SOYO & CELERON?

[JyYyM]

Hi, Im having trouble with a soyo 6bva motherboard and a celeron 667, I have tried 3 different "generic" slotckets and none have worked, I know the motherboard works because i was using it with a celeron 300@450(which by the way has the latest firmware; i dont recall the revision but im sure its the latest) I dont have any other motherboard in which I can test this processor, anyone has any ideas of why isnt it working? I have placed all the jumpers in the slotckets correctly and nothing... Every time I install the processor and turn it On I get no video, no beeps, no nothing, I dont know whats happening.

Please if anyone has an idea, post it here

Thanks

Sorry, the motherboard model is 6VBA133, its the one with the VIA chipset.

Your "3 Generic Slotkets" probably don't properly support the cpu. That would be my guess. That kills ya everytime. I'd suggests getting an MSI 6905 Master.
Get this one here.

I got a retail C633 up to 950 with ease on my Soyo 6BA+IV & MSI 6905.

Can you advise on the web address where you obtained the bios update for the X9.5 multiplier

 

[compuwiz1]

BX will unofficially support the 9.5x multiplier. You can set it at 3 or 5x or whatever and it will still read from the cpu and BE 9.5

it's the mobo, not a good one, what revision do you have, it's on the bottom of one corner, very hard to see.

 

[JyYyM]

Hmmm I cant find the revision... is it a fact that the first revisions do noto support copermines? I only kno that it isnt the "pro" but I dont really know what the difference is...

Well, Ive got the msi master slotcket and I still cant get it to boot, am I doomed? any other reason that can be causing it not to boot? any mobo settings? plz help me.

Turn off memory utra fast in the bios...you boot but lose lots of bandwidth
i'm stuck there too..

 

[JyYyM]

Hi, mmm that doesnt seem to work for me, still wont boot even when disabling that in the bios, any ideas why it doesnt?

Thanks

That was the best i could do.. bump

I dont know if it would be your slocket since I'have to be running the cheapest one made. It was $10 and wont even stay in the slot if I have to transport and the store said it wouldnt work with flip chip but it does work flawlesly for cel 2 533@800 but all my slocket jumpers are set to auto and I use the bios for my settings because that cheap slocket was made for the higher voltage original celerons , it was probably state of the art for the 300a

I've got the same set up as Orangeman. it was so easy it should almost be illegal. the msi slotket didn't do it for you eh? hmm...have you tried booting both in overclocked and normal conditions? b/c for some reason when i tried to let mine boot at the normal settings (c633, fsb @ 66) it would barely boot. it would start but crash if you even touched the mouse. but after bumping the bus to 100 mhz it performs flawlessly. you probably have already but i'd double check all the jumpers on the msi slotket are in the default settings and only make changes to anything in your bios.
