Thuban compatibility with AM2+ Motherboards
AGross writes:
As a rule of thumb, users with AM2+/SB600 should limit themselves to X4 Phenom II CPUs or switch to a AM3 motherboard or AM2+ with SB700 or better. Is it likely that SB700 AM2+ MBs will support X6 cpus if the manufacturer doesn't explicitly say so? I looked at the web page for my MB and it didn't list any X6 cpus http://www.gigabyte.co.jp/Support/Mo...r=#anchor_o s -Miles -- The key to happiness is having dreams. [from a fortune cookie] |

Thuban compatibility with AM2+ Motherboards
Don't know about SB700, but AM2+/SB7[1|5]0 works ok, though on some is
'unknown processor' and some post quirks, but after that is 100% stable. Is it likely that SB700 AM2+ MBs will support X6 cpus if the manufacturer doesn't explicitly say so?

Hmm, I looked at the website again today, and now it shows support! [Only for the 1035T and 1055T, but that's OK, since they're only 95W, and I'd like to avoid the hottest chips.] So I guess SB700 systems don't have any fundamental probs. -Miles -- Mayonnaise, n.

One of the sauces that serve the French in place of a state religion. That is more a question of cooling. I had an 125W X2 6000+ (the first 3Ghz X2) on an mATX motherboard (Gigabyte) which officially doesn't support 125W CPUs. I worked fine in a case ventilated by 3 120mm fans and a Zalman copper-something cooler. As long as the cooler can absorb the heat generated and the case is ventilated, there is no danger, at least not with Gigabyte , ASUS, MSI etc. Maybe very cheap mobos have poor voltage regulators that might give in. |
