Is 2.5V too much for a 2.2V rated K6-2 350

[Chewbacca1]

Like I've posted before, I bought a K6-2 350 2.2V core from ebay for $13 for my secondary system. I've Oced it to 450 with 2.5V. It froze during boot @ 2.4V. If I'm not totally wrong, The K6-2s had a max allowed voltage of 2.5V. Any suggestions are appreciated.<br><br>!!!SHIaT that system just rebooted itself. I guess I might be pushing it here. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ns/mad.gif ALT=">:"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Chewie. <p></p><i></i>

Make that 2.6V, seems to be stable now. HWmonitor reports 2.55V and temps lower than 30°C. So I'll be leaving it that way for now. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... smokin.gif ALT=":smokin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Chewie. <p></p><i></i>

Should be fine if you have adequate cooling. I used to have a K6-2 350 2.2V overclocked to 400MHz, but it'd only be stable if I ran it at 2.9V. Ran like that for a few months before I upgraded. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p>-=-=-=-=-<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://nohr.darktech.org/computers.htm" target="top">Nohr's Rigs</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></p><i></i>

My standard K7 cooler where I had do replace a defective 60mm fan with a 50mm fan I still had around. I dunno how reliable HWmon is but temps haven't exceeded 30°C yet. Is trying to go for 500 toooo much? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ns/eek.gif ALT=":eek"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> (I'm pretty sure it is)<br><br>Chewie. <p></p><i></i>

All of those chips were 2.4v capable anyway; the best of the bunch were sold as 400 and 450 MHz chips with a rating of 2.4v. I've heard plenty of stories of people running them as high as 3.0v and succeeding with good cooling. Those K6-2 chips were pretty tough. <p></p><i></i>

bah you wont be using a k6 long enough to fry it even if you had it at 3.3v just give it as much as it takes to get it stable <p>vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvVVVVVVVVVVVV <br>Athlon XP 1600+@1.82ghz(9x202) V Duron 1.1ghz V pentium 2 350@490<br>Crucial PC2700 Cas2.5 fastest settings v 384mb pc133 ram V 256mb pc133<br>Epox 8k9a2+(kt400) V iwill KK266+ V Asus P2B<br>Radeon 8500@280/340 V matrox g400 V matrox G400<br>Sound Blaster Live V 20gigs V IBM 13gb<br>2xWD 20gb 7200 RPM raid 0 setup V 16x10x32 Samsung V Windows XP<br>1xWD 20gb 7200 RPM V windows XP V No sound<br>16x10x40 Yamaha burner V 5.1 onboard soundV 32x cd rom<br>52x Asus CD-ROM V 3com NIC V 3com NIC<br>vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvVVVVVVVVVVVV </p><i></i>

Ya know, I believe each CPU has a standard offset from the sensor reading for what the core temp is actually closer to; the readme should say what it is, and you can enter it into the program...so its probably a bit higher than it appears. <p></p><i></i>

Is this HWmon some sort of software you can download, or part of something built into the motherboard.<br><br>If downloadable, where can I get it? <p></p><i></i>

Im pretty sure you can offset the temp in motherboard monitor <p>vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvVVVVVVVVVVVV <br>Athlon XP 1600+@1.82ghz(9x202) V Duron 1.1ghz V pentium 2 350@490<br>Crucial PC2700 Cas2.5 fastest settings v 384mb pc133 ram V 256mb pc133<br>Epox 8k9a2+(kt400) V iwill KK266+ V Asus P2B<br>Radeon 8500@280/340 V matrox g400 V matrox G400<br>Sound Blaster Live V 20gigs V IBM 13gb<br>2xWD 20gb 7200 RPM raid 0 setup V 16x10x32 Samsung V Windows XP<br>1xWD 20gb 7200 RPM V windows XP V No sound<br>16x10x40 Yamaha burner V 5.1 onboard soundV 32x cd rom<br>52x Asus CD-ROM V 3com NIC V 3com NIC<br>vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvVVVVVVVVVVVV </p><i></i>

I guess I'll keep this CPU @ 450 for a while. The HS is actually COLD to the touch. That is the main reason I am thinking about more in the first place.<br><br>Chewie. <p></p><i></i>
