Undervolting older CPUs

Post by KenB »

Hey guys,

Anyone have ballpark figures on how much a CPU can be undervolted.

I am going to set up a NAS system, and would like to use one of my old K6 CPUs to do it. I have a K6-2+ 400, K6-3+ 400 and a regular K6 233Mhz (3.2v - HOT).

I probably only realistically need aboput 200Mhz with 32MB RAM, and figure maybe I can drop the voltage to around 1.6 or 1.8 like the embedded ones.

Anyone have experience on this? I'd be using a Gigabyte SiS630 chipset PC133 board. I think it has voltage settings galore.
