Abit BE6-II

Hello Guys

Does anyone knows if the motherboard Abit BE6-II supports 133Mhz bus?

Nope sorry it does support 133mhz bus (Up to 100mhz). It only accepts up to PIII slot 1 800mhz. AGP 2X and UDMA 66.

Hope this helps.

It "Officially" does not support 133mhz bus, BUT!!!, it will run at 133 or even higher, usually with no trouble.
I currently have a PIII 600 running at 150mhz bus on the same board. Cheers,

You are correct Comtech. Officially it is not supported. But overclocking is not an official way of doing running a processor. Like you I overclock. I have a PIII 600EB overclocked to 675Mhz. (150 bus speed with 150 RAM). I keep it very cooled and VERY monitored for trouble. Those who do not know a whole lot about hardware I do not recommend overclocking. Those who do know about hardware I do recommend it. LOL
If you do overclock keep an eye on the system for lockups and crashes. James Collins

I have this board rev1.2, running PIII700 @ 800mhz.
Look in BIOS, it the mobo "supports" 133 fsb, but the BX chipset only officially support 100 fsb. The problem is that the AGP slot will be way out of specs at 89mhz due to the chipsets lack of a 1/4 divider, and your video card may not work. If it does it will default to 1x once AGP speed gets much over 75mhz (around 114) results may vary. You'll want to put a cooler on your chipset for stability :

This one comes up a lot, even though it says agp read on and you'll find that it is also a chipset cooler that replaces the green passive heatsink on your board.

Hope this helps

Overclocking would be running the CPU at a speed beyond mfg spec. In this case, you're not doing that, you just want it to run at spec (133mhz FSB). The board will handle it easily, and the PCI bus clock will compensate automatically and divide the FSB by 4 to get 33.3mhz instead of by 3 (the case with a 100mhz FSB processor).
If you DO want to overclock, the board will do 150mhz FSB (providing you have really good RAM), and the devices don't mind running at 37.5mhz PCI bus. Cheers,

Actually comtech, you're forgetting one part of it. (someone already said this) Everything will run just fine at 133MHz EXCEPT the AGP. There is no 1/2 multiplier for AGP on the 440BX chipset, so your AGP port will be running at 89MHz at the least. (the spec is 66MHz) If I knew this when I bought my BE6-II, I wouldn't have gotten the CPU with a 133MHz bus. (I don't like overclocking. I just want it to work =) So, now I'm running my 800MHz CPU at 600, just to keep my bus speed at 100. The thing that actually caused me to do this was when my video started getting screwy on bootup. So, I bought a new video card and clocked the FSB down to 100. But then I noticed that there had been some thermal paste on the video card connectors. Oh well.. =)

Will the BE-6 11 board accept Pentium 11 Slot 1 processors, as well as Pentium 111? I need a board to fit my P11 450 Slot1 chip.

Officially 100fsb but FCPGA processors up to 1gig using a slocket. Martin Just trying to help, sometimes falling short, I am only human after all.
