asus p2-99 and a celeron 633mhz CPU????????

the big Firefly · Apr 3, 2006, 08:41 AM

hi guys.

if got a asus p2-99 that im build for my little sister and it had a celeron 433mhz CPU in but i want to upgrade it to 633mhz CPU.

if got the manual but the highest it says the CPU is 550mhz. i read a nother thread where a guy inserted a 700mhz cpu... so i know the motherboard can handel it. he also said it can go up to 1ghz. but dont know about that.

i downloaded the latest bios because i think the manual was written before the 633mhz chip so maby the bios update will fix that. but can you guy help me.....i thried

everything but not a thing happens...............thanks

It just won't boot with that proc?

Its possible that the multiplier is too high. YOu may have to raise the FSB and try and get as close to stock as you can

i dont know what you mean with: YOu may have to raise the FSB and try and get as close to stock as you can. how do i do that>>? sorry noob at this ratio stuff(i mostly build up newer systems with no jumpers).....

Hmm, if you can find the manual online for that board I'd be able to tell you for sure

Eight jumpers possables are

FSB speed : PCI speed

66.8 33.4
75 37.5
83.3 41.65
100.3 33.43
103 34.3
105 35
110 36.67
112 37.33
115 38.33
120 40
124 31
124 41.33
133 33.3
133 44.33
140 35
150 37.5

So iur likely that for the 100mhz bus 550 that people are simply over
clocking the FSB to get to the higher setting but that going to make
the chipset and CPU very hot, and the cpu must be able to handle the
FSB. Micgh even require unlocking the CPU...

(also there is a p2-99 and a p2-99B and there is more then 1 bord revision)

the manual for p2-99

Neon most card CPU's are unlocked/older ones anyway...this was pre-OCing anyway. Hell if my old IBM machine had a better mobo and BIOS, I have an unlocked K7 Pluto 600 MHz wit hthe 1/2 divider L2 cache

the big Firefly · Apr 4, 2006, 06:47 AM

i have the manual already, but how can i get the mobo to go up to 633 mhz. can you guys please show me witch setting i must use to make it work. just tell me what to do......and ill do that.....

the big Firefly · Apr 4, 2006, 07:01 AM

i think i found the problem if you read the manual were it talks about the ram sticks it sys somthing about the ram beeing 100mhz and the ram i inserted was 133mhz so ill try that tonight an see what happens. orr it may be my slot 1 card that is giving the problem. what do you guys think....

the big Firefly · Apr 4, 2006, 07:05 AM

o and the mobo is rev.1.12 and its a p2-99 and not a p2-99b.......

i realy want to fix this pc. it will just be great and hey my ill improve in my "computer skills"

thanks guys

Does it say anywhere in the manual about setting a muiltiplier or FSB? That's the info I need to figure this out. If you can't adjust those you're SOL

the big Firefly · Apr 6, 2006, 07:43 AM

yes it does. but its a pdf file. and i only have acrobat reader so i cant copy and paste it in this tread, well i cant copy and paste it anywhere.

here is the pdf file on the web:

the manual for p2-99

the big Firefly · Apr 6, 2006, 09:12 AM

i read a tread now that said i must set my FSB to 100mhz, the problem is i dont know how to?????

H3X4D3C1M4L · Apr 6, 2006, 02:37 PM

The manual is downloading for me at less than 2 kb/sec so I'm gonna let it go, then when I get home later today I'll take a look at what jumpers you need to set

the big Firefly · Apr 10, 2006, 12:53 PM

thanks alot. ill wait upon your reply

H3X4D3C1M4L · Apr 10, 2006, 02:59 PM

The PDF got corrupted in download.... I'll try again and see if I can get it at work maybe.

Hopefully its just a matter of flipping one or two... but exercise caution doing this all the same

H3X4D3C1M4L · Apr 13, 2006, 08:41 PM

I got it. I know how to do it too. Let me just look cause you have more than one way of running 633 MHz

H3X4D3C1M4L · Apr 14, 2006, 04:13 PM

OK.

Set the FSB to 100 and the multiplier to 6.5. That gives you 650 MHz which is close to stock.

the big Firefly · Apr 18, 2006, 06:47 AM

ok ill go do that tonight. and see thanks....let you know tomorrow
