I have a MSI MS-6368 mobo that I've installed a 566 celeron in.


Is that a coppermine celly?

However, the only options in the BIOS (Award V.6) are to increase FSB
to 68/34 or 75/37. How can I get this sucker to 100Mhz FSB?


By jumper perhaps? However, if it isn't a coppermine and there is no
facility for raising the vcore then you have no chance.

This is a fairly new BIOS (dated last summer), but I'm disappointed
in its overclocking options.

Anyone have any suggestions??


A lot depends on what revision your mobo is. That board came out in

several
different flavours ranging from 1.0 revision through to 5.x and they vary
considerably in what they are capable of.


It's version 5.

Ok, just done some home-work, it has to be a coppermine celly as the board
doesn't support earlier CPUs. MSI state that the board supports a FSB of
66/100/133 so I'm assuming it'll be by jumper. If you don't have the

manual
and want to download it go he

No jumpers available. Only jumpers on the board are for clearing CMOS and
enabling front audio ports.

In the BIOS, under Frequency/Voltage control, there are three options:
1. Autodetect DIMM/PCI clock (enabled or disabled)
2. Spread Spectrum (enabled or disabled)
3. CPU Host / PCI clock (default, 66/33, 68/34, 75/37)

MSI says it automatically detects CPU clock (which is 66Mhz).... maybe
that's why it isn't letting me go to 100Mhz FSB? Maybe MSI's allowed
overclock is limited to 14% or something weird like that....

Would raising the vCore change what MSI sees as the CPU clock or allows for
overclocking? I can raise it to 1.75v by wrapping a coupla pins on the
processor.

Right now, I have it running at 8.5x75 for 638Mhz. I understand most folks
are running these at 8.5x100 for 850Mhz. I'd like to know how to get it
to run at 100Mhz with this MSI mobo.... maybe time for an email to MSI
(doubt they'll help, though).
