found settings for older revisions of the board (my board is rev1.3) any ideas?

Also, does this board do any kind of temperature monitoring?

Thanks in advance!

System Specs:

Soyo 5EHM rev1.3
AMD K6-III+ 550mhz 2.0v
196mb PC100
ATI Rage 128 32mb AGP
Maxtor 10gig 7200rpm
Adaptec 2940 w/ Toshiba 12X
3com 10/100
Voodoo 2 12mb

I had that board in a system that got fried by lightening. I loved it.

No temperature monitoring on the board.

There are some "unofficial" jumper settings that are supposed to go above 100mhz bus. However, back when that board was being produced, it was rare to find bus memory that would work above 100mhz anyway. Thus, although the setting might be there, running at over 100 was mostly impossible.

Your revision of the board makes me think you'll be able to make it.

I still have those old jumper settings at home. I'll look them up tonight and let you know (if I don't forget it and if my wife doesn't have anything else planned for me this evening).

That would be great! Thanks!

Sucks about the temp monitoring, but oh well... :)

This old puppy only goes up to 112 mHz.

On SW1:
switches 1, 2, and 3 control the multiplier
switches 4, 5, and 6 control the bus speed
Off is down, on is up

switch 4 5 6
100mHz off off on
112mHz off on on

Hope this helps.

Finding this stuff helped me clean out some useless paperwork. I'll throw these switch settings away in about a week. PM me if there's anything else.

Funny... thats what I found when I did a google search. Problem is that with my revision on the board 100mhz is all down (off). If I try what you have for 100mhz it won't even post. Hmm...

I didn't think the Rev1.3 would be that much different! Thanks for your help though.
