What is the Furthest A BH6 Will Go???

[locutus4]

Okay my friend has a slocket and has a 533 running now on hsi BH6, what if he were to buy a 1Ghz chip, would it still work?

This question has been asked so many times it's not even funny.

try a search.

question - what was the fastest Celeron slot 1? I see 1ghz p3 slot 1's, but no 1+ ghz celerons... the p3 1gigs are too rich for my blood

Yes it would. The BH-6 supported up to p3 1ghz. It even supported the 1.2ghz p3 chip (I think it was 1.2ghz? maybe it was 1.1ghz?) that showed up for about 1-2 months and then Intel pulled because of stability problems.

I dont think the CuMine Celerons ever came in slot1, never seen one anyway. Get a Slocket and a 1.1 GHz Celeron.

Sure it will work but I don't know about the gains here. I could run my Celeron 533 @ 996. For all practical purposes doing everyday tasks, your not going to notice a difference.

Depends on if he meant C533 or C533A. One is very overclockable, the other isn't.

Old fart:Slot1 PIII's are not only exist, they also exist in 100MHZ FSB format. How else do you think the i820 boards worked? 😉

😱 Whoops, read twice before you reply. yeah, anyways, Slotket would work.

Old fart😀o you know what the *electrical* limit of that board is? I'm not sure if it would electrically be able to support such a fast processor.
You know, power draw, etc..

 

[oldfart]

Not sure what the power limit is. Remember when the BH6's came out the older power sucking PIII 600 2.05 Vcore Katami's were around. They use a ton of juice. Lots of people (including me) use C900 - C1100's in BH6 boards with no issue.

You'd be able to run any Cumine128 Celeron. My bro has a BF6, which is very similar to the BH6, and he's running a C1.1 at over 1200MHz...in fact its even possible to mod your slotket and CPU to accomodate Tualatin128 Celerons.
