I was able to generate APIC errors while running the Seti@Home client at 1.90, 1.95, 2.00, 2.05 and 2.10 Volts. Cover was off for all tests. It seemed like APIC errors were less common at the higher voltages, but I didn't bother to make any records to compare etc.
Setup is: 400MHz CPUs, 66MHz bus rate, Default AGPCLK (I assume 2/3), QQ Beta BIOS Power supply is a PC Power & Cooling turbo cool 300, I have another fan in the front of the box and a 486 fan over the BX chipset. Other peripherals: 1 Toshiba SCSI DVD drive 3 x IBM UW SCSI hard drives Matrox G400 AGP Diamond Dual Fireport 40 (Symbios 876 chip) Creative Ensoniq Soundscape 3C905A Ethernet ISA modem
It's not really a big deal to me since I'm getting rid of the BP6 in 2 or 3 weeks, but it's definitely my last ABIT product.
