Fastest Coppermine Celeron?

[Slickone]

Looking for the fastest CPU I can safely run in a BH6. What's the fastest Coppermine (FCPGA) Celeron I can still easily buy? The 1.1?

I've read reports of BH6's and BE6-II's burning up (caps or mosfets) when running Tualatins (FCPGA2). Unless lowering the voltage would prevent it.

My BH6 is rev1, with the inferior 45N03 mosfets, with a MSI MS-6905 Master v2.3 slocket.

Fastest and Celeron don't go together!

i believe you're right. a 1.1 cu celly. in fc-pga package. took a looky in my hardware book.

Yep ,he's right^^^

Re caps ,they do have a tendancy to blow under high load ,the Tuallies do put a slightly higher load on the mbrd than the Coppermines but only a little more than a high end Cu PIII.
It is still possible they could blow in the short (ish) term with a 1.1GHz Cu Cel though ,just less likely

I would say for you to get a Tualatin Celeron with an upgradeware slotket and then get a couple of heatsinks for the mosfets and glue them on with AS Adhesive. The old BH6 rev. 1.04 I used to have is still in use today with a P3 1000E server proc at 1120 and it's been running that proc for almost 3 years now without a hiccup. Don't know which mosfets my old board's equipped with though. If you do blow the mosfets, you can always get it repaired by Abit for $25 though.

Can my slocket be modded to work with a Tualatin?

Maybe but I wouldn't try it ,if you wanta go that route why not just buy a Slocket T from upgradeware.com?

Because that's another $20-$25 or so, that I'd rather not put into this. I could just buy a better mobo for that or a little more.
Plus if the Taulatin blows my BH6, it'd be less I have to try to ebay (w/out the extra slocket).

The BF6 is quite a bit newer than the BH6. Surely they used better mosfets, caps, etc. by then.

Good point ,in that case don't bother with a Taulie & just get a Celermine
