30 pins. Should be good. Thanks! Is it worth all this hassle, though? Why not just replace witha a K6-2 capable motherboard? From strictly a strict cost-benefit point of view? I think not. In fact, I already have my DOS-capable machine, based on Pentium II CPU and 440BX motherboard. It runs non- …

I think it could definitely be done. You'd probably want to use an adjustable voltage regulator chip driving an external pass element. Ideally it would have an output pin indicating operation in or out of regulation. You'd probably want two MOSFETs to float the voltage output pins and another to …

Lenovo T430. Not only does it support XP, but you can also disable Nvidia Optimus from the BIOS, so you could use the laptop's NVidia discrete graphics with Windows XP. Problem is, it's almost impossible to find new.

Once again, realistically clock speed doesn't matter much - main source of heat is massively increased voltage. Heat dissipation increase under voltage increase is not linear. Lowering temperature also won't help much and you can quite literally kill CPU by overvolting even under top notch water …

Thanks, PTherapist. Now, what if I use AMD K6-2 300 instead? I will use the same setting you used; I will set FSB to 50MHz, so the CPU would run at 300 MHz. But unlike you, I will not underclock the K6-2, because it is already a 300 Mhz CPU anyway. As such, I will overvolt the CPU (because I will …

Kreshna, have you got an existing PMMX regulator module? If it's linear, it might be straightforward to modify the set point and add some cooling to the pass element. Unfortunately, I haven't.

On my board I have the jumper for voltage regulator set to 3.3 Volt STD/VR. Doesn't let you go any lower. I could never get the board to POST with the CPU at it's highest clock speed (think that may have been using the 2.0x setting or 1.5x, I forget now). With the 500, I could get it to run at …

Underclocking generates less heat so an overvolt can be countered by an underclock to some extend. Too much of an overvolt will damage the CPU's transistors regardless. I wouldn't overvolt the 0,25 µm dies above 2.7V for long and only with good cooling. The 0,18 µm dies I wouldn't run above 2.3V …

Pardon the necro. I recently bought XVI 073-20742-30 VRM, whose output voltage is 1,3-3,5V. At first, I was happy with the specs, since its output voltage seems to be able to acommodate a wide range of CPU (AMD K6-2, being 2.2v, falls into the range). But much to my dismay, the VRM's input voltage …
