I have an MSI 6905 Master slocket w/P3700@933 on a Soyo 6BA+4. With the voltage on the slocket set to auto(1.65) I can set the votage to 1.79 VIA the BIO's voltage adjustment. I want to get to 1.85 but everytime I set the slocket jumpers to anything over 1.65(w/voltage set to normal in the Bio's) it sets the voltage to 2.06. I've tried it at several settings 1.70,1.75,1.80,1.85 and they all set it at 2.06.
Am I missing something here or is the slocket not functioning properly? I haven't noticed any other problems with it.

If memory serves me well I know that the Soyo motherboards could only handle voltage adjustments in percent.
Almost everyone I know here from Hardware Central puts their Slocket Cards to Auto and just uses the motherboards built in BIOS to increase voltage. The Soyo's however can't get past a certain voltage because of the way it was done.
You're going to have to set your card to Auto and just push the voltage as high as you can without hitting 2.0 Volts.

Yes, the voltage adjustments are 2.5%,5%,7.5% and 10%. Using the bio's voltage adjustments at the default voltage I can only reach 1.79.
I thought you could adjust the voltage on the slocket and then adjust up in the bio's from that point for easy small voltage changes.
I want to run this chip at 1.85.

Well, it works with the Iwill Slotket II. That's how I got the core to 1.89V on my Soyo SY-6BA+IV board. I just set the slotket jumpers to 1.75V and upped the core by 7.5% in the BIOS. Without that capability, my PIII 700 would not have gotten to 970 MHz. Sounds like a defective slotket to me.
I've flashed it a couple of times. Mostly to get the updated Highpoint BIOS. No new FSBs, it pretty much has all I can use anyway. Still rock stable at 970 MHz, but 1011 MHz works for Windows stuff but won't cut it for any 3D apps.
But you don't have to do any of that stuff Toolbox is talking about, you just need a new slotket. I can vouch for the Iwill, but there's quite a few good ones out there.
