05A/05B compatible
I am getting ready to build a system using the Intel DG965WHMKR G965
Express motherboard. I have read, this is a 05B motherboard. My question, Can I use a 05A Intel P4 Processor 641 3.20 GHz. TIA |

And found out it wouldn't work. Would the chip still be Good, or is it damaged now? |

If you tried to install an 05B processor on a board that only supported 05A, you may run into probs such as VRM's that couldn't handle it, but t'other way round is fine. You're putting a 95W processor in a board that can handle up to 130W. -- Cheerz - Brownz http://www.brownz.org/ |

I am not sure but I think the 04B board (D915PCY board) uses 1.4v max. And the 05A cpu chip that he is selling was installed on this 04B board briefly. The 05A box says 1.3v max. Do you think this chip is dead now? The sSpecs(SL94X)on the 05A cpu from intel's website say Core Voltage 1.25V-1.4V. So I am guessing it is still a good cpu and not damaged by the 04B board? I will know for sure in a couple of days, when I try it out. I wonder if this problem has happened to anybody else out there? Putting a 05A chip on a 04B motherboard is pretty retarded but asking if the cpu is still functional may be just as retarded. I don't know |

I don't know If you are going to be this worried and paranoid about buying this chip and/or offending the friend, then don't do it. There are things in life that are more valuable than trying to figure out what CPU to obtain. Go to the spec sheet of the motherboard to resolve the question. |

TIA I have just decided to use this board also. I was thinking about the Pentium D840 or the Pentium D930. Any thing you can tell me about your instal would be helpful. Thanks!

If the board was built properly and followed Intel's specification for the core supply, then no, it would not be damaged. Intel's spec requires that any motherboard that cannot supply the correct Vcore that the CPU requests through the VID pins, shut down the core power supply. |

Any thing you can tell me about your instal would be helpful. Thanks! James in Northeast Texas Well I have built the system using DG965WHMKR and the 641 CPU in question. All went fine, no problems to mention. The board is fast and the cpu is fast enough for me at the moment. I would recommend a good power supply and nice case. I plan on getting some DDR2 800 memory next, only using 533 now. This board has alot of features that I am still learning about. Post some questions if you have any, |

I will order the same DG965whmkr and a intel 840 or 930 cpu. Should be in
next week or week after. What size fans and how many are you using? I thought I would put in two 120mm fans. Are you using a variable speed CPU fan? I see there is a BIOS update listed on Intel's site. Have you installed the new bios?
