Processor FSB vs Mobo FSB

[sakumar79]

Hi,

Just wanted to clarify - if I get E6550 (which has 1333MHz FSB), will the purchase of a motherboard with 800 MHz FSB or 1066 MHz FSB act as a bottleneck, or is the FSB of the mobo unrelated to the FSB of the proccy?

u wont be able to boot only.. U ll need a mobo wit a fsb >= the proccy fsb..

u wont be able to boot only

I have seen in those cases Procy runs Underclocked and heats up a lot !!! U overclock u heat up the procy u underclock, still u heat up the procy

i've heard underclocking can do much more damage than OC bcoz u're forcing more voltage than needed . . .

Yikes... Are there any decent low-cost ASUS motherboards that support 1333MHz FSB?

a decent but Lowest for a 1333 FSB would be XFX 650i Ultra as for asus, P5N-E SLi or P5K-VM both are around 7k i suppose...

get ASUS P5K-VM for 7k....
