Hey guys, I just got a 120Mhz Pentium (Socket 5) for my Triton motherboard to replace my 90Mhz chip. When I slot in the new chip the board never gives the all is well beep and I get no video. Anyways it seems like something is wrong with the new chip though I cant see anything physically wrong with it.
Anyways I decided to see if possibly the motherboard couldnt handle it even though it is supposed to so I overclocked my 90mhz chip to 120, and it works fine. So I'm assuming something is wrong with the new chip.
Now on to my real question, since the board runs fine at 120Mhz with the P90 chip (which has an active HSF) do I even need to bother with an official 120Mhz chip? Is there anything wrong with running my P90 at 120Mhz long term?
