Msi K7T Turbo + Thoroughbred (0.13u) = ?

eeee, pa ti lahko odgovorim, spet jaz, hehe:

************************************************
For the people who are thinking about upgrading their CPU to a Thoroughbred XP on their K7T Turbo (1), fear not:
it works, the board supports it (why wouldn't it, the architecture is identical to the Palomino)!

I read mixed reports about this and I wanted to add my experience...

Since a few days I've got an XP1700+ TBred and
no problems whatsoever. And to al the people always
recommending bigger PSU's as possible solution:
I only have a cheap 230W powersupply and it's rock solid...
I did update to the latest bios (3.6) before I upgraded the cpu and removed J17 (100/133 operation) and all went well from the first boot

So this means we can use this fantastic board a while longer with a modern cpu!

BTW: I chose a Arctic Cooling Silent Copper as my cooler, it gives me about 40°C idle and 44°C stressed, so while it's cheap it's not bad, and important: you do not hear it, nothing, even with the case open. incredible...

I hope that this posting takes the doubt away some people may be having about upgrading to an XP!


********to je z MSIjevega foruma*************

ne vem, če se ti ravno splača kupovati 2000+, ker je to zadnji proc, ki bi še lahko deloval na tej plati. raje kupi 1700+ in še ga potem naviješ do 2000+.
