Be sure you have the latest bios. (Check for a jan bios http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/k6plus.htm) It seems weird but I’ve had bios updates make chips clock higher before on some mobos. Prob not the case in this instance though. But you want full 2+ support.
What model? Gonna mod it to 3+?
Bad mobo caps could also be the reason for poor oc performance. Most + chips will do 600mhz stable at 2.0-2.1v
I mean, all in all you aren’t too far off. But still things to ponder.
Yeah latest bios on both boards. I used Jan's patched bios on both.
It will do 600mhz stable at 2.2.
I don't think it has bad caps, board is NOS and looks brand new. But you never know.
I don't plan on modding it. I've got a K6-3+ running at 600mhz on my other SS7 system, mostly this one was about having a Baby AT as well at the ATX case.
I had all the parts so I figured why not? Plus might be fun to mess around with cards other than a Voodoo 3.
It would probably do 600 mhz with enough encouragement though. It is a pull from a dead Compaq laptop, 533 with a 95mhz FSB. Not sure of the stepping.
Not sure on the Cyrix build what graphics card I am going to use. I have a limited amount of PCI cards.
I don't want to use my V3 PCI as I've got plans for it.
That leaves mostly ATi stuff.
I've got a Rage XL, one of the original ones not the cheapies that they sell now.
Also have a a Diamond 9250SE that is 128bit, but that seems overkill.
Also have a few 2d only cards from Trident. Not sure what else, I'll have to look and see.
