VH6-II and Celeron 2 1GHZ

Hi ShawnS, I've got an Abit VH6-II with a retail cD0 Celeron 800 running at 1072 (8x134) at default 1.75 volts. 134mhz fsb is as fast as my 8ns PC100 will run. Using the retail HSF, my temps while surfing are ... cpu 40c /case 28c. While gaming, the cpu raises to 42c. If I underclock the...

What is a good - not great - sound card for CUSL2-C?

I'm wondering the same thing; good not great, trouble free audio card for CUSL2-C. Does an Aopen AW744 work well under Win98(first edition) on this board? Thanks.

MSI 6309 core voltage adjustment for Celeron 566 / 850

rushr --- Your 950 screamer has "the mem clk running 133" ... assuming you simply set the DRAM Frequency in BIOS to 133mHz, what RAM are you actually using? Is it 7.5ns PC133, or just 8ns PC100? Or, am I assuming incorrectly, and you actually have your Mem Clk running asynchronous to...

MSI 6309 core voltage adjustment for Celeron 566 / 850

Thanks rushr, that's music to my ears! Is your 633 core stepping cB0 [SL3VS/SL3W9] or C0 [SL4PA/SL4NY]? And what version of BIOS have you got running?

MSI 6309 core voltage adjustment for Celeron 566 / 850

Just an update ... My cousin has replaced the original 6309 with another 6309, can now read the BIOS settings, and is running stable at 850/100 & 1.6Cv ... sweet. BTW ... I did see Fuzzy Logic as a downloadable file at the MSI website, but information about how it works seems non-existant...

MSI 6309 core voltage adjustment for Celeron 566 / 850

Yeah, the screenshot he sent me looked like it worked real well, as the previous numbers show. However, it was still posting to show 800, so he cleared the CMOS, now he's got to reset the applicable BIOS features. He'll get it figured out, I think. 877mHz at 1½ volts is awesome. Fuzzy Logic...

MSI 6309 core voltage adjustment for Celeron 566 / 850

He had previously talked with the vendor, because the installation CD didn't include MSI's Fuzzy Logic cpu setup application. The vendor sent him a new CD, and Fuzzy Logic optimized his system, for a 100mHz memory bus, as follows ... CPU Fan - 4854 rpm CPU Temp - 32c / 89f Vcore - 1.49v Vio -...

Looking for a Super Socket 7 to put a K6 III+ 450...what would you use??

The Tyan S-1598 is a good choice, although I have no experience with it myself. It is 5*2*1 PCI-ISA-AGP, ATA-66, 3 dimms. It's a little bigger than most ATX boards, so that may be a limiting problem in your case (pun). The Epox MVP3G2 is also 5*2*1, ATA-66, 3 dimms. The DFI K6XV3+/66 is...

MSI 6309 core voltage adjustment for Celeron 566 / 850

Excellent. Thanks again, Bubba. I've recommended to him that he try AUTO plus one toggle [1.55] while leaving the bus at 95, reboot and get a reading ... or call the vendor to see if they have tech support to discuss it with ... re-flash or return. I think this is where I wash my hands...

MSI 6309 core voltage adjustment for Celeron 566 / 850

That's a pretty good Dirty Harry impression ... "Do ya feel lucky punk? Well, do ya?" Hahaha I will show this to my cousin, and see how "lucky" he feels. Hahahaha All kiddin' aside, I appreciate it, Jhhnn ... I think it'll work with info you've provided, if he takes a...

MSI 6309 core voltage adjustment for Celeron 566 / 850

Thanks Jhhnn, I hadn't read the HardwareOne review in quite some time ... certainly offers a straightforward perspective. I'd also thought about, like you, that he try one of the settings past "auto", but the risk wasn't something I could fairly suggest. Help me out here a sec ...

MSI 6309 core voltage adjustment for Celeron 566 / 850

My cousins' new MS-6309 is MOBO ver:1.0, preloaded with BIOS ver:1.7. He has still not gotten a reply from MSI concerning unreadable voltage settings on the BIOS screen.

Does Anyone Know how to change the AGP Divider on an MS6309?

I'm guessing that since the 6309 uses the VIA 133A chipset, the AGP divider is self adjusting, as is the PCI divider, depending upon the FSB setting. I don't think you can adjust the AGP or PCI dividers manually. I'm guessing the dividers automatically change at FSB settings near 83 and 124.

New MS6309 Bios Ver 3.0 only for Ver 2.x??

I'm guessing that the version 3.0 BIOS is for version 2.X MOTHERBOARDS. In all their other BIOS upgrades, MSI denotes the MOBO version to which it applies. I suggest looking on the MOBO itself, near the model number 6309, for the MOBO version.

MSI 6309 core voltage adjustment for Celeron 566 / 850

I'm guessing the mobo version will be silkscreened onto the PCB itself, near the model number. I emailed my cousin ... will let you know his reply. I can understand switching to a BX board if it's available. In which of your apps would you say the performance difference is noticable? Was your...

Ah, I see there is a new bios for ver.2 mobos. I do not know if his board is ver.1 or ver.2, but I'll find out. Thanks Bubba.

MSI 6309 core voltage adjustment for Celeron 566 / 850

Yo Bubba, Seems very odd indeed, as this is the only bios setting reacting this way. As far as you know, there isn't any trick to choosing a core voltage on this board, is there? I mean, it's a pretty straightforward & simple bios adjustment, isn't it? I'm thinking 1.70cv max (probably...

MSI 6309 core voltage adjustment for Celeron 566 / 850

Hi Folks, My cousin has a new Microstar MS-6309 mobo, bios ver:1.7, a new Cel-II 566 and a new GOrb. It is running stable at 808 (8.5x95) @ "auto" core voltage (PC Alert III - 1.51cv). He'd like to bump up the voltage for an OC to 850 (8.5x100). However, when he is at the bios screen...
