bobdotorg Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I just bought an engineering sample e8300. It has a 1333 FSB. My mobo specs say 1066 / 800. Will it work? Will it be underclocked? The mobo is a Gigabyte GA-945gcm-s2c. Same question about RAM - I bought DDR800 ram, and the mobo takes 667. Is underclocking teh RAM a problem. After decades of Mac use, I'm a complete noob to all of this PC goo. Any insights will be greatly appreciated. Edit: a quick googling shows that I may have just hosed myself - my mobo does not appear to officially support a 45nm processor, but a beta bios might: http://www.gigabyte-usa.com/Support/Mother...?ProductID=2602 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98597-can-you-use-a-1333fsb-cpu-on-a-1066-800-mobo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bestestever Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Well, I would do a bunch of research on it. Google Foums Ask.com ECT And just find any little bit of info you can on it. Than make a descion to try it or not.

Superhai Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Underclocking is seldom a problem. As long as it is able to use the frequencies.
