800FSB and IT7 original?

[TheNEWB]

Has anyone tried a 800FSB chip on the IT7 origional?

I have this board and I'm trying to decide whether or not to go to the 3.066 or the 3.000/800.

Any suggestions fellas?

My Norhtbridge at 166 seems likes its about to melt

Thanks in Advance.

I'm running a P4M at 222 FSB, so I know the board will handle the 800 CPUs.

I hang a 80 MM fan on my W/B holddown screws, it's right over the northbridge HS.

should work but just be forewarned...those 800 chips apparently oc like a mofo. you cap your boards FSB limit before you really hit the chips oc'ing potential.

Hmm....I'm considering try a 800MHz FSB cpu in my IT7 too. Any idea if you can get a modded BIOS that will give better FSB/Mem ratios like the newer boards will? (ie: 3:2)

And if it doesn't work any recommendations on a cheap upgrade board? As long as it has SATA and supports 800MHz FSB I'm happy, don't need any other bells and whistles.

Abit IS7 = $123 @ Newegg

The chipset doesn't support any lower ratios than 1:1, so you're stuck there... As mentioned before, the chip might sure work, but thats at default speed... and maybe +15% if you got good memory...
