Which the fastest processor can I choose to motherboard with KT133 chipset
Hello!
I'd like to know, what kind of amd proccesor can I put into my motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-7ZX series) with KT133 chipset (but not KT 133A). The system bus speed is selectable at 100 to 133 MHz. My clock generator is ICS 9249-141 and I can choose FSB as a: 95, 100, 105, 110, 113, 115, 117, and 133). What's the fastest processor I can put into my computer? With regards, Piotr Walendowski P.S. Happy Easter! |

Well, the 133 setting won't work in the KT133 chipset due to an engineering bug in the chipset (the reason for the KT133A). So about the most you will get out of would be around 115, and that's overclocking the PCI/AGP buses and maybe ram bus too, depending on board. So for conservative figures, 24x100 (2400MHz) is the max, assuming you get an unlocked cpu. If you have good ram, tolerant PCI/AGP components, then 24x115 (2760MHz), but you probably won't find any K7 cpu that will run that fast with extreme cooling. See link below for more info. The cpu in the sig line is an unmodified, unlocked, 2100+ Tbred B core, AIUHB 0302. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |

AFAIK this board (7ZX) will not take even an XP1500+, fasest is Athlon
1400MHz/100. I have the same board, revision 1, but with a different clock generator (there were 2 possible) with FSB's 100, 102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 112, 133. All but the 133 worked fine with my PC133 and Duron 750, overclocking the FSB and memory (up to 149MHz), but PCI/AGP are locked IIRC. There was no bios update for Athlon XP when they were released. officially it is not supported, even at speeds within the boards limits, so not sure if they will work at 100MHz. http://www.giga-byte.com/Motherboard...t_Socket+A.htm "Wes Newell" wrote in message newsan.2004.04.10.18.17.35.365540@TAKEOUTverizon .net...

I just told you the 133 setting won't work on the KT133 chipset. Did you read anything I wrote? And you are flat wrong about the fastest cpu that will run in it too. http://www.giga-byte.com/Motherboard...t_Socket+A.htm This means nothing. It's virtually worthless BS from Gigabyte. The same BS Abit shows for the board below.:-) Here's Abits BS. http://fae.abit.com.tw/eng/faq/generic/checkcpu.htm And it's as worthless as Gigabytes. Here's the cpu running at 2400MHz. processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 8 model name : Unknown CPU Type stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 2400.188 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow bogomips : 4784.12 The only problem I could see would be if the some idiot wrote the bios to set the FSB at 133Mhz when a cpu with a 133MHz default FSB was installed. In that case, it won't boot until you mod the cpu for a 100Mhz default FSB since the chipset won't support a 133MHz FSb (Thanks VIA). If you want to know about the default FSB look here. http://fab51.fc2web.com/pc/barton/athlon-e21.html -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |
