mobo issue
 

as my p3 700 isn't good enough for me (no decent cooling available for oc'ing, i'll need the pc for a while)

i've bought (on hold though)
-a slocket adapter
-a celeron 1200 mhz

my question: my mobo flashed bios displays multipliers up to 10 (or 11)

what will be the effect if i would put a cpu with a higher multiplier?
on the o² fora they gave these possibilities:
a) it just doesn't work
b) there are problems with higher multipliers
c) when the bios flash was released, there were only chips on the market with 10x/11x multiplier=>higher multipliers can be reached

or: the cpu runs at 10/11 multiplier, can this be possible?

greetz, T

mmmm

isn't it possible to select "auto" or something?

sure, but what will be the result?

12x ?

I think it'll work..

Worst case = no boot..

what is the core type of the celeron? it might not be compatible voltage wise for the mobo you are using.

it's an abit-bh6, so it can oc wel

i'll check my bios in a moment
mot: multiplier up to 12x
core voltage up to 1.85

so the 1200 won't be a problem:super:
anyway, i'll try to borrow a 1400 anyway to test it
