Asus p2b-b + celeron700 ?

Hi,<br>
is it possible to run a celeron700 in an asus p2b-b rev1.01 (asus says it's possible with rev1.02 and above :-( ) ?<br>
<br>
plz help<br>

That is tricky since it could mean a voltage issue :} In theory it can work though ..

 

Yes, as far as I know, the board can only deliver 2V and the processor needs 1,8V (right?). What will be the consequence of using the celeron700 ? Will it be recognized ? Will the PC boot ?<br>

OK, when I had a QDI brilliant 1s mobo which uses the same chipset as asus p2b-b (440BX) I didn't had any problems with celeron IIs even if QDI said that the mobo doesn't support them. That happened because the mobos are using a pin on the cpu to determine the voltage so my 533 cel II cpu (1.5volt) was running fine... but since I have never used a p2b-b mobo I can tell for sure chances are 99% it works... but if you want 100% then use a slocket with voltage settings... <IMG SRC="smileys/wink.gif">

 

@Aris: A big 'THX' goes to you ! <IMG SRC="smileys/smile.gif"> <br>

But I have one (last) question: Is their any risk of damaging the processor by using it in my mobo and therefore runnning it at a higher voltage than intended ?<br>

let me put it this way a celeron II @700 would smell funny and will not boot if you run it through 2v <IMG SRC="smileys/hot.gif"> <IMG SRC="smileys/hot.gif"> <IMG SRC="smileys/hot.gif"> <br>

Ask asus for support and wait<br>
1-2 weeks for answer <IMG SRC="smileys/puke.gif"> <br>
or go to <A HREF="http://www.asusnetq.com.tw/english" TARGET=_blank>http://www.asusnetq.com.tw/english</A><br>

More opinions ? (I'm still waiting for the Asus-reply)<br>

Ok some suggestions...<br>
1) Just do it and see what happens.<br>
2) Go to the store where you bought the CPU and ask them to put it on the m/b.<br>
3)wait for an answer.<br>
