D975XBX2 and Intel C2D E7600
Posted: Sun Sep 06, 2009 4:47 pm
As an experiment, I put an Intel E7600 (3.066 GHz, 266 FSB, 11.5 Multiplier) in my good old Bad Axe 2.
I did not really suspect it to work, but, it did, somewhat. Although I'm running with the latest Bios (2838), which is quite old, the CPU is obviously not known. The CPU runs with the lowest multiplier (6), giving a speed of just 1.6 GHz. Overclocking the FSB to 333 MHz was easy, but, does not help that much anyway.
I'm just posting this, so anyone wanting to try this combo, knows what he/she is getting into.
