P5P800 Support New Dual Core CPU?
Assuming a dual core is a good thing - will the P5P800 support the new Intel
cpu(s)? I currently have an ASUS P5P800 MB and a 3.2 GHz cpu that generates a lot of heat and I had an Intel fan that generated a lot of noise when the cpu was under a heavy load. Finally broke down and installed a Zalman 7700 cpu cooler and it solved the noise/cooling problem. Has Intel done anything to cool down the new dual core cpu? |

The dual core cpus will not run on boards with old chipsets, not even i915, much less i865 - you need i945/i955 for that (or nforce 4).

Performance per watt is certainly better, but at the end of the day they still consume about as much power at full load as the fastest single-core p4 cpus intel produces. Roland |
