Going to do a temp. build and was wondering if an Asus P5K-VM will support a Celeron 430?
Can't find a support list but it should huh? |

Found the CPU Support list here: http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/c...Language=en-us Indeed the Celry 430 is listed since BIOS 0304.

If you haven't bought the processor yet, take a look at getting the celeron dual core, it's almost the same price as the celeron 430, but it faster in most applications, and you can do a 100% overclock on it if you are into overclocking.

Hey Masaki, Went ahead and bought it in a bundle (w/an ECS 945GCT-M/1333 motherboard). Going to sell the mobo and use this until the upcoming price drop on the E8xxx's. Figured...for around $25, couldn't go wrong. (Kinda in low budget mode right now as my 19" LCD died and had to unexpectedly get a new monitor.) Looking around at reviews and stuff,it should be fun to overclock this little guy a bit.
Sure like the looks of that E1200 build of yours though! (Nice Nice) 3.2...YAHOO!!!! Last edited by bd1886; 08-16-2008 at 05:27 AM. |

If you are going to overclock to above 2.4GHz (you should be able to get to 2.4GHz without adjusting Vcore), take a look at using a different heatsink (preferably one with a copper core) and/or using artic silver 5 to lower temperatures as the heatsink that comes with the processor is probably the least effective that Intel currently offers (It will give you load temps of around 55-60C under full load if the Vcore isn't increased, if you increase Vcore load temps may get as high as 70C). Good luck with your new build.

Yup...agree on needing a better HSF. Picked up a Zalman 9500 AT (The Cely will benefit but the future CPU really will). Not planning on pushing it to hard with the OC. Just going to get it up to a respectable speed for day to day stuff. I'm right in the middle of this build now and I sure am pleased with the components. This case is the new Antec Mini P180. Fit,finish,cable management and cooling sure do shine! Anyways...sure is going to be better, as far as the upgrade path, compared to my Aria. Has the micro ATX constraint with the motherboard but I'm used to 'em. Exact size as the 900 too? Excellent design. (Sorry for goin' off but this build is going so slick!)

That Celeron is no "Celeron"! It really overclocks well and still stays cooler than my E6400. (Only went to 2.6 but seemed to run fine @ 3.0ghz!) Although it is not in the same league as it's larger cashed,cored and enabled big brothers...for single tasking...this thing is no slouch. If you need to build @ a low price point (or have a back-up CPU?), quick,quick. Nice space filler till the upgrade. Intel's performance is stacked deep in both directions for sure. It's not your Grandma's Celeron.
Masaki, The load temps are still under/around 55c... like you said. Nice! Last edited by bd1886; 08-25-2008 at 04:40 PM. Reason: Addition |

Thing is, a dual core Celeron is only 10 bucks more.

Yes...I'm just saying I'm pleased with this little guy. In the end it was only $25.00 for me (and a good space filler) until I get the E8xxx I want. Single core is nearing the end for sure.
