Hello,
I know this question probably has been asked quite a few times. But I'm planning to run a 1GHz Pentium III with an Abit Slocket !!! and was wondering if anybody has had success running these higher amperage coppermines long term on a BH6?
I used to have a Abit BH6 Rev 1.00 many years ago and ran it with a Celeron Coppermine 900 oc'ed to 1GHz for years without issue (This board is long gone now. Got rid of it not knowing its value. 🙁 ). In fact, that was in my first computer which originally had a 300A@450MHz.
But I've read many posts online saying that the higher current coppermines and tualatins can cause damage, even on the newer revisions. I understand the Tualatins are obviously risky due to their very high current requirements, and wouldn't attempt to use one without a Powerleap (if I ever find one 🙁 ).
My current BH6 is a Rev. 1.02 with the newer 55N03LT MOSFETs and flashed to the SS BIOS.
Hope somebody can chime in on this.
Thank you
