Hi, i just purchased from ebay for 10$ a K6-2 AFR 400 Mhz that can do 6x multiplier on my 66 mhz socket 7 board here
https://www.ultimateretro.net/motherboard/manual/34148.pdf
Now, before i get my hands on my brand new (?) CPU, i would like to know:
- where i can locate and identify VRM on my board to do some temperature testing or see if it can sustain lots of Amps while running at 400 mhz and 2.5v (which is the lowest my motherboard can do on vcore)
- since im running a pentium 200 mmx cpu right now, i would like to know in case AMD k6-2 is not gonna work on my system, if i can use a pentium 233 MMX unlocking the 1,5x to 3,5x multiplier trick, or there is undocumented vcore voltage and/or jumper settings to increase the 66 mhz bus to like 75 mhz/83 mhz (just for testing purposes not for long term use).
My purpose is to squeeze the most out of this board, as far as i can.
My hardware:
pentium 200 MMX
2x32 mb edo dram (total 64 MB)
S3 trio 64V2 1 MB PCI
3dfx Voodoo 2 12 mb
3Com ethernet card PCI
ps/2 keyboard
ps/2 mouse
Yamaha opl-3 sax audio ISA card
windows 98se
startech socket 7/370 fan on the cpu (can dissipate up to pentium III heat so no issues on this side, but the VRM is my first concern right now).
