I bought this Abit BH6 motherboard several years ago when overclocking the celery 300a to 450mhz was the rage. We all thought it was pretty great getting a 50% OC out of a chip. I'm sure there are some of us here still using them. (didn't I sell mine to one of you guys??)
The BH6 served well with that cpu, after about 18 to 24 months I decided to upgrade it. I bought a slocket, new HSF (Golden Orb) and a P3 700e that was guaranteed to OC to 933 from Compuwiz. Steve was a good seller of tested overclocking supplies in the FS forum and I bought several times from him.
It ran that cpu just great but not at 933 due to the pci divider problem on this board. Even so, it ran at 124 FSB for a 868mhz OC.
It's put out a WU every 6.5 hours over the past 18 months or so, and just the other day due to the demise of my MSI BXmaster mobo I moved my new P3 1000 (100fsb) chip with alpha heat sink and dual 60x25 Sunon fans into it and cranked the fsb up to 124mhz.
So now the venerable 3 and a half (or is it 4?) year old motherboard is cranking along at 1240 mhz, putting out sub 5 hour seti WU's.


Yeah, it's a keeper
