Socket 754 processor in a Socket A motherboard?

[Don-B]

At the risk of posting again and keeping this thread alive 🙁 , I just wanted to replace a Duron-1100 (pretty sure it's a Duron) with something a little faster. The rest of the box was upgraded a while ago; unfortunately ended up with a socket A motherboard.

The best I could find without gutting the thing was this:

AMD Athlon XP 2200+ 266MHz 256KB Socket A Processor for $43.99

....worth considering, or not. I wasn't looking for super-box, just something to do some experimenting.

I might be wrong, but I think there is a chipset incompatibility between Athlon XP's and Duron's. You could try an Athlon Thunderbird, though.

use CPU-Z or go to www.pcpitstop.com to identify your motherboard. I think the Duron was a 200 mhz processor and the 2200 is 266 mhz. See if your motherboard will support 266 mhz fsb. there may be a BIOS upgrade that'll let it happen.

There is no incompatibility with Athlon XP's and Durons assuming that the motherboard supports the core on the Athlon XP. Personally though I would recommend at least saving some money and getting a socket 939 motherboard and CPU as it should be compatible with all of your current components assuming you get one with AGP not PCIe. Any other upgrades would require almost all components be replaced (CPU, mobo, PSU, RAM, and video).

I prefer using a pneumatic brad nailer set at 120 psi....just to make sure they stick

If you mix in very fine metal shavings in the Krazy Glue you'll find that they'll conduct even if the fit isn't perfect.

See....I'm not crazy! :tongue: (shut up Capt... I can hear you giggling)

I didn't say anything...

I think my friend had a socket 462 abit NF7-s motherboard, he used a socket A sempron in it. i don't think this i what you were asking about but if it was about upgrading the cpu then look for the 462 semprons not the 754.

 

[mitch074]

The Sempron brand currently covers 3 chips categories:
- Socket A Athlon XPs have been rebranded Sempron when the Athlon64 came out; the difference between a Sempron and an Athlon on a Socket A is... ink.
- 'current' Socket 754 Sempron64 are single-channel Athlon64 processors with reduced L2 cache. They overclock quite well (my 2600+, which is factory clocked at 1600 MHz, climbs to 2400 MHz with the stock cooler, with no noticeable increase in temperature and with default voltage).
- AM2 Sempron64 are AM2 Athlon64 with reduced L2 cache... but they should use dual channel and C'n'Q for the 1800 MHz+ models (model 1600 MHz may not use C'n'Q - overclocker's friend too?).Unfortunately the high DDR2 latency hits those CPUs quite hard.

Since AMD low-costs CPUs are usually made using completely different masks without artificially reducing performance, while at the same time performance on K7/K8 chips is not really L2 cache-dependant, Duron/Sempron processors are good value overclockers - provided your mobo allows good FSB/HT bus increases.

Absolutely not.Socket A as it is reffered to is socket 462.There is no way,even with an adapter,which does not exist,will you ever get a socket 754 processor to fit in a socket A motherboard.LOL.Not gonna happen.Goodluck.

also consider this:

S754 mombo

usually I don't pick in orthography because sometimes I write with some errors (portuguese guy here!), but that mombo typo thing was funny :lol:

 

[mitch074]

You want him to stop talking mombo jombo or what?

 

[AdamBomb42]

OK, so where do I get one of them adapters???? Thanks everyone, I was right, it was a dumb question!!

Don-B

It's not worth getting it. If your getting a 754 CPU then get a 754 motherboard.

Check around. I'm sure there are lots of etailers with a few pallets of 754 motherboards gathering dust who would jump at the chance at getting your $20!

no, i was just laughing at "mombo". sounds cool :lol:

Mombo is a real word.
And that phrase reads: Our grandfathers are the rulers of mother earth. our children are their gift of grace.

...and this is me mounting the heatsink:

my god is that the intel reference cooler for the 10ghz P4?

 

[m25]

You got pretty near, actually it's the standard 9.0GHz P4 cooler; the 10GHz cooler is twice that tall :lol:

Well, according to Silicon Weekly they got their hands on a prototype K10 QFX, OC'd it to 5.64GHz and generated enough heat to melt a hole clear through the case!!!!

"The 754/939 was more straightforward; just a small interface that sit on the S754 to accommodate the 939 CPU above." -m25


where is this adapter? i would like to buy one to upgrade my amd athlon 64 3400+ to a amd athlon x2 but they have 754 pins and 939 pins respectively. I won't want to upgrade my motherboard becuase i dont have the money to upgrade all my parts at the moment.
