Biostar M6VLR

Ok, so I know it's not the best board in the world, but its worked for me so
far, and its been pretty stable. I'm running a PIII 800 Mhz chip in it and
I've managed to get it to run stable at 915 Mhz. My question is, is there a
way to change the voltage with a Biostar mobo? I've been through all of the
settings in the bios and the only thing I could find is the FSB. I also
don't see any jumpers on the board itself.

Here is a link to the site:

If the mobo voltages are alterable, it will be via jumpers and/or the BIOS.
A quick glance of the manual shows neither option.

The only hope is a "voltage mod", which is sometimes done by the enthusiasts
crowd. Of course, this involves physically altering the mobo w/ resistors,
soldering, etc.! Not for the faint hearted. And mostly reserved for
popular, high-end mobo's anyway (iow, such a mod probably doesn't exist for
your mobo).

Short of these options, I don't know any other.

The safest way is by jumpering the VID pins on the processor itself.

The method I use it to strip a single wire from a ribbon cable and use a
safety pin to punch holes though it, making sure it goes through the center
of the wire bundle (not a trivial exercise). You then push the wire onto
the desired pins.

It's non destructive, if you don't slip and bend a pin, and
removable/modifiable.

You can only tie a pin to ground that way (would have to break or insulate
a pin to get a high), so not all voltage choices are available but there's
usually one close enough.

 

Thanks all, I guess I'll have to settle for what I've got for now.
