P4 2.8 800fsb on an MSI 533 mobo

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking (More info?)

as a newbie I would like to know if this P4 processor will run on my MSI
845pe max2 6704 mobo? The MSI site says not supported but is there a way to
do this? Or is it a nono? No big deal as I can upgrade the mobo but dont
want to blow anything up by trying the combination.

All any help appreciated!

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I tried a 800FSB cpu on my Gigabyte 533 board and it did not work.
Well it worked but did not run at correct speed even if i set FSB to 200.

If I' m not wrong, you should have set the FSB to 133MHz with a 533 (4 x
133) mobo ! The cpu is then underclocked, but must work.

Thanks for the comments. It will work but will be underclocked, which is a
waste. I have decided to sell the MSI Mobo and
buy an 800fsb capable one instead...

Beginners fun this ...

It will have to be a cheap and cheerful board - I found an Intel D875PBZ
which has all I need ... and seems to perform reasonably well

Thanks for your comments

Phil

with me that would be a plus .... I am aware of the restrictions with Intel
but I dont know enough to even think about overclocking (so its a bit odd me
even being in this group) but I am here because of all the expertise around!
