My 333 p2 can go as low as 2x multi and i think my 300 (66fsb version) and 266 can do that also. So the lowest would be 2x 66mhz = 133mhz on 440BX. Some 440LX boards can go even lower as 66mhz fsb and can do 60 and 50mhz fsb. So it should be possible to run some p2 cpu on some LX board at 2x50mhz. …

Benched my P3 1100 (P2B, 100MHz FSB) before it goes to a new home. 877 MIPS, not bad.

I saw this distinctly Intel design. Probably an i740. https://i.imgur.com/LlqcHmvl.jpg Oh wow, that's really interesting! I have a couple of i740s and neither have fans, let alone unique looking "Intel" fans. I don't recall ever hearing about an "overclocked" model of the i740, so I'm not sure why …

Forget the revision of the P2B. You need to check the voltage regulator. I have a P2B rev. 1.10 working with a 1,1ghz coppermine, so you get the picture.

Looking at your pics, it looks like the slotket has some kind of VRM on it. For slotkets without any voltage adjustments, Coppermine will not work on P2B <= 1.12. If you have a PowerLeap iP3/T adapter, you can put a Tualatin 1.4GHz Celeron and run it on any P2B. Technically Tualatin Pentium 3 1. …
