I've got an ExpertBoard 8661 v1.3 (Intel 430VX design) motherboard. I already know the right jumper settings for the multiplier (2x AMD's new CXT core changes it to 6x) and for the bus clock frequency (66MHz 6x66~400). Now I'm trying to find the jumper settings for CPU core voltage of 2,2V (can be ranged from 2,1V to 2,3V). It can't be found from the manual and neither from the DataExpert web page (www.dataexpert.com.tw). I also tried to contact dataexpert via E-mail, but they haven't answered.
Can anyone help me?
I've tried to look out for help from allmost everywhere, but if you can at least tell me a place where I can find help, I would really appreciate it.

I , myself and others here will tell you the same thing, Don't risk it!!!

For the sake of a little money , upgrade the board. The Intel VX chipset was only designed to run Intel chips ( although they did run AMD K6's fine )upto 233Mhz. You will suffer a few problems running the K6-2 400 on this board otherwise. For starters the CXT core runs in a completely different way to the Intel P55 core ( for as mentioned the chipset was designed for ). AMD first used the CXT core on the K6-2 350's and as soon as they did , Windows started to turn ' belly up ' ( although Microsoft did acknowledge that they were to blame, but why didn't it do the same for the Intel chips greater than 350 ????? ).

My opinion, and I am sure that others will agree. By all means, give it a go if you do find the required info, but please think about it a little more before it costs you another CPU or maybe a board as well.

Good Luck
