The Burn-Out: SMASHING Ivolt. The choice of champions.

CPU-Z will tell you the socket type and the chipsets supported by your motherboard.

Well I know (now) that it's a socket P.

What threw me off is that Celeron 530s are made in both P and M sockets, which i didnt know.
And when i ordered the CPU, they didnt specify what socket it was either so :\

With the price of processors, it's best to be careful .

Didn't pay anything for it.

And the T7500 i'm looking at is $40.

They can shove that straight up their arses.

Server processor?

They can shove that straight up their arses.

But it had 6 cores, with 6 more virtual cores to gain a theoretical processing speed of 39.96GHz. But that isn't even overclocking it.

Server processor?

Yeah, basically. Or just some fanatic's dream child.

[Quiji]

Apparently you can hit 4.6GHz so the max is 55.2.

No normal person needs that kind of power. Imagine how hot that would get .

Install an A/C window unit into the side of your tower?
If you can afford that CPU, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

Air alone wouldn't even get close to cooling that thing off. You need a water cooling system, and a good one at that.

Also, you would need one hell of a power box on your PC to run it at full power.

With the proper setup, you could probably pull off air-cooling. Any server is run in a room with heavy-duty AC anyway.
