Maxwell - Re: "K6-2-400 Overclocks to 500MHz!" Looks like the Uberclockermeister CONFIRMS that the K6-2 needs to be jacked up in operating voltage to get more speed. The chip was originally marked as 2.2v core, but we couldn't go anywhere without raising it to 2.3v. Even settings such as 83x5 (ie. 415Mhz) required 2.3v to run stable. This is very interesting, could it be that 2.2v peaks at somewhere between 400 & 450Mhz? This could mean that later versions of the K6-3 could use something like 2.3v (maybe even 2.4v?), so I'd strongly recommend you to only purchase motherboards that have from 2.0v to 3.0v settings in 0.1v intervals, otherwise you may be forced to upgrade your motherboard when you move to the K6-3.
