Can P4 533FSB run on the Abit TH7II-RAID??

[Binarydigit313]

I got a Abit TH7II-RAID mobo and im wondering if it can run a P4 2.8Ghz/533Mhz FSB cpu on it?? Its a 400Mhz fsb mobo but i have seen stuff around saying people use 533MHz FSB chips on it. Is that true or false???


Thanks

I was told no. I had to upgrade my MB after buying the same processor.

I run my new 2.66 133/533 Northy on my TH7-II, without problem.

In fact, I bumped the FSB to 150/600 for a 3.0 GHz overclock.

So its confirmed that the TH7-II CAN run 533fsb CPU's? The TH7 seems to be the ultimate RDRAM solution for the P4 since its probably the most feature-rich 850 mobo out there. And I don't see Abit coming out with a TH7-III.

Yes, the TH7-II can run 533MHz FSB P4's. One thing to note about the TH7-II, you will have a whale of a time trying to run PC1066 on it at high FSB. The modules will default to a 4x RD multiplier and the DRCG's on the board will be your limiting factor in an OC. However, that being said, the TH7-II is still my favorite RD solution, one can achieve really nice high FSB OC's with some good PC800 RDRAM and a 3x RD multiplier and not sacrifice the memory bandwidth if say, youre hitting in the upper 160's. Good board, good choice, I still wish Abit would have put some time into making an updated RD solution. Oh well, Granite Bay it is for the next step in the quest for memory bandwidth.

I just ordered a P4 2.4B which I would like to install in my ABIT TH7ii.
I'm currently running a P4 1.8 (older 256K cache Williamette)
with the latest Abit BIOS (BF) and 256M Kingston PC800 memory.
When I install the new CPU exactly what will I need to change in the cmos
setup to allow the new CPU to run correctly (and enable the 533Mhz FSB) ?
