Hi, I have jumped on the OC bandwagon with the Celeron II 566 CPU.
Currently I have been using a Abit BH 6.0 Rev 1.0 (the original rev) and a Celeron 300A OC'd to 450MHz. Have 192MB of PC100 RAM (no problems on the stability with the CPU/RAM combo - 1 64MB and 1 128MB RAM DIMMs)
I bought a C566, a MSI MS-6905 Master Slotket, GOrb for the upgrade.
I have flashed my Abit BH 6.0 MB BIOS to the NV version (the latest on Abit's website, and it is supposed to handle the new stuff.
I installed the new C566 onto the MSI slotket, and attached the GOrb onto the C566 CPU. I inserted the CPU/slotket/fan combo into the CPU slot on the MB.
Here's my question:
How should I set up my jumpers on the MSI slotket?
To get my PC to work, here's what I had to do for now:
Currently I manually set up the VCore to be 1.65V, I left J1 opened, and J4 shorted on pins 2-3 for 100MHz FSB, I have the J3 processor jumper shorted on pins 1-2 for Coppermine.
It seems now I have no control in the MB's soft menu CPU settings. If I try changing the settings, it always goes back to 233(66), no matter what I save it to.
When I boot up, I get the "The CPU is unworkable or has been changed press F1 to continue or DEL for soft menu..." error message. If I press F1, Win98 (non-SE) will boot up fine.
earlier, I tried the slotket's Vcore set to AUTO, and I shorted J1 on pins 1-2, and shorted J4 on pings 1-2 so that might be able to use the MB BIOS Soft menu settings to overclock via the BIOS settings, but I was getting the same "The CPU is unworkable or has been changed press F1 to continue or DEL for soft menu..." error message, and having the PC freeze during bootup of Win98, and whenever I tried changing the BIOS for FSB=100, Multiplier=8, voltage=1.50V or 1.65Vand saved the settings, it seems that it would revert back to the nominal 233(66) CPU setting and never retain the 800Mhz settings I was trying to enter into the BIOS.
Also, when I boot up, I see the Processor listed as "Pentium III 550e"
So can some help me get to 850MHz with the CPU/Slotket/MB combo I have now?
Thanks in advance.
