I need to know if anyone with a M571 v3.2 motherboard has overclocked with a 83mhz bus and higher core voltages than the manual says. I was playing around with the jumpers, and overclocked the sucker, but with the cpu (AMD K6-233 w/mmx) already running pretty warm it fried my HD somehow. I'll update when I get the jumper settings I used...

theres no way you can over clock this thing

I have one computer that has a K6 266mmx in it that ran for about three years overclocked to 366Mhz. It now runs at 333Mhz. The reason I reduced the speed is that this computer is used in the shop which is not air conditioned, and heat is a big problem with it. It uses a no-name socket 370/socket a heatsink and fan. I also added a small exhaust fan. BTW this is a compaq 2254, FSB of 66Mhz. There is no way to bump up the FSB on this compaq motherboard it is only available at 66Mhz. You should be able to bump the multiplier up a couple of steps on yours. At least 300Mhz should be reachable with your K6, maybe more. Use a good heatsink and a good fan. These old K6's really put out the heat I tried a "Power Leap" adapter with a K6-2 500Mhz CPU, on the compaq, but the BIOS wouldn't recognize it. (For those that don't know a "Power Leap" adapter is like a "gold finger" device for Socket 7 and some other CPU's. It fits between the socket 7 and the CPU and lets you change the multiplier, voltage, etc.) I ended up putting the K6-500 on a Tekram (100Mhz) motherboard, overclocking it to 600Mhz, and not using the "Power Leap" adapter. Good Luck

I have one of these boards laying around & was considering throwing some of my old parts together. It should run up to a K6-2/500 because the K6-2 sees the 2x multiplier setting as 6x...6 x 83mhz = 498mhz! I have a copy of the undocumented settings for this board...if you need em, I'll dig up the link & post it here.

Here's the link, I had it saved in my favorites folder: http://home.directlink.net/~timmy/M571/jumpers.htm
