Anyone here OC with the Biostar 6100 AM2 board?
Interested to get one.
Or any 6100 overclocker here?
I have two of this board. One is running sempron 1.6Ghz. The other is running A64 2Ghz.
I was only able to clock the sempron to 1.9 but I didn't play around with the memory settings too much.
But with the A64 I have a lot of success with this budget board. I got it to 2.6Ghz and I have not tried more but 2.6 needs a small voltage bump from 1.35 to 1.4 or 1.45. The board allows you to increase up to 0.15+ voltage only but for a budget cheap board, it's great to have that option. There's also lots of memory settings in bios.
Also have a brand new gigabyte AM2 S2 6100 and that one has no overclocking in bios whatsoever except a bit of ram timing settings.
Overall, I am very much satisfied with this board. One thing though, it does not have a parallel port so I had to use some old ports from the older computers and plug them into the board header. Works great.
As I am typing this I am running prime95 and running my cpu at 2.45Ghz with no voltage increase and using stock cooling. Core Temp shows a load of 43-45C and an idle temp of abour 35-36C. It appears to like 2.45Ghz for my 3200+ best. I'm using 667 ram.
