ASUS P2B and Celron 566

[Godsend1]

I have an ASUS P2B rev 1.02. Can I put a Celeron 566 with slocket in?

 

[Godsend1]

I really want to know if I can do this. Anyone?

Theres no reason that I know of that you cant. I ran one in a bx board with a slocket. If your bios doesnt support the clock multiplier it shouldnt matter because its locked anyway. You should be able to run it at 100 mhz fsb X 8.5 =850. Ive ran mine there for 4 months now.

I had P2B and had the same question... I couldn't find an answer so I decide to try it and see what happens...



It didn't work out for me... It didn;'t boot up so I flashed BIOS and still no boots...
Mine was rev1.01 so you may have chance but better find out before try it... Somplace like the one I went, charge you 30% restoking fee...

Good luck~

I'm currently use a two years old Asus P2B rev 1.02, updated with BIOS 1012, and a Celeron 633 on an Asus S370-DL sloket. At Vcore 1.8, is running 950mhz air-cool with stock Intel HS/fan and 1063mhz with water-cool.

WooHOO!!!!! You the man! Thank you Walking Dead.

You gotta a pretty old revision of the P2B godsend1. You may have to run the voltage at 1.8 to make it work. Some of the older P2B can't go lower than that.

Hi,

What's the default voltage for the Celron 633 that you have? Did you bump up the voltage for it to be overclocked?

Only the P2B rev 1.12 has official support for Coppermine Celeron processors.

Older revisions of the P2B can be made to work with the Celeron2s.

Revisions prior to 1.12 do not support the 1.50 volts requested by the Celerons.

To make the Celerons work, you need the latest BIOS update, and to use a Slotket. You need to set the voltage on the slotket to 1.80 volts, which is the minimum all P2B boards support.

Is there a way to find out what at what voltage the CPU that you've just purchased runs at? From the box I presume or from Intel's website?

Another thing bout the slocket, will using one with the older P2Bs damage the mobo in the long run?
