Posted: Thu Oct 08, 2009 1:38 am Post subject: Difference PIII xeon 2.8v and 5/12v |
|
|
I recently bought a Asus XG-DLS Dual slot 2 motherboard.
I was just wondering, would 5/12 volt processors work on this board.
It's not so clear to me if it would work, as the manual doesnt say anything about it, and i don't want to risk ruining the board.
So, what does the difference in voltage mean?
Please help me  |

That board is only made for 100MHz bus 2.0V (Tanner core) xeons up to 550MHz
but if you found a board to run Cascades core xeons, this gives you a more info on voltage requirements of the different processors

one thing i learnt was that most are listed as having SC330 or SC330.1 SECC package, some that were made for Intel 440GX chipset boards are listed as a 495-pin SECC package  _________________ There are 10 types of people in this world:

Boards which are 5/12V require processors with onboard VRegs, and processors with 2.8V ratings are for boards which have onboard or daughterboard voltage regulators.
They are NOT interchangable. |
