Nead Some help to make a OvClck Cpu K6-2

[YankeeeMax]

Hi all,
those who are brave in all their actions !!!

Now that i have my Millenium G200 16 SGRAM with a overclocking 204.34Mhz, i would like to know if some one knows how to put a K6-2 450 @ 500 (!!!).
I nead to know if i have to play with the board junpers or if there is a program for that...
If some one could help it was very cool !!!

The motherboard manual should explain how to set the multiplier to 5.0, instead of 4.5. You may also have to raise the CPU voltage as well (also covered in manual). This makes extra cooling VERY strongly suggested. I use the GlobalWin fan.
However, I don't think that you're likely to have any success. 500Mhz is difficult to achieve with the K6x @ that die size, even for AMD.

Hi YankeeeMax

I eventually got my 450 working at 500 by having the balls to put the core voltage all the way up to 2.7V. Initially I pointed an extra case fan at the heatsink/fan combo, but quickly changed to a VERY large heatsink/fan that cost me £15. It required a bit of cutting to squeeze it between the tall capacitors on the PCB, but it was well worth the effort.

I could probably run at 550 now (didn't boot windows before), but when I select 5.5 my mobo (PcChips M577) seems to drop the FSB and I get a total of 531, so it's not really worth it.

BTW, k6-3's have come down a lot in price, and will give you about 20-30% increase for a given clock speed. If you need to spend lots on cooling, you might consider this and selling on your old CPU.

Good Luck

Tony.
