Pentium 4 / 3 Ghz CPU type Sl6wk runs at 2 Ghz

Pentium 4 / 3 Ghz CPU type Sl6wk runs at 2 Ghz.

The specs are here
http://processorfinder.intel.com/Details.aspx?sSpec=SL6WK

The computer originally had a Celeron 2.4 Ghz which I first replaced
with a Pentium 4/2.4 Ghz. That worked as it should.

I then replaced that with a P4 / 3.0 Ghz which works but runs at
1.5 Ghz or 2.0 Ghz depending on BIOS settings.
The MB manual says it can use 3 Ghz + and that it should set the
clock speed automatically.

 

What is the mobo?

 

No pattern, 2.4Ghz -> 2.4Ghz here?

What motherboard manual?

And the speeds it can set automatically / per processor are?

Me

 

So obviously it didnt. Might be a jumper setting or a BIOS setting you didnt
discover, yet.

Keep digging.

ECS Elitegroup 651-M.

I should do a search on that MB.

 

From Celeron to Pentium both at 2.4 Ghz.

ECS Elitegroup 651-M.

The manual says;
The motherboard uses a micro PGA 478-pin socket that has
the following features;

Supports 400/533 Mhz frontside bus
Accomodates Pentium 4 processors at 1.5G/1.6G/1.7G
...3.06G and above

There is no Mhz setting in the BIOS although it does allow
CPU Host/SDRAM/PCI clock to be set up to
133/166/33 at which the CPU is reported as 2.0 Ghz.

The manual says there should be a multiplier setting which is
CPU dependant. That setting does not show.

 

I'll look into that.

 

I could look into updating the BIOS.
Is it possible the P4 I have is too 'new' for the motherboard?

I will.

 

I have a bios jumper that if I change from 1-2 to 2-3 I'm taken into a
setup mode. My setup is basically just to reset passwords, but you
might have more useful options: like changing clock speeds

 

At this url
http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-MSI/651M-V_(MS-7005v2.0).html
it says my CPU is not supported on my MB, so that may be that.

 

That's not the correct page at that site for your mobo. That is a MSI
(with a similar number) mobo page.

Your ECS 651-M mobo is on another page there.
http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-ECS/651-M(V2.0).html Home » ECS »
651-M(V2.0) - Chipset: SiS 651B0 & 962L - CPU socket type: Socket 478

If you are v1, that is here
http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-ECS/651-M(V1.0).html

Also, you shouldn't be commenting there if you are reading the wrong
page. I suggest you add a comment to uncomment (or rather 'revise and
amend') your (previous) comment.

 

Neither of those sites mention my CPU so it looks like its still
incompatible.
Interestingly the MSI MB will not work with 800 Mhz FSB
processors and my CPU is 800 Mhz.
No 800 Mhz FSB or > 3 Ghz CPUs are shown for the ECS MBs.

 

Nor is that 800 freq supported in the mobo manual - 533 max

<page 2 Features>
Processor
The motherboard uses a mPGA 478-pin socket that has the
following features:
.. Accommodates Intel P4 Prescott processors
.. Supports up to a 533/400 MHz front side bus (FSB)
.. Supports "Hyper-Threading" technology CPU
Chipset The SiS651 Northbridge and SiS962/SiS962L Southbridge
chipsets are based on an innovative and scalable architecture
with proven reliability and performance.
.. Support Intel Pentium 4 series CPU with data transfer
rate of 533/400MHz

Mike Easter <> pinched out a steaming pile

Nice catch Mikey...looks like someone needs to get their money back
from whatever store sold them a CPU that wasnt compatible with their
mobo

If they're lucky...

A merchant isn't (necessarily) responsible for a customer buying a wrong
part - depending on how the purchase process was accomplished.

Let's say it was 'face to face'. (If) The customer sez, "I want a
genuine P4 for my ECS 651-M mobo instead of this celery."

Then, the merchant is/ could be (if he takes on that task) responsible
for providing the appropriate cpu upon ascertaining the customer's
designated target hardware.

But, if the customer sez, "I want this cpu right here."

.... then the merchant is only responsible for providing the cpu which was
ordered in working condition.

Merchants don't like much to take back cpu/s - maybe they were
overclocked or their pins bent or wrong voltaged or run hot or otherwise
damaged.

 

In this case the fault is entirely mine. The online auction site offered no
guarantees.

At least I know the CPU works.
