i am running a C600 @ 900 using abit bh6 rev 1.1 with the latest (SP) bios and an abit slotket III.
i have had no problems running it at 900. i have a few questions regarding overclocking beyond 900.
1. i read some thread which mentioned the existence of a turbo setting for bh6 for 100 fsb, so that it is possible to attain 103 fsb. however i cannot find such a setting under the "user defined" speed settings, and the highest predefined speed for the current bios is 850(100). am i supposed to see a turbo setting, or have i missed something, causing it not to be there?
2. i have been running at 900 at 1.7v, using the user defined core voltages. i had set my slotket jumpers at auto for both fsb and voltage. i realise though that even if i set the voltage on the slotket as 1.7v, the user defined voltage still ranges only from 1.3v to 1.7v. should this be the case?
3. i tried running at 105 * 9, with a voltage of 1.75v (set on the slotket). halfway through booting windows, i saw a message appeared momentarily on my screen, reporting some error in booting windows, and then there was this message telling me it is now safe to restart my computer using ctrl-alt-del. does this mean that my harddisk is unable to take the higher than normal (105 * 1/3 = 35 mhz) pci bus speed, and hence i could not start windows properly? the harddisk running my OS is an IBM 14 GXP 10.1 gb hdd. i had thought that newer hdd would be able to handle a higher bus speed.
thanks!
