Problems with Abit SE6

[heng1028]

I have a over heating with the SE6 and celeron 566.
When I boot my pc, the SE6 alert me that it is getting overheat.
is that a problem of the thermo sensor of SE6 or the processor is really too hot?? Please help!

When you boot, go into your bios and you can check your system health or whatever it's called....when you do this, it will give you a realtime reading of what your temp is. If the system is cold when you start it, you will know if the reading is accurate or not. It doesn't take long to heat up, but it's a processor, not a steam iron so if it heats to something TOO excessive(like over 41C, you'll know). I have a PIII 800 on that board and it runs pretty constant at 39C.

My 733 runs at about 35C I believe.

I have fix this problem by using better thermal grease.
I am running at 850 now but I am planning to push it higher but SE6 provides voltage to 1.7volt only. Is there any other way to get higher voltage on SE6??
