peranha Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 May or may not work, but if it does, it will only register at 3 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/125178-solved-cpu/#findComment-647005 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Will it even fit in the slot? It's possible you can downgrade the speed by switching some jumpers manually or else maybe in the BIOS, but you'll have to read your manuals. edit: But you don't want to just set it in there and flip the switch and go about your business. If your motherboard and your cpu aren't "attuned" to each other, bad things happen.

jaymc Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 Yeh they are the same socket, just that the CPU is faster than motherboard spec Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/125178-solved-cpu/#findComment-647013 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zq29 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Check the manufacturers website - They may have a BIOS update that supports faster chips. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/125178-solved-cpu/#findComment-647064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
