Hello everyone,
I'm having trouble with setting the voltages on this SS7 motherboard.
Let me tell you the whole story...
This motherboard came with a whole PC and a K5 PR100 (100MHz) already installed. It powered up fine and I was able to do some quick testing. The case was in horrible condition however, so I got rid of it. The motherboard with the CPU just went into a different case, no changes. I then upgraded to a PR133 (also 100 MHZ) and it also worked great. Made no multiplier or voltage changes, since both PR100 and PR133 run on the same speed, FSB and 3.5V.
Now I want to make another upgrade to a Pentium MMX 233. When I checked up on the switches to set the voltage to 2.8V I noticed that it is already set to that. I have not made any changes to them and BOTH K5s ran just fine.
The manual here states that these are the correct switches (7-8-9-10 set to 0-0-0-1)

I'm very skeptical that I won such a silicon lottery of 2 K5s that run stable @ 2.8V. Could this be a motherboard fault or am I looking at an incorrect manual?
