440BX Motherboard Review - Summer 1999

Overclocking Test Suite, Continued

Gigabyte BX2000

Using the CPU default voltage of 2.0v the BX2000 was able to run @450 MHz.

Because the BX2000 automatically sets the voltage to the CPU factory default it is unable to provide the higher necessary voltage for the SL2W8 CPU to function at 504 MHz.

Microstar MS6163 Overclockability

Even at 450 MHz, the MS6163 can't give our CPU what it needs to function!

Ain't going to do it. The MS6163 just can't get our SL2W8 CPU to run @504 MHz.
