hardware question.

by Trevize • 20 Jan 2009, 20:43 • Journals
I have got an ASUS P5PL2-E motherboard with some shitty Core 2 Duo (2*2,0 Ghz) processor.
I want to buy this: INTEL S775 CORE 2 DUO E8500 3,16GHz 64Bit

Is it compatible? And how a processor change is going? Simple?
Or its not like that? I have to buy new motherboard too if I want that cpu?

Thanks in advance!

it should definitely fit on your mainboard!
if it's simple depends on your skills with such things. :p

Yes it will fit physically in your motherboard, but that cpu runs at a 1333 Mhz fsb, where your motherboard only supports 1066 Mhz - according to the asus site... so no don't...

overclock your 2 ghz dualcore to lets say 3.3 Ghz. Save your money for good GPU. Only need to get a good cooler. €40,- for Zalman.

I recently overclocked a 1.8 Ghz dualcore to 3.3 Ghz stable. Orthos tested etc. Only the CPU, not the RAM. Still running fine and score 11400 in 3dmark06.. Or is this type CPU he got such a bad overclocker? Didn't check it tbh..
his motherboard is excellent for overclocking afaik!

posted some links below for E2180, on the mobo he should check the BIOS for jumperfree configuration. But first get a good cooler :)

2 GHz > 3.3 GHz

Nice :D he might reach 2,3 GHz with stock cooling
