Overclocking an AMD K6-2/450
Last response: in Overclocking
Ok, before I even start describing my problem: I don't want suggestions to upgrade, etc - I'm working with a budget!
I have a machine in my hands, which has been stripped-down, repaired and reinstated. Sadly, because of the customer's son, multiple parts have been ordered to replace some damaged parts. However, I have been given permission to speed it up a little.
The machine is an AMD K6-2/450, with onboard Sis530 graphics and onboard ESS sound. Schematics of the board, can be found <A HREF="http://inf33-www.informatik.unibw-muenchen.de/infothek/..." target="_new">here</A>.
The FSB is maxed out at the default 100 FSB (4.5 x 100 @ 2.2v) - which is the highest FSB this board will support!
I have tried 5.0 x 100 @ 2.2v as well as increasing the voltage to 2.3v...with no joy! I tried 2.4v, but also nothing.
Hope somebody can help me squeeze some juice out of this thing, lol!
Thanks a lot in advance folks.

What I can tell you for sure is that AMD K6 II has a tendecy to become instable when OC.
However, to boost your spirit, I have to tell you that I use to have a AMD K6 II at 450vich I OC at 500 (by setting the Bus Clock Ratio to 5)and was quite stable, for a long time, without increasing the voltage.

Right, taken the plunge...so to speak.
My results are:
500MHz: 5.0 x 100FSB @ 2.8v - Stable...any lower, I get crashes!
550MHz: 5.5 x 100FSB @ 2.9v - Unreliable. I'm VERY weary of going to the next voltage of 3.3v, lol :frown:
Going to let the machine crunch away some numbers tonight, courtesy of <A HREF="http://www.ud.com/" target="_new">United Devices</A>.
But should I try 550MHz @ 3.3v?
