System Setup:
Overclocking:
While this is more dependent on the CPU than on the
motherboard or chipset, some mention should be made of the overclocking
potential of the SE6. We all know that ABIT loves to cater to overclockers and
always provides just about everything that an overclocker could need on its
motherboards, the SE6 is no exception.
Voltage Options: 1.30-1.85V (0.05V increments)
FSB Options: 66 / 68 / 70 / 72 / 75 / 77 / 83 / 90 /
100 / 103 / 112 / 115 / 120 / 125 / 128 / 130 / 133 / 137 / 140 / 145 / 150 /
153
The BIOS automatically sets the dividers for AGP 1/2 or
2/3 depending on the front side bus speed selected so you don't have to worry
about frying your fancy video card. Really what more can you ask for? How
about more FSB selection between 103Mhz to 112Mhz.
The Celeron 566 has proven to be a very overclockable
chip. This unit runs 100% stable at 900Mhz. The only problem is to run at the
speed requires a front side bus speed of 106Mhz. This is a bus speed available
from the Abit BX-133 motherboard but it is not available in the SE6. As such, we
had to make due with the 103Mhz bus "just" 875Mhz. The Celeron 566 would not run
at 112Mhz no matter how much voltage was used. However, it was able to run at
875Mhz using stock voltage. A testament to the stability of the motherboard.
It's a same Abit couldn't put the same great Softmenu III that was used in the
BX-133 into the SE6.
