Anyone have any info on the compatibility of the TH7-II and the about to be realesed 3.06 NW?

Do any of the current ( or those being tinkered with:D ) ... Bios versions official/Custom support the 3.06 CPU microcode?

Any feedback appreciated.......looking at wringing a little more life out of my faithfull TH7- II !!

Thanks..

most bios for that board have up to a 24x multi, so since the chip has a 23x multi, it is compatitable. hyperthreading, is a different story, but the chip WILL work in the board.;)
 
The chip should work fine. If you havn't done the 133 fsb before make sure you set the agp pci to fixed and the mem speed to 300
and get the latest bios....

The voltage caps on the TH7-II work until 50A. [email protected] would be 52.5A.

I doubt that it will work... That is also the reason why it is that hard to overclock over the 3GHz limit with the TH7-II...

Just a thought.

first, sorry for my english....

what is with the HT - support with the i850 chipsets! Does ist work? Perhaps with a new modded bios?

A cap is a capacitor, the fat cylindrical parts on your mobo. The point Merkor is making is that the current needed to run the 3.06 CPU is over the rated maximum for the capacitors on the board. Something that will probably make the board extremely unstable. I am afraid I have to agree with Merkor, although I am very curious to see exactly what will happen....
 
I don't think merkor was talking about capacitors since they aren't current devices they are voltage devices. If the voltage doesn't go over the rated value its ok. The caps on the board are for filtering and power supply smoothing.PS voltage doesn't go up..The current to run the 3 gig shouldn't be a concern. There may be other concerns but I'm trying to learn also..

Hmm, I did not mean the caps. I am German and I don't know the exact translation but I meant the voltage transformers or voltage converters (dunno how you call it) on the board.

Somebody told me that these are only specified until 50A...
