Overclocking on a Biostar M5ATA REV 1.0

[G4mingEvolution]

I recently obtained a full system for free containing an Biostar M5ATA REV 1.0 mobo and a 200mhz AMD chip. I belive the chip is a k5 series. I have looked for information but have not been able to find much on overclocking this board. My questions are whats the max i can push this to and or is it possible to run a AMD 333 k6-2 chip on it.

Thanks,Chris

I had one of those boards, very nice. I may still have it stashed away some where....

I was running the K6 series chip in it, could only run 66mhz and 75mhz FSB speeds so the most I could get was 300mhz. I had a K6/233 running at 75x3.5 for 262mhz, and managed to push a K6/266 to 300mhz, but not real stable.

As for the K6/2 series, you won't be able to run them because your core voltage will not go low enough. I will check to see if I still have a manual around for that board....

Hope this helps a little.

yea actaully i am running a k6 200mhz in it. Isnt there some way i can drop the voltage and run the k62 333?

[G4mingEvolution]

well i happened to find this info but this is about modding it to run a amd k6-3 400mhz. Any ideas people?

I just gave up on trying to get the 333 to work. I overclocked the 200mhz k6 to 225mhz with 75mhz bus. It was either that or 233mhz on a 66mhz bus. Runs smooth so far.

Sounds good. I don't know of any way to lower the voltage enough to get the K6/2/3 series to work properly. At least you squeezed a bit more out of it!
