90nm work on all 939 boards
god damn i didnt think there would be this much crap to think up when
planning a 64 build, tis my first real one with PCI-E and what not anyhow looking at an AMD 3200+ 64 (90nm) socket 939 processor and a Gigabyte K8NF-9 just checked gigabyte website and a list of supported processors brings up a list, i think great, but they are all 130nm here is the list http://www.giga-byte.com/Motherboard..._GA-K8NF-9.htm so my query is that the processor im looking at a 3200+ 64 socket 939 winchester with 90nm will it fit on the gigabyte K8NF-9 board which is a socket 939 board and will it work on that board or does the nm not particularly matter? cheers Christo |

Nope. Its not really that hard. You have an Ultra nforce4 chips board I think. Just choose the mem and video card. |

Nope. sorry to have to double check this, is that nope it wont work on that board or is it Nope it doesnt matter? its just on the gigabyte website the K8NF-9 board has been tested and the comptability only shows 130nm processors, just to clarify will the 90nm procesor work on that board definately?

I assume it does since I havent heard otherwise and if 939 boards only worked with 130 nm 939s it would be all over the place. Anyway heres an example - Anandtech picks that board as a "midrange" choice (below SLI) and a 90nm 939 processor to go along with it. http://www.anandtech.com/guides/showdoc.aspx?i=2324&p=2 And I see all the 939 boards selling with a range of choices - 130 and 90 nm 939 chips - I think they would say something if there was a general problem. Hey if you hear otherwise look into it. A lot of these new boards may have weird bugs that only you a buyer may bother to look into but I havent heard anything in general about 90nm not working with various 939 boards at all. Ive got to go now. |

Youre goign to get the best information there about it. Someone with that board asks the same question in regards to some problem he was having. And he comes to the conclusion its not an issue. And another post says they are using the 90nm with the board. A guy I know did tell me though that SOME boards need a bios update to handle the 90nms he mentioned an Abit board so I guess some boards do have issues. |
