question on new yorkfield chips and motherboard

[trt740]

If you have a motherboard that supports 1333fsb and 45mm Intel chips when the new 1600 mghz fsb chips come out will they work in a 1333fsb motherboard and be overclocked to 1600 FSB or will they simply not work?

 

[erocker]

I believe that if you set your mobo for a 1600 fsb it will work.

Looks like the x38 motherboards are going to support 45nm Multi-core CPU,and fsb 1600/1333/1066/800/ MHz .But im looking at the maximus extreme and the memory will be 1066 it looks like because the ddr2-1200 says it with oc.

if it was a via chipset i would say yes flat out the old P4M800 chipset was modified to @1066 to handle the new C2D when they came out but with intel you never know

1600FSB will not work "out of the box" so to speak, so if you put in a 1600FSB chip into a 1333FSB enabled board you are most likely to have the board fail to post, many chips if forced to boot to 1600FSB with stock voltage just wont do it and I am not sure that a forced boot would even occur, maybe the board would just automatically drop the multi to compensate.....IDK.
It is highly likely however that at least P35 chipset boards will get a BIOS update to cater for 1600FSB just like many boards did for the 1333FSB (965 and 975's), perhaps more chipsets, the difference may be with some of those boards who's chipsets were developed without 1600FSB support (unlike the x38) that they dont perform quite as well, that remains to be seen though, bottom line often is that if something has been "forced" through software it is sometimes not as efficient as something that is naturally (aka "native") through hardware.

I am sure (IMO) the P35 boards will be compatible with a manufacturers BIOS revision, if they perform as well with those chips however remains to be seen.

holy shit with that avvy trt! that girls head looks completely disproportionate to her body!!!

 

[RottnJP]

She has a head?

 

[trt740]

She has a head?

As they used to say in the Getto that girls all Titty

Ahem...back to the topic. Just as the 975X never really took in a FSB 1333 chip even after OC'ing (though it could OC FSB 1066 chips to 1333) I don't see that happen here. The BIOS freshly detects a new processor. This processor on a FSB 1333 board would cause the board not to POST. You can't use another older chip to set the BIOS to run a 1600 and then pop in a YF 1600 because the board would freshnly detect the chip anyway.

Yup!

some boards will support 1600FSB cpus and some wont, like the 680i socket voltage is not higher enough to support a 1600FSB, but the 780i can and has been shown to work, so nvidia did upgrade the voltage of the socket but didnt say any think about 1600FSB ready, makes me think about nvidia and intel not getting along

i think chipset heat is causing problems for all at these high fsb speeds.. at least for mainstream boards..

odd really cos a new amd system dosnt suffere from hot chipsets.. intels attempts to improve its not so good memory bandwidth by demanding faster and faster fsb speeds is causing heat problems..

its never mentioned much but having looked at my abit an52 all in one nvidia 520 chipset for amd.. not a heat pipe in sight just a baby little heat sink that runs warm to the touch.. i wonder about intel boards smothered in huge heat pipes..

the intel cpus might be getting cooler but the mobos aint..

trog

actually thats not true there is still no issue with the Via chipped boards and heat...


look at the PT880 chipset its been around since s478 and Asrock still sells that with higher and higher fsb support i think that they have one that currently is rated @ 1333 which is pretty crazy considering it was originally 533/800
