Voltage on Abit BE6-II

[MacrossPlus]

Hi... i have a PIII 800 and it would only go to 960mhz @ 120 fsb (blah).. anyways, I was overclocking it on my Abit Sa6R 815e board and I decided to throw the PIII 800 into my Be6-II board and keep my 700E @ 933mhz in the 815E board, but once i moved the PIII 800 into the Be6-II it wouldn't clock up to 960 anymore even though all the settings were the same and the SDRAM was 133 in both computers. The only thing I did notice was that the voltage on my BE6-II is unchangeable, no matter what I set it at it runs the core voltage really high, sometimes to 1.85 volts no matter what I set it at in the BIOS. I'm not sure if this is the reason I can't overclock the 800 on this board, but I am wondering if there's something I'm missing. The Be6-II runs a slocket, do I need to adjust the jumpers on it or something to make it so I can change the voltage in BIOS? Please help.. thanks.

I have a BE6-II and you can adjust voltage if you set your CPU as "User Defined" (is this how yours is set up?) Yes, depending on your slocket you may have to set it to a specified voltage via dip switches. If you have a generic slocket you may want to think about switching to an MSI 2.3.

Hope this helps
